Pastor Stephen Armstrong continues his detailed study of Exodus by examining the first six plagues, or judgments, that God brought upon Egypt. Moving through the first two cycles of three judgments, this sermon analyzes the specific pattern of each plague, from the river of blood to the terrifying boils.

Discover how each judgment was not a random catastrophe but a direct, surgical strike against the pagan gods of Egypt, systematically deconstructing their authority and exposing their impotence. Pastor Armstrong explores the fascinating confrontation between the power of God and the counterfeit miracles of Pharaoh's magicians, revealing the limits of Satan's power to imitate but never create or undo God's work.

This teaching also unveils the powerful prophetic layer within these events, showing how the plagues of Exodus serve as a foreshadowing, or "type," of the coming judgments in the Tribulation. Trace the progression of Pharaoh's hardened heart and see how God uses even this resistance to fully reveal His power and purpose to both Israel and the world.

This Bible study explores Exodus chapters 6 and 7, delving into one of the most significant revelations in Scripture. God reveals His personal, covenant-keeping name to Moses—"I AM"—contrasting it with how the patriarchs had known Him. You'll learn about God's seven powerful "I will" promises and how the entire Exodus story serves as a prophetic picture of end-times events.

The episode then moves to the dramatic confrontation in Pharaoh's court. When challenged to perform a miracle, Aaron's staff becomes a serpent, only to be matched by the counterfeit miracles of the court magicians, Jannes and Jambres. This event highlights a crucial theological principle: how to distinguish God's power from deceptive signs and why the Bible (expositional truth) must always be our standard over personal experience. Finally, the study sets the stage for the ten plagues, revealing their intricate structure and purpose as judgments not just against Pharaoh, but against the false gods of Egypt.

In this sermon covering the end of Exodus chapter 4 and all of chapter 5, Stephen Armstrong explores the challenging beginnings of Moses' mission to liberate Israel. The message delves into the profound theological concept of God's sovereignty, particularly His explicit plan to harden Pharaoh's heart to display His ultimate power. Armstrong also provides a detailed interpretation of the enigmatic "Bridegroom of Blood" incident, presenting it as a vital lesson on the necessity of a leader's personal obedience. As the narrative moves to the initial confrontation with Pharaoh, the sermon examines the immediate backlash—the Israelites' increased suffering, their blame of Moses, and Moses' own despairing lament to God. This powerful account is used to illustrate the true nature of serving God, where hardship is often part of the plan and faithfulness is more important than immediate, apparent success.
