The term plague is, by definition, something which is always compared to the plagues of Egypt. We hear people speaking of disasters of “biblical proportion,” because for thousands of years now, the ten plagues of Egypt have been benchmarks or standards against which all other disasters have been measured.
There are three specific things I want us to observe about the plagues this morning. First they were miraculous, secondly they were meaningful, that is, God had a specific purpose in each plague, and finally, they were merciful, even in His judgment against Pharaoh, we’ll see God’s mercy displayed.
