About this episode
What does it take for someone to acknowledge the power of God? For Pharaoh, it seems nothing could break through his pride and defiance. In this episode, we continue the unfolding story of Egypt’s plagues. God’s fifth and sixth plagues expose the weakness of Egypt’s gods Apis and Isis, dismantling their claim to protect the nation. The devastating seventh and eighth plagues bring hail and locusts, further crippling Egypt’s economy and food supply. The ninth plague—the darkening of the sun—directly confronts Ra, Egypt’s supreme deity, leaving Pharaoh’s authority in ruins. Despite overwhelming evidence of God’s power, Pharaoh refuses to repent, illustrating the destructive force of pride. Learn how God’s supremacy over false gods offers hope for those who trust Him and a warning for those who resist.
