Exodus 8
The plague of frog come upon the land at the command of the Lord 1-6. Magicians do the same 7. Pharaoh asks Moses to pray for the frogs to be removed, then I will let you go 8. God answers prayer specifically so Pharaoh will realize "There is no one like the Lord our God" 9-11. Note: We have the privilege of praying for others. God answers in ways that are a testimony to His uniqueness and greatness - so pray for one another ! 12-13. Pharaoh hardens his heart as God has said 15. God also hardens his heart so that his own choices are realized. Note: We have free will and God allows each of us to make choices. We receive the consequences that each choice brings. - Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation ? We each have a choice to make in regards to salvation (Romans 10:13).
Gnats are the next plague 16-19. It is interesting to note that the magicians could not do the same 18. They recognize the 'finger of God' but Pharaoh hardens his heart 19. Gnats are bad enough but they are followed by flies 20-32. God makes a distinction in that His people in Goshen, are not effected by the plague 22-23. Many times God graciously protects His people (see: Psalm 91:1-16). He does this to make Himself known 22b.  The flies bring destruction and Pharaoh agrees to let the people go, but once the plague is gone he hardens his heart.24-32 Note: How often do you or I cry out to  God for deliverance and He graciously gives relief only to forget the Lord and maybe harden our hearts against Him. It is a good reminder to me to pray continually 'Lord keep me yielded to You'.

Exodus 9
God brings a plague on the livestock of the Egyptians; the Israelites are not harmed 1-7. Notice the detail...the Lord set the time and Lord did it 5-6. It is sobering to think that the Lord sends such destruction (even today). Can one reason be that we might seek Him ? Next, God sends boils on both man and beast 8-10. The magicians could not stand before Moses as a result 11; yet Pharaoh's heart is hardened by the Lord 12. Note: Even in hardening Pharaoh's heart, God is showing His judgment (consider Proverbs 29:1) Note: God identifies with His people 'The LORD the God of the Hebrews... Let My People go' (1,13) What grace that God would want to identify with us. Does this not also call us to live in a manner worthy of bearing His name ? (Eph 4:1)
God sends hail that is very destructive ! He could have 'wiped them off the face of the earth' by now, but God's desire for Pharaoh and the Egyptians was for them to know Him the only true God 14. God gives fair warning 18-21. Those who fear the Lord will hear and others will ignore. Which are you ? (20-21) This was not a 'rare natural storm' but came from the Lord 23. In God's wrath He remembers mercy by not destroying all the crops 31-32. Pharaoh acknowledges his sin 27, yet he does not repent and turn from it; he persists in it by hardening his heart. His unbelief spread to his officials also 34-35.

Exodus 10
The actions of God are meant to be communicated to future generations that He may be known 1-2. The plague of locusts devoured all that was left 12-15. Pharaoh is moved but only to want things on his terms; this is unacceptable 3-11. Temporary regret leads to further hardening of his heart by the Lord 16-20. Note: The more one rejects the conviction of the Holy Spirit, the more the conscience grows dull and heart becomes hard so that one longer responds. This downward progression is clearly explained in the New Testament in Romans 1:18-32. As stated by Paul 'foolish hearts are darkened' Interestingly the next plague is darkness  21-23. A darkness so dark it could be felt and no one dare move. Yet there was light among God's people. Note: The same is true today. The world is in spiritual darkness however every Christian is to shine the light of Christ, who is the light of the world (Mt 5:14-16, Jn 8:12). Secondly:  In typology, Egypt represents the world, its systems, philosophy and people who are in bondage to sin and under 'the god of this world' (who is Satan).Only God can redeem and deliver from such a state. This is a picture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ seen in these OT events.

Exodus 11
The final plague was the death of the first born in Egypt 5. The Lord again makes a distinction between Israel and Egypt 7. Note: Through Jesus Christ we are adopted into the family of God and are numbered among the company of God's redeemed people (Gal 4:4-7, Eph 2:11-22, Rom 8:12-17)
A person may be redeemed by personal faith in Jesus Christ who 'paid the price' for the sin of the world that whosoever would call on the name of the Lord would be saved (1 Jn 2:2, Romans 10:9-13).

Exodus 12
The Passover was instituted by God Himself 1-20. The Lamb that was to be slain was to be without spot or defect. The shed blood was to be applied to the sides and top of the door frames of the house. When God's judgment came; HE passed over the homes that were 'under the blood'. The Israelites obey this and were spared 21-30. It is not difficult to see the parallel of Jesus sacrifice on the cross as the lamb of God. He took the punishment (judgment) for the sin of the world by shedding His blood on the cross. When a person believes on Christ and His sacrifice for their sins; His blood is 'applied' to that life. All who are 'under the blood' of Christ will be spared the future judgment of God. The Israelites leave Egypt on the exact day and time set by God Himself 40-41.

Exodus 13
The Israelites were to celebrate yearly to remember what the LORD did (3,8,14,16). All the first born sons are to be redeemed by an offering 11-16. Note: God leads both by day and night by the cloud and fire 17-22. Oh, that you and I would follow the lead of the Lord everyday and every night (ie. Always !)

Exodus 14
The Lord brings the Israelites through the Red Sea on 'dry ground' 16,21,22,29 & 15:19. The Egyptians in pursuit were drowned as the Lord brought the waters back to normal 26-30 & 15:4-5. This was a miracle that only the Lord could do. "The LORD saved Israel..." 30. Only the Lord can save. We cannot save ourselves. The people fear the Lord and trust in Him 31. This should be our response too.
Note: The Lord does all these things (to Pharaoh and his armies) to gain glory for Himself and to make Himself known  4,8,17-18.

Exodus 15
A Song of Praise 1-18. All the glory goes to the Lord. Miriam is a prophetess who sings the Lord's praise 20-21. After 3 days without water the people grumble (the first of many times) 22-24. How quickly we forget the provisions of God and the grace of God who does provide 25-26. God desires obedience from His people 26. God is also the The LORD who Heals 26b. Note: The original palm springs 27 :)))

Exodus 16
The Lord provides meat (quails) and bread (manna) for the people to eat. God gives instructions that are not difficult nor complex yet some refuse to listen 20,27-29. Note: How I am like them. I need a continual transformation of my heart by the grace and spirit of God. Secondly, the manna continued for 40 years till they entered the promised land. If manna is a basic provision, so to speak, what is the fullness of the land that flows with milk and honey (in spiritual terms) ?

Exodus 17
The Lord provides water from the rock which Moses was to strike 1-7. Note: The Lord stood before Moses by the rock 6. Does this imply that the Lord was stuck ? Can this picture Jesus who was 'struck' for our sins and is the rock of our salvation, and the one who gives us living waters (Jn 7:37-39; 1 Cor 10:4, Deut 32:15, Psalm 18:2, 62:2). The Amalekites are defeated in battle under Joshua 8-13. Moses hands are lifted up. This suggests both praise and prayer. Moses then built and altar to the Lord and named it 'The Lord Our Banner' 15. The people fought under the banner of the Lord and hands were lifted to His throne (Moses 11). The result was they were victorious. We too have victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:37, 1 Corinthians 15:57, 1 John 5:4)
