Ep 79. Exodus 9-10: Why Did God Send Hail, Locusts, and Darkness?
<p>Exodus 9–10 comes to life as we walk through the last triad of plagues—hail, locusts, and a “darkness to be felt.” We trace the literary pattern of the plagues, unpack “let my people go” as a covenant/legal release, and explore the Hebrew behind “fire inside the hail.” You’ll see how each plague dismantles Egypt’s gods, why Pharaoh’s “I have sinned” falls short of repentance, and how God’s mercy still threads through judgment. We also compare a modern locust outbreak to grasp the scale. Stick around to the end for the chilling portrait of palpable darkness.
