The Ten Plaques
Plaque 1 – Blood
There was blood everywhere in Egypt, even in the
wooden buckets and stone jars that stood inside the
houses. There was nothing to drink, nothing to wash
with (and the Egyptians prided themselves on their
cleanliness), nothing to clean their white linen
garments. The fish died, and the air near the river was
filled with a terrible stench. Water, that had given
them life, now brought them death instead. It
polluted, it stank, and the power of death was over it.
Ordered creation - the way things should have been,
the way they always had been - now gave way to chaos.
EXODUS 7:26




Plaque #2- Frogs
Frogs were everywhere - in the water, on the land,
inside the houses - hopping, noisy, getting
squashed underfoot. They were piled into heaps,
heap after heap. They made the land stink.
Not only the water, but now the land itself was
completely polluted. They swarmed - a sign of
creation out of balance. The Egyptian frog
goddess Heqet, who assisted women in childbirth,
was running amok.
Even when the plague stopped, the stench
remained.
EXODUS 8:12


Plaque #3-Lice
Lice and mosquitoes suck the blood of humans and
animals and cause a terrible itch. They make people sick
and unclean - in ancient Egypt, they could even have been
sand flies, carriers of dengue fever, or anopheles
mosquitoes, transmitters of malaria.
The insects of this plague entered the eyes, ears and
noses of the field workers. Egypt became a land where
the ground was not covered anymore with gravel and
sand, but with lice, which like dust blew all over the
place, tormenting humans and animals with a maddening
itch. Again, creation was off balance.
EXODUS 8:16
Plague #4 consists of
 dense swarms of flies.
 They were everywhere, harassing people and
animals alike. The Hebrew word in the Bible
text refers to biting flies - so they were not
just a pest, but a source of pain and infection
as well. With them they brought illness,
disease and death.
 The plague of flies showed that YHWH
possesses the power to wreak havoc and
death

EXODUS 9:1-7




Plaque #5- Epidemic
The fifth plague brought the deaths
of Egyptian domestic animals: horses, donkeys,
cows, sheep and goats. The animals were struck by
a fatal epidemic.
The scene is one of utter horror, as suffering
animals collapse and die. The people too are
indirectly affected, by the loss of their livestock this plague takes their source of income from work
animals - horses and donkeys, and their sources of
food - cows, sheep and goats.
EXODUS 9:8-12

Plaque # 6 - Boils
So far, the plagues have attacked
animals and things. Now they
attack the bodies of the Egyptians themselves.
Stinging, suppurating infections cover the whole
body and cause swellings which become itching and
painful boils. There is not a place in Egypt where
living creatures are safe from the plague of boils.
Several illnesses have been suggested: burning
sores, smallpox, elephantiasis, leprosy, festering
boils. This skin disease, whatever it was, covered
the entire body.
EXODUS 9:17-35

Plaque # 7 – Hail
When Moses stretched his staff
towards heaven, the rumble of thunder was heard.
Hail, rain and zigzags of lightning filled the sky.
YHWH showed that he ruled the world, and that he
could use meteorological phenomena as weapons.
Hail storms are very rare in Egypt. For this reason the
thunder and hail made a deep impression on Pharaoh.
They made a deep impression on the land as well,
destroying crops all over the country. The hammering
hail was pay-back for the heavy load the Hebrews had
carried in Egypt.
EXODUS 10:1-20

Plaque #8 – Locusts
Locusts can be a real catastrophe in North Africa and the Near
East. They swarm over crops, settle on the greenery, and then
devour every single leaf. There is no way of stopping them,
since their swarms number in the billions of insects.
Now they brought death and destruction to what was left
of Egypt's vegetation. The land became unfit for human
habitation.
Locusts are often mentioned in the Bible as agents of divine
judgment, often appearing in association with such things as
mildew, caterpillars, pestilence, drought and enemies. In
wartime, an invading army would be described as a plague of
destructive locusts,
destroying everything in its path.
EXODUS 10:21-23

