Story of Moses Pt 2
God cursed Egypt with 10 plagues that soon would tear Egypt apart.
Moses and Aaron took their rods and turned the Nile’s water into blood.
But Rameses sorcerers were able to do the same, and his heart became hardened like crud.
Rameses was worse than a bunch of dirty dogs.
The next plague that God sent was a bunch of slimy frogs.
With a rod in Mosses’ and Aaron’s hand, they stretched it across the Nile.
And frogs covered all of Egypt’s land. Leaving Rameses without a smile.
The sorcerers could do the same with their secret arts.
Then Rameses summoned Moses and Aaron with these brief remarks:
“Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people, and I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to the LORD.” (Exodus 8:8)
But Rameses went back on his word, leaving anguish and a bitter discord.
The third plague wasn’t bats nor even rats; The third plague on Egypt was a bunch of gnats.
But the sorcerers could in no wise do the same, and to them this was odd.
And they told Rameses, “This is the finger of God.” (Exodus 8:19)
“Rameses heart was hard he wouldn’t listen just like the Lord had said.” (Exodus 8:19)
Rather than listening, he let his heart grow harder instead.
God was tired of Rameses having no complies.
The fourth plague on Egypt was a swarm of flies.
Just as like previous times, Rameses said he would comply.
But every time he promised he was telling a lie.
The fifth plague would leave farmers in shock.
For God had put a plague on Egypt’s livestock.
Even with all these plagues that God did show.
Rameses still wouldn’t let God’s people go.
Rameses still wasn’t persuaded, even as the livestock spoils.
The sixth plague God gave Egypt were some festering boils.
Each Egyptian and animal had suppurating sore.
And Rameses heart hardened it hardened even more.
Rameses still trying to prevail.
The seventh plague God sent was frozen hail.
Even with all the frozen ice.
King Rameses still wasn’t nice.
And the ice didn’t even make him impel.
For his stone-heart was harder than the frozen hail.
He wouldn’t listen to Aaron nor even Moses.
The eighth plague God sent was a swarm of locusts.
Still Rameses didn’t listen since he wasn’t at all bright.
The ninth plague God hid the sun, and for three days it was night.
Still Rameses heart was hardened and it soon would be torn.
The tenth plague God sent had killed Egypt’s firstborn.
As Rameses held his dead first born son.
He looked at Moses and he was done.
He felt so broken and so low.
And told Moses, take your people and go.
As Moses and his people left, Ramesses became mad.
For Moses and his people left with everything left he had.
Ramses with his chariots chased the Hebrew children down to the Red Sea.
But it wasn’t the end of them you see.
Moses had lifted up his rod.
And a marvelous thing had been done by God.
For God had parted the Red Sea.
And all the Hebrew children escaped free.
As they made it across the Red Sea.
God stored it back and the Egyptians couldn’t flee.
Rameses and his men were finally shut down.
And every single one of them did drown.
(Exodus Chapters 1-14)
