This plague was definitely different than the previous ones. God gave a forewarning as well as
instructions on how to protect themselves and their household. and the
believers were able to protect their livestock and move all that they had in
the field into a protective shelter before the plague struck.
This reminds me of the unbelievers in our world that will not listen to God’s truth. They, too,
are being told what is coming. May we all be bold in spreading God’s truth so
that no man may perish.
What is your role in spreading the Good News?
I have to address some questions that might come to mind.
Where did the Egyptians get these animals since just two plagues ago
they were all destroyed by God? If they took some livestock from the Israelites or purchased them from a source outside
of Egypt, the other question you might have would be about the time period that lapsed as God brought these plagues on the people of Egypt.
I don’t know. I have done a little research, and no one else knows either. One source
said the best guess is that the 10 plagues took place over a period not less
than 5 weeks, but not more than a year.
Some tried to narrow it down to a more specific period of time, but the
Bible isn’t specific. The main point God
is making here is that He separated His chosen people from those in Egypt, but
He also allowed those in Egypt who believed to be warned.