Plague # 9
A darkness lasting three days covered the land of
Egypt, rendering it completely uninhabitable. The
darkness was so thick that people had to feel their
way around. This was an escalation in terror.
Modern commentators suggest that the darkness was
caused by a suffocating sandstorm, like the ones that
blow in northern Africa from March to May, filling
the air, darkening the sun and lasting two or three
days. It was particularly significant in ancient Egypt,
since one of the main gods was Ra, the sun.
Darkness is associated with pre-creation chaos, evil,
sin, and ignorance. God is associated with light - God's
first creative act was to bring light out of darkness.
DEATH OF THE FIRSTBORN – PASSOVER BEGINS






The final plague brings a terrible
catastrophe to Egypt: at the hour of
midnight, all the firstborn, of humans
and animals, die. Their social rank,
wealth or personalities make no
difference. They are all struck down, from Pharaoh's
own firstborn to the lowliest slave in the land.
The firstborn of a family symbolized the future of the
clan - so the death of Egypt's firstborn robbed it of its
future. The firstborn was legally privileged and the most
highly regarded among the children of the family, and
most deeply mourned if it died. (Exodus 12:29-32)
THESE PLAQUES WILL BE REPEATED IN THE
LAST DAY TRIBULATION AS THE WRATH OF
YHWH IS POURED OUT
He will remove the idols of the world one
more time!

last days they will be world wide!

Exo 12:1 Adonai spoke to Moshe and Aharon in the land of Egypt; he
said,
Exo 12:2 "You are to begin your calendar with this month; it will be the
first month of the year for you.
Exo 12:3 Speak to all the assembly of Isra'el and say, 'On the tenth day
of this month, each man is to take a lamb or kid for his family, one per
household —
Exo 12:4 except that if the household is too small for a whole lamb or kid,
then he and his next-door neighbor should share one, dividing it in
proportion to the number of people eating it.
Exo 12:5 Your animal must be without defect, a male in its first year,
and you may choose it from either the sheep or the goats.
Exo 12:6 " 'You are to keep it until the fourteenth day of the month, and
then the entire assembly of the community of Isra'el will slaughter it
at dusk.
Exo 12:7 They are to take some of the blood and smear it on the two
sides and top of the door-frame at the entrance of the house in which
they eat it.

Exo 12:8 That night, they are to eat the meat, roasted in the
fire; they are to eat it with matzah and maror.
Exo 12:9 Don't eat it raw or boiled, but, with its head, the lower
parts of its legs and its inneroasted in the firer organs.
Exo 12:10 Let nothing of it remain till morning; if any of it does
remain, burn it up completely.
Exo 12:11 " 'Here is how you are to eat it: with your belt
fastened, your shoes on your feet and your staff in your hand;
and you are to eat it hurriedly. It is Adonai's Pesach [Passover].
Exo 12:12 For that night, I will pass through the land of Egypt
and kill all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both men and
animals; and I will execute judgment against all the gods of
Egypt; I am Adonai.
Exo 12:13 The blood will serve you as a sign marking the houses
where you are; when I see the blood, I will pass over [Hebrew:
pasach] you — when I strike the land of Egypt, the death blow will not
strike you.

Exo 12:14 " 'This will be a day for you to remember and celebrate
as a festival to Adonai; from generation to generation you are to
celebrate it by a perpetual regulation.
Exo 12:15 " 'For seven days you are to eat matzah - on the first
day remove the leaven from your houses. For whoever eats hametz
[leavened bread] from the first to the seventh day is to be cut off
from Isra'el.

Exo 12:16 On the first and seventh days, you are to have an assembly
set aside for God. On these days no work is to be done, except what each
must do to prepare his food; you may do only that.
Exo 12:17 You are to observe the festival of matzah, for on this very day
I brought your divisions out of the land of Egypt. Therefore, you are to
observe this day from generation to generation by a perpetual regulation.
Exo 12:18 From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month
until the evening of the twenty-first day, you are to eat matzah.
Exo 12:19 During those seven days, no leaven is to be found in your
houses. Whoever eats food with hametz in it is to be cut off from the
community of Isra'el — it doesn't matter whether he is a foreigner or a
citizen of the land.
Exo 12:20 Eat nothing with hametz in it. Wherever you live, eat matzah.' "
Exo 12:21 Then Moshe called for all the leaders of Isra'el and said, "Select
and take lambs for your families, and slaughter the Pesach lamb.
Exo 12:22 Take a bunch of hyssop leaves and dip it in the blood which is in
the basin, and smear it on the two sides and top of the door-frame. Then,
none of you is to go out the door of his house until morning.
Exo 12:23 For Adonai will pass through to kill the Egyptians; but when he
sees the blood on the top and on the two sides, Adonai will pass over the
door and will not allow the Slaughterer to enter your houses and kill you.
Exo 12:24 You are to observe this as a law, you and your descendants
forever.

