The Plagues Were Against The gods Of Egypt Part 19

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.

 Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’ (Deut. 18:17-18).

In this study I continue in chapter 9 verse 8. 

8   Ashes of the furnace = The next plague attacked the persons of the Egyptians, and it appeared in the form of ulcerous eruptions upon the skin and flesh (Lev. 13:20; 2 Kings 20:7; Job 2:7).

9   Shall be a boil =This word is generally expounded, an inflammatory swelling, a burning boil; one of the most poignant afflictions, not immediately mortal, that can well affect the surface of the human body.

10  and they took = ‘lâqach’ ‘law-kakh'’ ‘lamed-quph-chet’ ‘aleph-tav’

lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bind

quph = (sun on the horizon) condense, circle, time

Chet = (tent wall) outside, divide, half

Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader

Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross

They took the ashes, as commanded by Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah. They DID NOT do this on their own. They followed the commandment of Yahweh.

11   And the magicians could not stand before Moses, because of the boils = Which were on them as on others, and which with all their art and skill they could not keep off

12   hardened = ‘châzaq’ ‘khaw-zak'’ ‘chet-zayin-quph’ ‘Aleph-Tav’

Chet = (tent wall) outside, divide, half

zayin = (mattack) food, cut, nourish

quph = (sun on the horizon) condense, circle, time

Aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leader

Tav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and cross

This Hebrew word means to Seize: To grab hold tightly. To refrain or support by grabbing hold. But by adding the ‘eth’ we see that the Spirit of Yahweh/Yahshua is the one that is actually seizing Pharaoh’s heart. Why is Yahweh doing this? I believe so that all of the Egyptian deities would be defeated by the miracles perform by Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah!

I read from Thomas Horn book “The Gods”

I talk about Sekhmet. "The Powerful One." Egyptian lioness goddess, daughter of Ra. In Memphis she formed part of the Memphite triad together with Ptah as her consort and Nefertum (otherwise the son of Bastet) as her son. Depicted as a lioness or in a human form with the head of a lioness. She was generally shown crowned by the solar disk, [note the serpent surrounding the disc], holding the Ankh (life) symbol or a scepter in the shape of a papyrus reed. In Thebes Sekhmet came to be combined with Mut, the consort of the Theban sun god Amun. She had a warlike aspect and was said to breathe fire at the enemies of the Pharaoh. Like the goddess Hathor, Sekhmet could become the 'eye of Ra,' an agent of the sun god's punishment. She was believed to be the bearer of plague and pestilence, but in a more benign aspect she was called upon in spells and amulets to ward of disease.

I read from Albert Mackey’s Dictionary and Albert Pike’s Morals and Dogma.
