Exodus 6-15: Moses The Messenger Of God

God uses his messengers Moses and Aaron to inform the Pharaoh that if he did not free the people of Israel that god would release his wrath on the people of Egypt. The Pharaoh doesn’t believe Moses and Aaron and suffers many consequences, epidemics, and plagues. The Pharaoh never gives in into letting the people of Israel to leave. This reminds me when I sometimes fight with my sister over something for example the channel that we are going to watch in TV and no one wants to give in. So a third force in the bibles cases God and in my case my Mom intervenes and choose one side to win over the other. When we fight for it since no one wants to give in we may lose privileges and things. This can be exactly what happened in the bible but with different characters and different settings. The Pharaoh didn’t give in and many of his people, his cattle, and his land were affected. This seems also like a matter of a person’s fight over dignity. The Pharaoh always seems to surrender to the power of the Lord but he tricks Moses and the Israeli people and stops them from leaving Egypt. “And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.” Exodus 8, 32 This is an example of how us the human race always try to get advantage from people when they give in, but in this particular case things got worst because each time the plagues got stronger and the punishments harder. Finally the people of Israel are freed and are able to leave from Egypt. Perseverance will always win.
