#85 - Creation in Reverse—the Plagues (Ex. 7-10)

In our fourth episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 7-10—the highest amount of chapters we’ve ever covered in a single Radically Normal episode!

 

Today’s conversation:

• The significance of “the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord”
• A different, helpful view of miracles in Exodus & the Gospels
• Creation & de-creation themes in Exodus & Revelation
• Patterns amongst the plagues
• God’s people set apart from Egypt
• The tables are turned: the Nile is now a problem for the Egyptians
• Connections between the Egyptians gods & the plagues
• Pharaoh’s false repentance—& how we’re the same with sin
• What does it mean that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart? (also see episode #35 for a deep dive on God’s sovereignty & predestination!)
• The importance of 9:14-16—what is the ultimate purpose of the plagues?
• The past helps God’s people walk in the present
• The breadth of the plagues
• Connections between the 9th plague & the Crucifixion
