 God delivered over a million and a half people out of the land of Egypt and he miraculously took care of them for 40 years in the wilderness. “…Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place..”…” (EZEKIEL 13:3 KJV).

“…BY THE WORD of the Lord the heavens were made…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

“…BY THE WORD of the Lord the [Israelites were delivered out of the house of bondage] …” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

God delivered Israel by sending ten plagues upon Egypt and it destroyed their way of life.

The ten plagues, according to Exodus chapters 7-11, were the miraculous acts of God that delivered Israel out of the house of bondage in Egypt.

God, first, sent Moses to ask King Pharaoh to release his people from bondage, but the King of Egypt refused.

Moses and Aaron, empowered by the Holy Spirit, demonstrated their message was from God Almighty by swallowing up the rods of the Egyptian sorcerers and magicians. “…And the Lord said unto Moses …Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land …Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, so did they… And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods…” (Exodus 7:8-12 KJV).

King Pharaoh was not impressed and did not listen to Moses or Aaron. Therefore, God sent the first plague which turned the waters of the Nile River into blood. God said, “….In this, thou shalt know that I AM the Lord, behold, I WILL smite with the rod that is in mind hand upon the waters which are in the river and they shall be turned into blood...” (READ Exodus 7:14-25).

Again King Pharaoh was not impressed and did not listen. His OWN sorcerers and magicians turned other waters into blood and simply dug new wells. God sent a second plague which caused frogs to come out of the river. “… I will smite all thy borders with frogs: And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt…” (READ Exodus 8:1-15 NLT).

Even though King Pharaoh OWN sorcerers and magicians were able to make frogs too; it seemed to get his attention. He pretended he would let the Israelites go, but he did not. God sent a third plague which caused lice to come from the dust.

“…So the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Raise your staff and strike the ground. The dust will turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’” So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them. When Aaron raised his hand and struck the ground with his staff, gnats infested the entire land, covering the Egyptians and their animals. All the dust in the land of Egypt turned into gnats. Pharaoh’s magicians tried to do the same thing with their secret arts, but this time they failed. And the gnats covered everyone, people and animals alike. “This is the finger of God!” the magicians exclaimed to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart remained hard. He wouldn’t listen to them, just as the Lord had predicted…” (Exodus 8:16-19 NLT).

King Pharaoh “STILL” did not listen. Even though his OWN sorcerers and magicians could not duplicate the lice and claimed, themselves, this act was from God. God, however, had to send a fourth plague which caused flies to affect ALL of Egypt, ACCEPT the Israelites.

“… I will send swarms of flies on you, your officials, your people, and all the houses. The Egyptian homes will be filled with flies, and the ground will be covered with them. But this time I will spare the region of Goshen, where my people live. No flies will be found there. Then you will know that I am the Lord and that I am present even in the heart of your land.  I will make a clear distinction between my people and your people. This miraculous sign will happen tomorrow.’” And the Lord did just as he had said. A thick swarm of flies filled Pharaoh’s palace and the houses of his officials. The whole land of Egypt was thrown into chaos by the flies…” (READ Exodus 8:20-32 NLT).

King Pharaoh sorcerers and magicians had reached their limitations. He was impressed by this miraculous act of God and pretended he would let God’s people go, but again he refused. God sent a fifth plague which affected their livestock with pestilence.

“… The Lord did just as he had said. The next morning all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but the Israelites didn’t lose a single animal.  Pharaoh sent his officials to investigate, and they discovered that the Israelites had not lost a single animal! But even so, Pharaoh’s heart remained stubborn, and he still refused to let the people go…” (READ Exodus 9:1-7 NLT).

God sent a sixth plague which was boils. This was a skin disease that bought boils upon the Egyptians and the rest of the animals they had left. The sorcerers and magicians were infected too.

“…the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from a brick kiln, and have Moses toss it into the air while Pharaoh watches. The ashes will spread like fine dust over the whole land of Egypt, causing festering boils to break out on people and animals throughout the land.” So they took soot from a brick kiln and went and stood before Pharaoh. As Pharaoh watched, Moses threw the soot into the air, and boils broke out on people and animals alike. Even the magicians were unable to stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and all the Egyptians. But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and just as the Lord had predicted to Moses, Pharaoh refused to listen…” (READ Exodus 9:8-12 NLT).

God sent a seventh plague which caused hail and fire to fall from the sky. God’s people that stayed inside did not suffer from the storm nor did their animals. The Egyptian’s crops, some of their people, and whatever animals were left were ALL destroyed.

“…I will send a hailstorm more devastating than any in all the history of Egypt. ¹⁹ Quick! Order your livestock and servants to come in from the fields to find shelter. Any person or animal left outside will die when the hail falls.’” Some of Pharaoh’s officials were afraid because of what the Lord had said. They quickly brought their servants and livestock in from the fields. ²¹ But those who paid no attention to the word of the Lord left theirs out in the open … the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed toward the earth. The Lord sent a tremendous hailstorm against all the land of Egypt.  Never in all the history of Egypt had there been a storm like that, with such devastating hail and continuous lightning. It left all of Egypt in ruins. The hail struck down everything in the open field—people, animals, and plants alike. Even the trees were destroyed. The only place without hail was the region of Goshen, where the people of Israel lived …Pharaoh again became stubborn. Because his heart was hard, Pharaoh refused to let the people leave…” (READ Exodus 9:13-35 NLT).

God sent an eighth plague which caused grasshoppers to come and eat up whatever was left of their crops and trees. The Egyptian people were convinced by the plagues and began to plead with Pharaoh to let the Israelites.

