Gospel Glimpses

What parts of this story resembles that of the Gospel?

The Word of God

Repeatedly we see phrases such as, “the Lord said to Moses” (Ex. 7:14; 8:1, 16, 20; 9:1, 8, 13, 22; 10:1, 12, 21; 11:1), “as the Lord had said/spoken” (7:13, 22; 8:15, 19; 9:12, 35), “as the Lord commanded” (7:10, 20), and “Thus says the Lord” (7:17; 8:1, 20; 9:1, 13; 10:3; 11:4).

God’s word was how the world was created.

His word is the foundation by which we are saved.

Jesus, Son of God, is the word… in the flesh...

Gospel… word died in our place.

Conquering of Enemies

When the Egyptian magicians mimicked Aaron’s initial sign by turning a staff into a serpent, Aaron’s staff swallowed theirs (7:12).

by them God is powerfully conquering Pharaoh and Egypt in order to save his people. Likewise, the gospel of Jesus is not simply the good news that we are saved from the divine wrath that our sins deserve, but also that through Jesus God has inaugurated his kingdom and is conquering all our enemies,
