Exodus 9 – 12
This story includes the final six plagues and Israel being released. I am not going to clip scripture this thought since expanding out each plague and god associated with that is going to take some space. The next plague was the death of cattle and livestock which was to show superiority over the goddess Hathor, which was originally worshiped in the form of a cow. She was also the symbolic mother of Pharaoh.
The 6th plague was abscesses’ to break out on all the people of Egypt. This was a “finger” in the face of Isis. The almighty Isis (sorry had to – from the 70’s show) was the goddess of medicine and peace and is the Egyptian equivalent of Semiramis or the Queen of Babylon. The next plague was fire and hail from the sky to show God superiority over the Egyptian god of the sky Nut. Also, this plague was an affront to Shu the wind god and Horace the hot headed sky god. Also, note this was the first plague Pharaoh starts to negotiate with them and appears to soften his heart.
The eight plague was locusts send from the sky to devour everything. This was a show of superiority over Seth or the god of crops. Seth was also abused in the previous plague, but God finished him off here. Again Pharaoh tried to negotiate the release, but his heart hardened. The ninth plague was three days of complete darkness and was showing superiority over the sun god Ra and various other gods. This time Pharaoh set himself up for the final plague.
The final plague was death to the first born of Egypt, which was Pharaoh’s own curse trying to destroy Moses kill all first born males. This was to show superiority over all the gods of Egypt and to show how helpless they were against God. This was also considered an attack on the god that was considered the greatest of them all, Pharaoh. We see Pharaoh as the most dangerous of gods since he is a man being elevated to godlike status and is where the flaw is in most beliefs outside the Bible. Heck evolution has us evolving to gods, Satan tempted Adam and Eve to be God-like in eating the fruit. The current movie/book The Secret instructs one on how to elevate themselves to a god and get lots of goodies.
All this is an attempt to dismiss the one true God.
Now I lied and will insert one verse, verse 12:6 where God is discussing the Passover celebration:
Keep this chosen lamb safe until the fourteenth day of the month, then the entire community of Israel will slaughter their lambs together at twilight.
Remember the “Last Supper” was the Passover meal and Jesus was the Passover lamb. I have not researched the exact timing, but believe it will match the ritual laid out by God here in Exodus. Jesus is the lamb that was slaughter for our salvation. On judgment with His blood over our doors (figuratively of course) we will be passed over for eternals judgment. How cool is that?
