Éxodo 7–13 | Estudio de las Escrituras con Pepe Valle & Ariel Cuadra

Although Egypt was ravaged by plague after plague, Pharaoh still refused to release the Israelites. However, God continued to demonstrate His power and gave Pharaoh opportunities to accept “that I am the Lord” and “that there is no one like me in all the earth” (Exodus 7:5; 9:14). Meanwhile, Moses and the Israelites must have watched in awe as these manifestations of God’s power unfolded on their behalf. Certainly, these constant signs confirmed their faith in God and strengthened their willingness to follow God’s prophet. Then, after nine terrible plagues had failed to free the Israelites, the tenth plague, the death of the firstborn, including Pharaoh’s firstborn, was what finally ended the captivity; which seems fitting, since in every case of spiritual captivity there is only one way out. It is only the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Firstborn, the blood of the spotless Lamb, that will save us.
