How I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord

 Exodus 10:1-19

you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord

So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, “This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will bring locusts into your country tomorrow. 

Pharaoh’s officials said to him, “How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the people go, so that they may worship the Lord their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt is ruined?”

Pharaoh said, “The Lord be with you—if I let you go, along with your women and children! Clearly you are bent on evil. No! Have only the men go and worship the Lord, since that’s what you have been asking for.” Then Moses and Aaron were driven out of Pharaoh’s presence.

So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts; they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.

The wind blows in a plague of locusts from Ethiopia which strip the country bare of greenstuff.

蝗災:法老的驕傲,因為他是太陽之子。驕傲影響一個國家。蝗蟲吃掉冰雹災後所剩下的東西。埃及人在冰雹後,可能以為還有東西吃,人不要天真無邪以為可以躲過神的審判。法老的臣僕都看出來了,法老因為驕傲而不願意悔改。

法老又在和神討價還價,表面上同意他們去,但是心中充滿怨恨,你們去吧,最好你們的神與你們同在,“因為有禍在你們眼前”,其實在挑戰神。例如你們去吧,最好不要有車禍。

Why?

The plagues of locusts happed never before and nor will there ever be again. For it is the work of the Lord.

All of these plagues is God let people know that I am the Lord.

Until now even Pharaoh's officials were surrender they asked Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go, for Egypt is ruined.

Egypt is an agricultural country, hail and locusts destroyed all they have in the economy and their food.

How?

God's word could not be refused or modified, God's word is beyond everything. All these plagues were poured on Egyptians, but the area of Isreal is protected by the Lord.

We are distinguished from the world. We are sons of the Lord.
