Text, Questions & Answers

In the ancient land of Egypt, Moses, a humble servant of God, pleaded for the freedom of his people, the Israelites. In response, God sent a series of terrifying plagues upon Egypt. The once life-giving Nile turned into a river of blood, frogs swarmed the land, and dust morphed into gnats. Yet, Pharaoh's pride stood firm. He refused to release the Israelites, leading to more severe plagues. Swarms of flies invaded Egypt, causing chaos and discomfort. Despite the horrifying events and the suffering of his people, Pharaoh's disbelief in God's power only grew. His stubborn refusal serves as a stark reminder of the pitfalls of pride and the importance of faith.