Exo 12:25 "When you come to the land which Adonai will give
you, as he has promised, you are to observe this ceremony.
Exo 12:26 When your children ask you, 'What do you mean by
this ceremony?'
Exo 12:27 say, 'It is the sacrifice of Adonai's Pesach
[Passover], because [Adonai] passed over the houses of the
people of Isra'el in Egypt, when he killed the Egyptians but
spared our houses.' " The people of Isra'el bowed their heads
and worshipped.
Exo 12:28 Then the people of Isra'el went and did as Adonai
had ordered Moshe and Aharon — that is what they did.
Exo 12:29 At midnight Adonai killed all the firstborn in the
land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh sitting on his
throne to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, and all
the firstborn of livestock.
Exo 12:30 Pharaoh got up in the night, he, all his servants and
all the Egyptians; and there was horrendous wailing in Egypt;
for there wasn't a single house without someone dead in it.

Exo 12:31 He summoned Moshe and Aharon by night and said, "Up and leave
my people, both you and the people of Isra'el; and go, serve Adonai as you
said.
Exo 12:32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you said; and get out of
here! But bless me, too."
Exo 12:33 The Egyptians pressed to send the people out of the land quickly,
because they said, "Otherwise we'll all be dead!"
Exo 12:34 The people took their dough before it had become leavened and
wrapped their kneading bowls in their clothes on their shoulders.
Exo 12:35 The people of Isra'el had done what Moshe had said — they had
asked the Egyptians to give them silver and gold jewelry and clothing;
Exo 12:36 and Adonai had made the Egyptians so favorably disposed toward
the people that they had let them have whatever they requested. Thus they
plundered the Egyptians.
Exo 12:37 The people of Isra'el traveled from Ra`amses to Sukkot, some
six hundred thousand men on foot, not counting children.
Exo 12:38 A mixed crowd also went up with them, as well as livestock in
large numbers, both flocks and herds.
Exo 12:39 They baked matzah loaves from the dough they had brought out
of Egypt, since it was unleavened; because they had been driven out of Egypt
without time to prepare supplies for themselves.
Exo 12:40 The time the people of Isra'el lived in Egypt was 430 years.
Exo 12:41 At the end of 430 years to the day, all the divisions of Adonai
left the land of Egypt.

Exo 12:42 This was a night when Adonai kept vigil to bring them out of the
land of Egypt, and this same night continues to be a night when Adonai keeps
vigil for all the people of Isra'el through all their generations.
Exo 12:43 Adonai said to Moshe and Aharon, "This is the regulation for the
Pesach lamb: no foreigner is to eat it.
Exo 12:44 But if anyone has a slave he bought for money, when you have
circumcised him, he may eat it.
Exo 12:45 Neither a traveler nor a hired servant may eat it.
Exo 12:46 It is to be eaten in one house. You are not to take any of the
meat outside the house, and you are not to break any of its bones.
Exo 12:47 The whole community of Isra'el is to keep it.
Exo 12:48 If a foreigner staying with you wants to observe Adonai's Pesach,
all his males must be circumcised. Then he may take part and observe it; he
will be like a citizen of the land. But no uncircumcised person is to eat it.
Exo 12:49 The same teaching is to apply equally to the citizen and to the
foreigner living among you."
Exo 12:50 All the people of Isra'el did just as Adonai had ordered Moshe
and Aharon.
Exo 12:51 On that very day, Adonai brought the people of Isra'el out of
the land of Egypt by their divisions.
YESHUA IN THE PASSOVER- FEASTING FOR
FREEDOM
1. The Passover was the beggining of months- Nisan
was now to be the beginning of the Spring feasts.

