THE PLAGUE OF DEATH TO THE FIRSTBORN

PROCLAMATION

“And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.”  Exodus 11:5 (KJV)

 

EXPLANATION

These are the words of God which were revealed to and written by Moses under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  After the nine plagues which The Lord God allowed Moses to bring upon Egypt, Pharaoh refused to let the people of God leave Egypt.  Moses told Pharaoh that the tenth and final plague would be the death of the firstborn son of all of Egypt, including Pharaoh, his officers, his servants, his soldiers, and even his cattle. (Exodus 11:5)  However, even after having witnessed the nine other plagues, Pharaoh still would not listen to the warning which Moses gave him. (Exodus 11:9-10) 

 

APPLICATION

There are times when we are warned that our course will result in a negative outcome, but we ignore the warning and proceed on as we had planned.  The result of which is usually disaster on our part that could have been avoided.  The Word of God tells us the consequences of our sin and disbelief but some of us insist on continuing on our sinful course.  Those whose name is not written in The Lamb’s Book of Life will spend eternity suffering in hell. (Revelation 20:15)  Heed the warning while you still have time.  Repent, those of you who do not believe, the end is near and the kingdom of God is at hand. (Mark 1:15)
