WriteAngled from Abertawe, Cymru on November 28, 2009: You have quite a few errors in your descriptions of the Neteru (Egyptian deities). Thank u so much for this. It helps with my history project and I will site you as a source. I guess that you can pick apart my spelling but that does not make my point invalid nor does it make me ignorant it simply means spelling is not my strong point. What gods are prevalent in our society? Rodric Anthony from Peoria, Arizona on March 27, 2014: I enjoyed the hub though I was not sure about the Egyptian Gods. Please do not delude yourself -- it is not fiction just because you do not wish to believe it. The very dust that was referred to in the creation process of man is now used to plague men, as a reminder of his mortality and sin which both lead to death. umm can you say "eww"?) Exodus 7:1 Then the Almighty said to Moses, See, I have made you like a God to Pharoah, and your brother Aaron will be your Prophet. Your hub has been a been a blessing. Some church's misinterpret what really happened in Genesis 6, but what took place was unnatural which is why God had to destroy the Earth with the flood. So interesting. Mona Sabalones Gonzalez from Philippines on April 22, 2017: Very interesting and insightful article. Moses and Aaron approached Pharaoh with the same request, "Let my people go so that they may serve me", and pronounced the judgment of locusts if not heeded. They again testify, as does both the Old and New Testament alike that salvation, from beginning to end, is only accomplished through Jesus Christ, "the author and finisher of our faith." When God sent Moses to deliver the children of Israel from bondage in Egypt, He promised to show His wonders as confirmation of Moses’ authority (Exodus 3:20). I pray that no man perish, but all may come to repentence before that great and terrible day. thanks for posting that, i'm learning about Egypt in school and this is what we're talking about. A division is now felt between the Egyptians in the form of those "converted" to the Lord, as shown by their obedience and willingness to escape to the protection of their "houses." God was putting the Egyptian false gods to an open shame, displaying his majesty over all. What I have read so far supports what I have been getting from my Bible and the Thru-The-Bible Commentary series by J.Vernon McGee. While the Red Sea crossing path isn't recorded, some excavations have taken place at certain points and found artifacts such as chariot wheels dating from the time this would have taken place. Why waste time arguing over something you don't believe in? 10_Eqyptian_gods_10_Plagues.doc 1 of 7 Ten Egyptian Plagues For Ten Egyptian Gods and Goddesses The God of Israel is greater than all other Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. This is the second wave of destruction to follow the hail, and whatever crops were left in tact after that display, were now completely consumed by the swarms of locusts that were unleashed from the sky. so nice! That does show evidence that they were there. God help us, humble us to cry out to you that, YOU might SET US FREE from refusing/resisting you SO, THAT we might always and FOREVER SERVE YOU amen. When God performed these plagues, that was His exact purpose concerning showing the fallibility of the Egyptian Gods and their belief in magic. Still Pharaoh would not concede, even after this display of power from the Lord, or magnificent plague, he would not let them go. Thanks For Subscribing! Just as the "Ten Commandments" become symbolic of the fullness of the moral law of God, the ten ancient plagues of Egypt represent the fullness of God's expression of justice and judgments, upon those who refuse to repent. Like I said, I asked him and my teacher responded,"Actually, very recently there was an inscription uncovered (however he put it) and it read,"I have driven the Hebrews out." My kids know the story of Moses & the Exodus by heart, but this added a new dimension to their learning. Very interesting! Hope I am not rocking the boat too much. Of course they wouldn't record it. Talk amongst the people told of the God of Israel and how he protected and fought for his people. If the, god’s of Egypt (which enslave the people), could, be thought of as the idols that all unbelieving human, creatures Serve and are enslaved by. I enjoyed the hub though I was not sure about the Egyptian Gods. He was trying to show them that He was the true God. You want archaeological evidence of a people wandering in a desert (shifting sand and all), who would only remain in one location a few days at a time? This was a great read! In other words, the risk of a false positive is extremely high, since we seek to find a correspondence of ten plagues to thousands of candidates. How did I miss such a great hub? Thank you for all the hardwork and effort that you put into it and keep up the good work! Thanks for the hub, it was just what i needed. At the same time, he is denying the divine origin of those plagues. By hitting them in their food supply, the Lord displayed the possibility of eminent death if a change of heart did not occur. It makes sense to me that it would mean something to the Egyptians if their gods were being challenged even if it were nothing but ironic. by birth i am jain but now recently since one year i am Jesus Lover and follow Chritianity. It all fits together when you put the pieces together and its important to know what really happened in the past as it will happen again in the future. They simply say God will send "swarms". Thanks and keep putting up these sweet thingys that keep God in first place! When he did the dust became lice throughout all the land, on both people and beasts. Pharaoh is warned of the impending doom that will be faced if he does not listen to the Lord, and forget his own Egyptian gods and goddesses. It makes sense. Whereas, He can, of