The Plagues Begin

Exodus 7 and 8

 

1.   In Exodus 7:1, God told Moses, “I have made you like God to pharaoh”.  Are there times that He makes us like God to other people? How? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

2.   How old are Aaron and Moses at this point? What is Aaron’s role? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

3.   The Egyptians worshipped the Nile River and the river gods.  How did God show He is greater than the gods of the river in Exodus 7? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

4.   Why is pharaoh having his magicians try to match God’s power? Why are their actions demonic?  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

5.   Have you ever fought your battles through prayer and your adversaries believe they are going up against an ordinary power?  ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

 

6.   By the time of the second plague of frogs, how do we know that pharaoh’s will was starting to weaken? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

7.   How is the third plague of lice/gnats different from the previous two? Why did the magicians say, “this is the finger of God” to pharaoh? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

 

8.   How is the fourth plague of the flies different than the previous three plagues? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  

 

9.   Pharaoh did not hold on to his promise to let the Israelites go. Is this similar to Christians who harden their hearts towards God when they get what they want? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  

 

10. How many plagues are there altogether? Do you notice any patterns with the plagues? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
