Tag: Exodus 9

January 30, read the Bible in a year in PowerPoint; commented.

John 19:16b-42. I took the liberty to incorporate all the “seven words of Christ on the cross.” This requires to take passages from the Gospel of Luke, as well as from the Gospel pf Matthew or Mark. It helped me a lot to get the time-order of events as well as the completeness of Christ substitutionary sacrifice on the Cross. It is finished!

In Exodus 9 there are three more plagues, the plague of livestock, the plague of boils and the plague of hail. In the fifth and seventh plague Pharaoh’s heart remained hard, but for the sixth plague the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart.

In most predominately Christian nations Good Friday is a holiday, second only to Easter Sunday, but in U.S.A. only Christmas Day and Easter Sunday are religious holidays. In Sweden Good Friday is called Long Friday because in Church they read the whole Litany, and because of the length of the reading the Congregation is asked to sit down during the reading. All other readings from Scripture is supposed to be listened to standing up in reverence. Then as children we were not allowed to play or have any kind of fun. This was the most solemn day of the year.

The commemoration of the death of Christ on Friday was instituted by the Catholic Church o fit the readings for the Holy week. In the Gospel of John it says it was the day of preparation for the “special Sabbath” when Jesus was buried. In the Gospel of Matthew the resurrection occurred “Opse de Sabbaton” or after the Sabbaths. This means it was a double Sabbath, which happens every seventh year on average. This was the case in A.D.30 so we know when it happened exactly, but we stick to the tradition of having it close to the Jewish Passover.

January 28, read through the Holy Bible in a year in Power-point, with comments.

The three chapters for today’s reading are the wise men from Matthew and six plagues from Exodus.

January 28: Matthew 2, Exodus 8, Exodus 9 (click on the chapter to begin reading)

In Matthew 2 we get to meet with the Magi (probably about 15 of them including servants) who came to Jerusalem to ask about the King of the Jews. This worried King Herod and all Jerusalem, and Herod asked the Scribes and the learned men where he was to be born. They answered “In Bethlehem of Judea”, but were otherwise remarkably uninterested. The wise men went to Jesus (he is by now at least a few months old), but did not report back to Herod, instead they returned another way. Meanwhile Joseph wass told to get out of there and flee to Egypt. Herod was furious that he had been had and murdered all male children under the age of 2 in and around Bethlehem. Herod died soon after, and the little family went back to Nazareth. (As a side note, in the Middle East Christians are nowadays called Nazarenes.)

Exodus 8 is very interesting. It tells of three more plagues of Egypt, the plague of frogs, the plague of gnats and the plague of flies. The Egyptian magicians had no trouble duplicating elements of the plague of frogs, but when it came to the plague of gnats they threw up their hands and said “This is the finger of God”. From then on they could not duplicate any of the plagues.

In Exodus 9 there are three more plagues, the plague of livestock, the plague of boils and the plague of hail. But Pharaoh’s heart remained hard.
