Ep 77. Exodus 7-8: The Plagues: Yahweh vs. The Gods of Egypt

Exodus 7–8 comes alive as we follow Moses and Aaron into Pharaoh’s court, unpack the “staff vs. serpent” showdown, and trace the first three plagues—water to blood, frogs everywhere, and gnats—from their biblical text to their Egyptian context. We explore how each sign confronts specific gods (Osiris, Heqt, Geb), why Pharaoh’s heart is “made heavy,” and what the magicians’ limits reveal about the “finger of God.” Stick around for rich historical notes (Book of the Dead, Apophis/Uraeus) and pastoral takeaways on obedience and prayer. If you enjoy Bible + history + application, this one’s for you. Like, comment, and subscribe to support the channel!