course. Yet, blindness continues many down a path which is full of contradictions and where they cannot find that for which they search. To hell with this bogus nonsense! I've been wondering for so long about plagues in Egypt. It makes sense to me that it would mean something to the Egyptians if their gods were being challenged even if it were nothing but ironic. This wonder definitely affected their life source. Unannounced the sixth Egyptian plague is given, for the first time, directly attacking the Egyptian people themselves. That's why I trust him, he can't stand fake things even mentioned as fact in the topic of history. I had never heard or thought about the Egyptian gods and goddesses in relation to the plauges. Ultimately, I think you and your other supporters handled it well. :). These deities were worshipped with offerings and prayers, in local and household shrines as well as in formal temples managed by priests. From that time period, we cannot find archaeological evidence of entire cities that existed for centuries that were built on firm fertile soil ideal for preserving artifacts. THere is no achaeological evidence that 2 million people wandered in the Sinai Desert for 40 years. His power is nothing in Gods eyes. God being just and merciful warned Pharaoh before sending out the last 3 plagues upon Egypt. At the command of the Lord to Moses, Aaron was told to stretch forth his rod and smite the dust of the earth. Moses, called of God to be the Deliverer. I really have never found the Bible contradicting itself. Loved it~. The Egyptians used their gods as reasoning to interpret the things that transpired around and to them. The Israelites endured 400 years of torture and oppression while enslaved in Egypt. This is not logic and his arguments of israelites arranging all the scenario of the plagues require much more faith than the biblical story. Plagued by flies, Pharaoh tried a new tactic and begins bargaining with the Lord, showing his desire to maintain power and authority over God. This was the last plague that required Aaron's involvement, as the next set of three plagues are issued by the word of Moses himself. The perfect example for this is Horus's mother. My former Bible teacher was explaining this to us, because in Exodus it says something like,"I will conquer Egypt, and all her gods" Something on that basis, and if you look the plagues were actually very connected to their gods. Unfortunately the 12 spies that were sent out to spy out the land, as recorded in the Book of Numbers, reported that the land were full of Nephilim (giants) and they said that they were "like grasshoppers" compared to them. Here was the situation: Moses flees Egypt because he murdered an Egyptian who was beating an Israelite. I've heard this comparison before, but I didn't want to take the time to find where I might have kept it written down, so I I searched online, and you were the first thing to come up. If you want to twist Egyptian mythology to fit your mythology, you should at least get your facts right. You're awesome! God informed the Pharaoh that the final 3 plagues would be more severe than all the others. Sekhmet as patroness of the bone-setters and surgeons is also connected with medicine. Heket is a goddess, not a god. In my research of the ten plagues, I also found an author who believs these plagues were used to dismantle the Egyptians idea of their gods being creator. Earlier egyptians believed that Horus's mother was Hathor. Thank you for sharing! Again warning is given before the enactment of the plague takes place. They are given strict instructions to follow so that they do not also feel the judgment of this last plague sent by the Lord. You didn't let them drag you into an argument, and only pointed out how flawed their arguments were. Since I've been a lover of science since my early childhood in the 1930's, I always have tried to view religious convictions in view of what science says. Like when there was three days of darkness, that would have been God showing that He, not Ra, has power over such things. I've been looking for this correlation for a long time. God appointed Moses to be the vessel in which God would free the Israelites and glorify himself through the supernatural display of the 10 plagues. For more information on Moses I would recommend some of Kahana's (Karaite Judaism) hubs. Certainly there is solid archaeological evidence for the events at the Red Sea crossing and Sinai. So many great comments on a great article! I was thinking just a few weeks ago about adressing this myself. Let's just put it like that. I happened on to hubpages.com because I was looking more information about the plagues. It helped a lot with my research on this time! God appointed Moses to be the vessel in which God would free the Israelites and glorify himself through the supernatural display of the 10 plagues. Being instructed by the Lord, Moses took ashes from the furnace of affliction, and threw them into the air. Ayo....sis I really enjoy the homework..and I've got 10percent...thanks......

The proper distraction will help one realize that indulging into pleasures will not fill the emptiness but recognizing TRUTH will satisify. I am homeschooled and I am studying ancient Egypt. makes me feel kind of safe knowing that the God of Israel is my Daddy and that I have eternal life with Him~ God bless~! Where did we receive the information which gives us life and the ability to communicate? Chris Neal from Fishers, IN on May 05, 2012: This is a great Hub! I'm not surprise that some people do not to believe this divine revelation; if everyone does, it means satan is no longer existing. Thanks guys at the website for giving me a 100 on a quiz! The possibility that the plagues corresponded to gods worshipped at the time made me start thinking: if He pronounced present day judgments in the form of plagues, what would they be?