“…I will bring a swarm of locusts on your country. They will cover the land so that you won’t be able to see the ground. They will devour what little is left of your crops after the hailstorm, including all the trees growing in the fields. They will overrun your palaces and the homes of your officials and all the houses in Egypt. Never in the history of Egypt have your ancestors seen a plague like this one!” the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart again, so he refused to let the people go.Pharaoh’s officials now came to Pharaoh and appealed to him. “How long will you let this man hold us hostage? Let the men go to worship the Lord their God! Don’t you realize that Egypt lies in ruins?” ….the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart again, so he refused to let the people go…” (READ Exodus 10:1-20 NLT).

God sent a ninth plague which caused Egypt to be covered with a darkness, for three days, so thick they could actually feel it. King Pharaoh requested for Moses to end the darkness and he would finally let the people go. However, he didn’t like the offer Moses made and refused again.

“…the land of Egypt will be covered with a darkness so thick you can feel it.” …a deep darkness covered the entire land of Egypt for three days. During all that time the people could not see each other, and no one moved. But there was light as usual where the people of Israel lived … But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart once more, and he would not let them go. …” (READ Exodus 10:21-29 NLT).

God sent a tenth and final plague which caused the death of the firstborn of both people and animals. ALL the firstborn of Egypt died on the same night, even King Pharaoh’s son died (READ Exodus 111-12:36). “…This is what the Lord says: At midnight tonight I will pass through the heart of Egypt. All the firstborn sons will die in every family in Egypt, from the oldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the oldest son of his lowliest servant girl who grinds the flour. Even the firstborn of all the livestock will die. Then a loud wail will rise throughout the land of Egypt, a wail like no one has heard before or will ever hear again. …” (Exodus 11:4-8 NLT).

The children of Israel that painted their door posts with the sacrificial blood of an animal did not lose their firstborn to death. “… But among the Israelites it will be so peaceful that not even a dog will bark. Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites…” (Exodus 11:4-8 NLT).

This created a FEAR in the hearts and minds of the Egyptians and they gave all they could to get the Israelites OUT of their land.

“… All the officials of Egypt will run to me and fall to the ground before me. ‘Please leave!’ they will beg. ‘Hurry! And take all your followers with you.’ Only then will I go!” …  The Lord caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So they stripped the Egyptians of their wealth!” (Exodus 11:4-8, 12:34 NLT).

“…BY THE WORD of the Lord the [Israel was delivered out of the house of bondage] …” (Psalms 33:6 NASB). “…I am the Lord, I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians...” (Exodus 6:6-7 KJV). “…The Lord bought  [Israel] out with a mighty hand and redeemed [them] out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of…Egypt. … (Deuteronomy 7:8 KJV).

King Pharaoh would NOT allow God’s people to go and refused to for a long time. But eventually, he himself, COMMANDED them to GO! “…Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron during the night. “Get out!” he ordered. “Leave my people—and take the rest of the Israelites with you! Go and worship the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you said, and be gone…” (Exodus 12:31-32 NLT).

God DELIVERED thousands that night. “…That night the people of Israel left Rameses and started for Succoth. There were about 600,000 men, plus all the women and children…” (Exodus 12:37 NLT).

The Israelites had been in slavery, in the land of Egypt, for over 430 years. “…The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for 430 years.  In fact, it was on the last day of the 430th year that all the Lord’s forces left the land. On this night the Lord kept his promise to bring his people out of the land of Egypt. So this night belongs to him, and it must be commemorated every year by all the Israelites, from generation to generation…” (Exodus 12:40-42 NLT).
“…I will rid you out of their bondage...” (Exodus 6:6-7 KJV). “…I will redeem you with a stretched out hand...” (Exodus 6:5:6-7 KJV). “…The Lord bought  [Israel] out with a mighty hand and redeemed [them] out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of…Egypt. … (Deuteronomy 7:8 KJV).

There are documents such as the Ipuwer Papyrus that give evidence of the ten plagues of Egypt for those who need more prove than that of the bible. This document also makes reference to Israel's departure with the treasures of Egypt.

Some Egyptian archaeologist make claims that the biblical account of Egypt and the biblical historical people are pretty accurate.

The bible is ENOUGH for God’s people and they do no need secular historians to verify God’s TRUTHS. “…BY THE WORD of the Lord the [Israelites were delivered out of the house of bondage] …” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

However, it is interesting that secular records exits and are remarkably paralleled with the biblical truths.

“…BY THE WORD of the Lord the [Israelites were delivered out of the house of bondage] …” (Psalms 33:6 NASB). “…All things  (including the DELIVERANCE of ISRAEL from bondage) came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB).

 “…Since the CREATION of the world God’s INVISIBLE QUALITIES—HIS ETERNAL POWER AND DIVINE NATURE—have been “CLEARLY SEEN”, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE (the GREAT DELIVERANCE of Israel from bondage)…” (Romans 1:20 NIV). “…your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians…” (Exodus 6:7 KJV). “…the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders…” (Deuteronomy 26:8 KJV).

Has God’ method of DELIVERING his people from BONDAGE changed? “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV). Is anything too hard for God to DELIVER you from? “…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). Is your DELIVERANCE impossible? “…The things which are impossible with men are possible with God…” (Luke 18:27 KJV).

 “…I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).

“…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by SIN  …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).

The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us …” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
“…BY THE WORD of the Lord  [YOU are delivered from ALL bondage] …” (Psalms 33:6 NASB).

“…The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me preach …. deliverance to the captives…” (John 4:16-21 KJV). “…if the Son (Jesus Christ, the indwelling Holy Spirit)…shall make you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed.” (John 8:36 KJV).
