Exodus 7:8–10:29, “Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods?”

The plagues were not random punishments but deliberate judgments revealing Yahweh’s supremacy over Egypt’s gods and over all spiritual powers. The plagues expose false order and false mercy by unraveling Egypt’s Ma’at and showing that only Yahweh brings true order, light, and life. Through the chaos He sends, God displays His grace—holding creation together by His word; His mercy—sparing His people not because they deserve it but because He is compassionate; and His unrivaled power—defeating every rival deity, culminating in the darkness that shames Amon-Ra and anticipates the death and resurrection of Jesus, the true Light of the world. Therefore, like Psalm 105 urges, we respond by thanking, praising, seeking, and remembering the Lord for His mighty works and saving grace.
