Firstborn died Pharaoh: although considered the high priest of the gods, he had no power to save Egypt or to save his son from death
What was the message?
• To Pharaoh and the Egyptians?– These false Gods were supposed to protect Egypt.– This is a time of magic and mysticism, not science.– The Lord was more powerful than these.
• To the Israelites?– What if Moses and Pharaoh had just made a deal?– The Israelites needed to be convinced that this
was the true God
Why was Pharaoh so stubborn?
“There is no provision in the law of faith that miracles will create faith. Signs follow; they do not precede”Elder Bruce R McConkie
• The Israelites had at least a sliver of faith to build on, the Pharaoh did not
Notebook Ideas
• Have you ever experienced difficulties even when you were doing the right thing? What helped you through those trials?
• What are some of the signs from God that you can recognize in your own life? How have they strengthened your faith?
