God's 10th Plague (part three)

The Israelite's had begged God to free them from the bondage of slavery that Egypt had over them. God heard their cried and sent Moses and Aaron to Pharoah to tell him to release them. Pharoah had refused and so God had to send plagues in order to convince him to change his mind and let them go. But Pharoah was a stubborn man, and used to getting anything he wanted. He kept saying he wouuld release them but then would change his mind The first nine plagues had not been easy or plaesant in any way, shape or form. Blood in the water, frogs, storms that destroyed everything and more. What else could God use to make Pharah twice about letting God's people go?

He obviously did not consider it Or if he had, he wasn't paying attention, didn't think God would actually do any more, didn't care...or something. He didn't stop to think he was not playing cards with someone that could and would do what it took to get his people released from the grip that Pharaoh had on them.

The 10th and final plague would get results, and it wasn't a pleasant one to deal with, and in fact was most likely the worst of all..

God told Moses that this last one would be the one that will lift the hand of Pharoah and he would finally free them (my thought is underlined here)

It would  have grave consequences though to Pharaoh himself.

By now, Moses had gained high regards from the Egyptians and some of the Pharaoh's servants, through God. And so God told Moses to have his people go those people and ask for gold, silver and the like. And then about midnight, he (God) would come into Egypt and kill all of their firstborn from Pharaoh on down. However, the Israelite's would be exempted from this plague.

The people were to take lambs and God gave Moses specific instructions about eating these lambs in Exodus 12:1-11. After which they were to take the lamb's blood and put it on the doors two side posts and also on the upper post of the door, because when God comes through Egypt to kill the first born of every family, when he sees the blood on the doors, he will Passover and would not kill the firstborn int those houses.

And then God said, "This day shall be a memorial to you and you shall keep it as a feast to the Lord through all generations..."

Moses and Aaron conveyed God's message to the Isrealites and they did what God had told them to do.And at midnight, God came through and when it was over, there was not one Egyptian household that had not been affected. God had even killed the first born of their cattle Pharoah himself  had lost his own firstborn.

And with that, God told Moses and Aaron to gather their belongings, and the Children of Israel and go. Pharaoh himself, could no longer hold them. They weren't his to hold. Now they were free.


And off they went to the land God was sending them too. The land he promised them. THE PROMISED LAND.

A good lesson for us. No matter what the circumstances or the time limits we sometimes put on ourselves:   

God always keeps his promises!!!!
