INTRODUCTION:

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, nor concordances, nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

Exodus Chapter 10: MORE HUMBLING, LESS HUMILITY

THE TEN PLAGUES UPON EGYPT BY GOD, EXODUS

  1. Water turned to blood (Exodus 7:17)
  2. Plague of frogs (Exodus 8:2)
  3. Plague of lice (Exodus 8:16)
  4. Plague of flies (Exodus 8:20)
  5. Plague of animal disease, a murrain (Exodus 9:2)
  6. Plague of boils and blains (Exodus 9:9)
  7. Plague of deadly, fiery hail (Exodus 9:22)

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------YOU ARE NOW HERE -------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  8. Plague of locusts (Exodus 10:4)
  9. Plague of darkness (Exodus 10:21)
  10. Plague of death of the firstborn (Exodus 11:5)
  1. Water Turned to Blood (Hapi. god of the Nile River)
  2. Frogs Coming From the Nile (Heket, Heqet, god of fertility)
  3. Lice From the Earth's Dust (Geb, the sky god)
  4. Swarms of Flies (Khepri, the god of the morning sun, in the form of a scarab beetle)
  5. Death of Cattle and Livestock (Hathor, sky, the god of women, fertility and love.)
  6. Ashes Turned to Boils and Sores (Isis, most popular goddess, of the seat, the throne, most enduring, loved, mother of the Pharaohs)
  7. Hail in the Form of Fire (Nut, sky goddess, esp. the Milky Way, which was worshipped)
  8. Locusts Upon all of the earth in Egypt (Seth, god of chaos and storms)
  9. Three Days of Complete Darkness (Ra, the sun god, circle god). Today we have this sing god worshipped by scientists as "the cosmic egg" from which the universes came, and thus Ra is traced from Egyptian paganism to Greek paganism, pagan Hinduism and then through to today
  10. Death of the Firstborn (Pharaoh, worshipped as a god like all of them). The Jesuit who invented the Big Bang theory, Georges Lemaître, used that as his basis.

In this chapter, again Pharaoh plays fake games, making pretense that he plans to let Israel go when he does not. Throughout the Word of God and especially for us to learn here is that God has sovereignty over all of His creation to use it for His purposes,in this case for a lesson for Pharaoh then, ISrael then, us tday to learn from. We are shown that man does not want God to tell him what to do, yet God allows all evil to continue on this earth-!UNTIL THAT DAY HE DECIDES NO MORE

(Exodus 10:1 [KJV])
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:

(Exodus 10:2 [KJV])
And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.

(Exodus 10:3 [KJV])
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

(Exodus 10:4 [KJV])
Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:

(Exodus 10:5-6 [KJV])
And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.


Locust swarm in the air


Locusts swarm on the ground

(Exodus 10:7 [KJV])

(1 Timothy 6:5-9 [KJV])
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

(Exodus 10:10-11 [KJV])
And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

(Isaiah 5:18-20 [KJV])
Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it! Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

(Exodus 10:12-15 [KJV])
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

(Exodus 10:16-17 [KJV])
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.

(Exodus 10:18-19 [KJV])
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD. And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.

(Exodus 10:20 [KJV])
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

(Exodus 10:21-23 [KJV])
And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

(Exodus 10:24 [KJV])
And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.

(Exodus 10:25-26 [KJV])
And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God. Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.

(Exodus 10:27-28 [KJV])
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

(Exodus 10:29 [KJV])
And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
