August 13, 2010 – Exodus 10-11

Seth – the god of wind and storms, also the god of chaos and evil.

Ra – the god of the Sun

Pharaoh – the last plague was an attack on Pharaoh himself who was thought of as a deity and his first born son, the future Pharaoh.   Here we see the climax of the plagues and the introduction to what will become Passover.  we see that God was building up for this moment.  It would not have worked otherwise, the lessons would not have been learned, the Egyptians would not have told them to leave, the power of the Egyptian gods would not have been shown as obsolete, if God had not done it His way.  Help us always remember the long and painful way may be the path we are suppose to go to get to the greater places God has in store for us.  Remember that all this really stemmed from Joseph’s evil brothers leading to this moment.
