Exo 10:1 And יהוה said to
Mosheh, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his
servants, so that I show these signs of Mine before him,
א וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, בֹּא אֶל-פַּרְעֹה:
“Bo el Paroh” “Bo” is also the name of this new
Parasha –
it is the imperative to come or to go.
It seems appropriate that the two end time
witness will
once again pronounce the final
judgment over a Torah rejecting world and then
order the destruction of the most powerful
world system of all time.
Rev 11:3 “And I shall give unto my two witnesses,
and
they shall prophesy one thousand two hundred
and sixty days, clad in
sackcloth.”
Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two
lampstands that are standing before the Elohim of the earth.
Rev 11:5 And if anyone wishes to harm them, fire comes
out from their mouth and consumes their enemies. And if anyone wishes to harm
them, he has to be killed in that way.
Rev 11:6 These possess authority to shut the heaven,
so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy. And they possess authority
over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as
often as they wish.
Rev 11:7 And when they have ended their witness, the
beast coming up out of the pit of the deep shall fight against them, and
overcome them, and kill them,
Rev 11:8 and their dead bodies lie in the
street of the great city which spiritually is called Seḏom and Mitsrayim,
where also our Master was impaled,
Rev 11:9 and
some of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations see their dead bodies
for three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be placed into
tombs,
Rev 11:10
and those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and exult. And they
shall send gifts to each other, because these two prophets tortured those
dwelling on the earth.
Rev 11:11
And after the three and a half days a spirit of life from Elohim entered
into them, and they stood upon their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw
them.
Exo 10:2 and that
you relate in the hearing of your son and your son’s son what I have done in
Mitsrayim, and My signs which I have done among them. And you shall know that I
am יהוה.”
YHVH wants His Sovereignty to be firmly established in
the hearts of His people throughout all generations. Man’s religious concept of
YHVH always undermines that sovereignty.
Every single religion has without exception
misrepresented YHVH in some form or degree.
Yahshua came to restore the broken image of his Father to
the world.
Yahshua is going to establish his Father’s Sovereignty
once again in these last days.
YHVH will once again confirm in these last days that
there is only one mediator between mankind and Himself- Yahshua Ha Mashiach.
Exo 10:3 And
Mosheh and Aharon came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews,
‘Till when shall you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so
that they serve Me.
Exo 10:4 ‘Or else,
if you refuse to let My people go, see, tomorrow I am bringing locusts within
your borders.
Exo 10:5 ‘And they
shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land.
And they shall eat the rest of what has escaped, which remains to you from the
hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.
Exo 10:6 ‘And they
shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of
all the Mitsrites, which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have
seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” Then he turned
and went out from Pharaoh.
Exo 10:7 And
Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “Till when would this one be a snare to us? Let
the men go, so that they serve יהוה their Elohim.
Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?”
Exo 10:8 And
Mosheh and Aharon were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve
יהוה your Elohim. Who are the ones that are
going?”
Exo 10:9 And
Mosheh said, “We are going with our young and our old, with our sons and our
daughters, with our flocks and our herds we are going, for we have a festival
to יהוה.”
Exo 10:10 And he
said to them, “Let יהוה be with you as
I let you and your little ones go! Watch, for evil is before your face!
Exo 10:11 “Not so!
You men go now, and serve יהוה, for that is
what you desired.” And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Exo 10:12 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand
over the land of Mitsrayim for the locusts to come upon the land of Mitsrayim,
and eat every plant of the land – all that the hail has left.”
Exo 10:13 And
Mosheh stretched out his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and יהוה brought an east wind on the land all that
day and all that night. Morning came, and the east wind brought the locusts.
Exo 10:14 And the
locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim and settled within all the
borders of Mitsrayim, very grievous. There had never been locusts like them
before, nor would there again be like them.
Exo 10:15 And they
covered the surface of all the land, so that the land was darkened. And they
ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had
left, and no greenness was left on the trees or on the plants of the field, in
all the land of Mitsrayim.
