The Power Of Three: Foundation - Plagues Of Egypt

Continuing on with laying our foundation, we looked at the Plagues of Egypt this week.  As we've discussed in regard to The Power Of Three: If you look for it, you'll find it!  Now, I'm having a little bit of fun looking for it, so it wasn't any surprise to me when I found several as we reviewed the plagues.  First, here are the slides we reviewed in depth:

We discovered a number of "triads" as we unwrapped the plagues, all while grouping the plagues into 3 sets of 3 each.  The first series of plagues affected all the living, physical aspects of Egypt (animals, humans, plants) and they were borne out of other elements originally created by God (water, earth, air).  Why?  Because each of the plagues was a response to a "god" that stood in challenge to the Lord - He wanted everybody to know there is NO ONE like Him.  He creates ... He destroys.

This left the final plague (death of the firstborn) standing all by itself in stark contrast.  However, when we compare it to the full redemption found in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we realize it has to stand apart from the other plagues.  Again, why?  Because it was against the most important "god" Egypt had - Pharoah himself.  As God has stated "That no flesh should glory in his presence." (1 Corinthians 1:29) ... except that which represents Him - Jesus (John 1:14).

In conclusion to this session, God is basically saying:   I AM - end of story - forever.

I continue to look forward to where God is taking us in our journey - see you next week.  Blessings!!
