Exodus 7-9
- Okay, so hold on. What was the point in God making Pharaoh so obstinate (aka bull-headed) and deliberately making it 100x harder to free the Israelites, wen He could have just as easily made Pharaoh an agreeable sort of fellow, and thus saving everyone the time, trouble, and pain? Seriously! I feel like there's an upcoming lesson to be had for someone, but then why not keep the fact that He did it on purpose to Himself?
- Okay, so maybe it was so the Israelites truly believe in Him. Also, 80 seems awfully old for a person to take up such a crusade. I feel bad for Moses at this point.
- Staffs into snakes? No, thank you. I hate snakes.
The Plagues
Plague 1: Blood. Bad for humans, good for vampires.
Plague 2: Frogs.
- Did the plagues happen simultaneously or sequentially?
Plague 3: Gnats. Gross.
- "The Finger" is the staff, not an obscene gesture due to Pharaoh being a jerk.
Plague 4: Flies. Again, gross.
-MOSES. He just hopefully learned "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me." He's 80 years old, for crying out loud. He should know better!
Plague 5: Pestilence (a fatal epidemic)
Plague 6: Boils.
- How are there still beasts that the boils effect if the pestilence wiped them all out?
Plague 7: Hail.
- Is hail naturally possible in Egypt? Particularly, was it possible in ancient Egypt?
- Well, at least Moses tried correctly with Pharaoh the third time around, in saying "let us go, then we'll pray the plague gone." Pharaoh is still a jerk.
- Next up- ancient high speed chase? We'll see.
