Intro
God has sent Moses to talk to Pharoah about letting the children of Israel go out of Egypt.
Here, we have the account of the second plague: the plague of frogs.
Frogs in the Bible are associate with uncleaness and judgment.
Psalm 78:40–45 (KJV 1900)
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness,
And grieve him in the desert!
Yea, they turned back and tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
They remembered not his hand,
Nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
How he had wrought his signs in Egypt,
And his wonders in the field of Zoan:
And had turned their rivers into blood;
And their floods, that they could not drink.
He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them;
And frogs, which destroyed them.
Frogs are a type of sin, that shows us the seriousness, the stench, and the sentencing of sin.
Pharoah knew that the frogs (sin and judgment) was more than he could handle.
He asked the man of God to intreat God to take these frogs away.
HIS KNOWLEDGE WAS RIGHT, BUT HIS MOTIVES WERE WRONG.
HE ASKED TO SPEND ONE MORE NIGHT WITH THE FROGS.
(VS.10)
Severity of Frogs (vs.1-4)
The Sovereignty of the Word
(The Lord spake to Moses)
GOD spake the word.
not Aaron, not a servant, not Moses himself.
THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES
God’s Word is the only word.
The Stipulating of the Word
(Demand for Pharoah to let the people go)
The Significance of the Word
Failure to obey the Word of God will bring judgement and uncleaness on you.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, vfor that all have sinned:
Sensing of the Frogs (vs.3-4)
Everywhere the people went, they seen, touched, smelled, and maybe even tasted the frogs.
When you notice you’re unclean and the judgment of God is upon you, you’ll notice it.
If you’re saved, but living in sin, you’ll know it.
Recognition of Sin (David’s sin against Bathsheba)
Reaping of Sin (Jonah disobedient to God)
Jonah got numb to sin (asleep in the ship)
Jonah was in denial ( I fear the Lord, the God of Heaven)
Jonah got thrown off a ship
Jonah got swallowed up by a fish (chastisement)
in darkness
hadn’t talked to God since he willfully rebelled
in the belly of a fish (rotten food, acid, stench)
Sin never brings good things, sin always brings death.
Supplication about the Frogs (vs.8)
Pharoah ‘s magicians could bring frogs, too.
But they couldn’t take them away.
Pharoah realized that only GOD can take away the frogs.
The uncleaness and judgment.
ONLY GOD CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR UNCLEANNESS AND THE WRATH THAT’S ALREADY ABIDING ON YOU.
(8 = new beginnings)
Sorrow of Sin
Sin should bring shame, suffering, and sorrow.
Simplicity of Salvation
Shrugging Off of the Frogs (vs.10)
Even though Pharoah knew the only way to escape the judgment of God and to get clean was just simply asking God to take it away, he didn’t want the frogs to be gone now.
HE SAID TOMORROW.
PHARAOH WASN’T WILLING TO SURRENDER NOW.
HE WANTED JUST ONE MORE NIGHT WITH THE FROGS.
HE WANTED ONE MORE NIGHT WITH THE UNCLEANNESS AND THE JUDGMENT OF GOD ON EGYPT.
He wanted one more night in the putridness and punishment that could go away right then.
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.
For what is your life?
hIt is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Why wait to get saved when you can get saved now?
One more night of sin is not worth waking up in hell.
We’ve only got a little time left on this earth.
Are you going to use it for God or for the world?
Don’t make excuses saying, I’ll do it tomorrow.
Just one more night of living for myself.
DON’T WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW BECAUSE TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME.
Slaying of the Frogs (vs.12-14)
The Lord wiped out all the uncleaness and judgment on the people and the land that they deserved.
GOD CAN WIPE YOUR SLATE CLEAN.
HE CAN KILL THE FROGS!
Seriousness of Being Fake (vs.14-15)
Sin stinks.
It never brings anything productive.
But when Pharoah saw that God cleaned up and they escaped the judgment of God for the moment, he hardened his heart and disobeyed the Word of God again, and again, and again.
Making his heart harder, and harder, and harder.
You can fool me, you can fool your pastor, your family, your friends, BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL GOD.
When Pharoah saw there was respite (relief) he could’ve cared less about what God wanted.
If you’re coming to church just to get your family off your back, you’ve got worse things coming.
If you’re faking being a Christian, if you’re faking being saved and you like spending time with the frogs, you need to get cleaned up and get born again!
Conclusion
God sent these plagues to shew the Egyptians that He’s more powerful than their false gods.
This plague was sent to make fun of the Egyptian goddess, Heqet.
Her name means “sceptre” or “ruler.”
She was known as the goddess of childbirth and fertility and was depicted as a frog, or a woman with the head of a frog.
According to tradition, she was the wife of Khnum, a creator god.
Khnum created each person on his potters wheel, and Heqet breathed life into them before they were planted in their mother’s womb.
She was also involved in the resurrection of the deceased.
It’s said that she assisted pharoahs as they made their way to the eternal stars sky, All frog dietys were believed to have an important role in the formation and creation of the world.
God wanted to show Pharoah some things.
God gives life.
