Almost everyone has heard of or read the story in Exodus of the
10 plagues of Egypt. Adventure doesn’t get much better than some
of the stories of the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land
that come out of the Torah. The difference between the Words of
the Torah and the words of a fiction story is just that ... one
is truth; one is pure fabrication. And so it goes with the story
of Moses, the Pharaoh of Egypt, and the 10 plagues, and the
exodus out of Egypt ... a true story that points to a future
event ... the Greater Exodus. After 430 years in Egypt, Yahweh
heard (Shema) the groaning of His people and remembered His
Covenant with them. He still hears and remembers His people
today, and He will lead us out and through just as He did the
Israelites. Remember that “Egypt” is a picture of the sinful
world (bondage) and the plagues in Egypt point to the to the
coming judgments in Revelation which ultimately leads to the
Greater - and Final - Exodus of Yahweh’s people. Moses raised
his staff in Exodus 7:14-25