When you accept Yeshua as your Messiah you have
begun a new life in Him and a new beginning
2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is united with the
Messiah, he is a new creation — the old has
passed; look, what has come is fresh and new!
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
2. The lamb was hidden for four days
 Yeshua was hid for 4000 years…The 4 days
that the lamb was hidden is prophetic of the
people’s expectations that the Messiah would
come 4000 years from the creation of Adam
as part of the 7000 year plan of G-d to
redeem both men and the earth back to how
things were in the Garden of Eden. (Mishnah,
San Hedrin 97-98)
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
3. The lamb was to be without blemish
Yeshua was without blemish in everyway.
 1Pe 1:18 You should be aware that the
ransom paid to free you from the worthless
way of life which your fathers passed on to
you did not consist of anything perishable like
silver or gold;
 1Pe 1:19 on the contrary, it was the costly
bloody sacrificial death of the Messiah, as of
a lamb without defect or spot.
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
4. The lamb was of the first year
 Yeshua was the first born of Miryam and
the first born of G-d spiritually
 Rom 8:29 because those whom he knew in
advance, he also determined in advance
would be conformed to the pattern of his
Son, so that he might be the firstborn
among many brothers;
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
5. It is a male
Because Adam the first male sinned, so a male, Yeshua
must die to atone for that sin
 Rom 5:17 For if, because of the offense of one man,
death ruled through that one man; how much more will
those receiving the overflowing grace, that is, the gift
of being considered righteous, rule in life through the
one man Yeshua the Messiah!
 Rom 5:18 In other words, just as it was through one
offense that all people came under condemnation, so
also it is through one righteous act that all people
come to be considered righteous.
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
6. It is a lamb for a house
There is a progressive revelation of the
Lamb in the Bible
A lamb for a house – Exodus 12:3-4
A lamb for a nation – John 11:49-52
A lamb for the World – John 1:29
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
7. A Passover (Pesach) lamb was to be killed
between the evenings
The phrase “between the evening” refers to
the period of the day that goes form noon
to 6:00 pm, which is exactly 3:00 pm.
When Yeshua died on the execution
stake/cross – Mattiyahu 27:45-50
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
8. The whole assembly shall kill it
Every person who has ever lived on planet Earth and sinned is
guilty of Killing Yeshua because he died for all sinners.
 Rom 3:23 since all have sinned and come short of earning
God's praise.
 Rom 3:24 By God's grace, without earning it, all are granted
the status of being considered righteous before him, through
the act redeeming us from our enslavement to sin that was
accomplished by the Messiah Yeshua.
 Rom 3:25 God put Yeshua forward as the kapparah for sin
through his faithfulness in respect to his bloody sacrificial
death. This vindicated God's righteousness; because, in his
forbearance, he had passed over [with neither punishment nor
remission] the sins people had committed in the past;
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
9. The blood must be applied to the door
The only way into the house of G-d is
through the shed blood of the Messiah
Yeshua, who is the Door
Joh 14:6 Yeshua said, "I AM the Way —
and the Truth and the Life; no one
comes to the Father except through me.
FEASTING FOR FREEDOM
10.
The body of the lamb must be eaten
a. It must be eaten the same night
Yeshua was crucified, suffered and died the same night
b. It must be eaten with unleaven bread
Leaven speaks of sin, Unleaven without sin
c. It must be eaten with bitter herbs
Bitterness of our live before He redeemed us.
d. The lamb must be roasted in fire

what I am saying and trusts the One who sent me has
eternal life — that is, he will not come up for judgment
but has already crossed over from death to life!
Joh 5:25 Yes, indeed! I tell you that there is coming a
time — in fact, it's already here — when the dead will
hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen

 Num 15:38 "Speak to the people of Isra'el, instructing them
to make, through all their generations, tzitziyot on the
corners of their garments, and to put with the tzitzit on each
corner a blue thread.
 Num 15:39 It is to be a tzitzit for you to look at and thereby
remember all of Adonai's mitzvot and obey them, so that you
won't go around wherever your own heart and eyes lead you to
prostitute yourselves;

mitzvot and be holy for your God.

Name – Jerusalem
2Ki 21:4 He erected altars in the house of
Adonai, about which Adonai had said, "In
