The Lord sends three more devastating plagues on Egypt. In the plague of hail with fire we see God’s mercy toward the Egyptians. Those Egyptians who fear the Lord heed the advance warning, pull their people and livestock indoors, and are protected from destruction. This is followed by a plague of voracious locusts who consume all remaining vegetation. Then the Lord brings three days of terrifying darkness upon Egyptians, while the Israelites remain in light. We conclude by exploring how each of these plagues can be seen to foreshadow even greater miracles performed by Jesus, the Prophet who would be "like Moses."
