The first 7 plagues are released on Egypt: blood, frogs, gnats, flies, livestock, boils, and hail.
The part of the story that always fascinated me was that there were some plagues that the court magicians were able to duplicate. The Pharaohs magicians were able to turn water into blood and flood a space with frogs. However, the magicians were not able to duplicate all of God’s miracles. The court magicians failed with the gnats and recognized that this was indeed the work of God. Once God got to the boils, the magicians were powerless as they themselves were covered with boils.
My question has always been, were the magicians able to perform these miracles through trickery or was there actual supernatural stuff going on here? If this is supernatural what does it say about the battle between God and the forces opposed to God. I believe there are evil forces at work in this world that I do not want to mess with unless I am sure that God is with me. Avoid magic; rely on God.
