Well, today was an interesting chapter. Sorry for sending this out so late, but I'm sure it doesn't really make THAT big of a difference. :) The reading was good, a little repetitive I thought, when it came to all the different plagues, but when you actually step back and imagine how terrible all the plagues were, they were anything but boring. I laughed out loud when I tried to visualize the frogs being everywhere. It almost seems like God was trying to be funny. "I am God, watch me invade your house with... frogs." Hahaha. He could have picked anything. Lions. Snakes. Wild pigs. And yet he picked frogs. While frogs don't seem so terrifying, just think about this for a second. Pharaoh and the Egyptians were so distraught with frogs being everywhere that they were willing to let all there slaves free, literally there only source for getting things done, just to get ride of the frogs. Wow! That is a lot of frogs! Anyways, that is just an observation I had. On to the questions!
- What was the name of Joseph's brother?
- Who rescued Moses as a boy in the Nile?
- How many plagues did God send on Egypt?
- What happened to the serpents when the magician's "magically" turned their rods into snakes as Moses did?
- Many people believe that Moses and Aaron went directly to Pharaoh as soon as they were told what to do, but who did really talk to first, before asking Pharaoh?
God Bless,
