Daily Thought Exodus 10:21-29 — Total Darkness

Posted by admin on March 10, 2010

This ninth plague brings on darkness so thick that it can be felt. I am not sure what total darkness that can be felt feels like but I also do not think I ever want to know. Perhaps it is like what it will be for the un-regenerate in hell where there will be darkness and gnashing of teeth. Maybe the feeling is on the inside of a person when they are in total darkness and their heart feels like it will beat right out of your chest. Regardless it will be dark—so dark no Egyptian is even moving around.

The Israelites get light for their dwelling places, again letting every one know that He is God.

Pharaoh tries to get Moses and the people to go and worship their God but to leave the livestock behind. Moses lets Pharaoh know that they will need all their livestock and Pharaoh again says no. He also lets Moses know that he never wants to see his face again on punishment of death.