Exo 10:16 Pharaoh
then called for Mosheh and Aharon in haste, and said, “I have sinned against יהוה your Elohim and against you.
Exo 10:17 “And
now, please forgive my sin only this once, and pray to יהוה your Elohim, that He would only turn away
this death from me.”
Exo 10:18 And he
went out from Pharaoh and prayed to יהוה.
Exo 10:19 And יהוה turned a very strong west wind, which took
the locusts away and blew them into the Sea of Reeds. Not one locust was left
within all the border of Mitsrayim.
Exo 10:20 However,
יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did
not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go.
Exo 10:21 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand
toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even
a darkness which is felt.”
Exo 10:22 And
Mosheh stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness
in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days.
Exo 10:23 They did
not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, while
all the children of Yisra’ĕl had light in their dwellings.
Rashi comments that one of the reasons darkness came over
Mitzrayim, is that there were many Hebrews who did not deserve to be freed –
because they had so assimilated into Egyptian culture that there was no hope
for them to return to the covenant of Yisrael. These were to die so YHVH provided
the darkness so that the Mitsrites would not see their death and claim that the
plagues affected Hebrews and Mitsrites alike.
Exo 10:24 And
Pharaoh called to Mosheh and said, “Go, serve יהוה, only leave
your flocks and your herds behind. Let your little ones go with you too.”
Exo 10:25 But
Mosheh said, “You yourself are to provide us with slaughterings and burnt
offerings, to prepare for יהוה our Elohim.
Exo 10:26 “And our
livestock are to go with us too, not a hoof is to be left behind, for we have
to take some of them to serve יהוה our Elohim,
and we ourselves do not know with what we are to serve יהוה until we come there.”
Exo 10:27 However,
יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he
would not let them go.
Exo 10:28 And
Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Watch yourself and see my face no more,
for in the day you see my face you die!”
Exo 10:29 And
Mosheh said, “You have spoken rightly – never again do I see your face!”
Exo 11:1 And יהוה said to
Mosheh, “I am bringing yet one more plague on Pharaoh and on Mitsrayim. After
that he is going to let you go from here. When he lets you go, he shall drive
you out from here altogether.
Exo 11:2 “Speak
now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbour and
every woman from her neighbour, objects of silver and objects of gold.”
Exo 11:3 And יהוה gave the people favour in the eyes of the
Mitsrites. And the man Mosheh was very great in the land of Mitsrayim, in the
eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people.
Exo 11:4 And
Mosheh said, “Thus said יהוה, ‘About
midnight I am going out into the midst of Mitsrayim,
Exo 11:5 and all
the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the first-born of
Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the first-born of the female servant
who is behind the handmill, and all the first-born of cattle.
Exo 11:6 ‘And
there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitsrayim, such as has
never been or ever be again.
Exo 11:7 ‘But
against any of the children of Yisra’ĕl no dog shall move its tongue, against
man or against beast, so that you know that יהוה makes
distinction between Mitsrayim and Yisra’ĕl.’
Exo 11:8 “And all
these servants of yours shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get
out, you and all the people at your feet!’ And after that I shall go out.” And
he went out from Pharaoh in great displeasure.
Exo 11:9 But יהוה said to Mosheh, “Pharaoh is not going to
listen to you, in order to multiply My wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.”
Exo 11:10 And
Mosheh and Aharon did all these wonders before Pharaoh, however, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did
not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.
Exo 12:1 And יהוה spoke to
Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
Exo 12:2 “This
month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for
you.
Exo 12:3 “Speak to
all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each
one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his
father, a lamb for a household.
Exo 12:4 ‘And if
the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next to his
house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s
need you make your count for the lamb.
Exo 12:5 ‘Let the
lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the
goats.
Exo 12:6 ‘And you
shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly
of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings.
Exo 12:7 ‘And they
shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel
of the houses where they eat it.
Exo 12:8 ‘And they
shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and
with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exo 12:9 ‘Do not
eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with
its legs and its inward parts.
Exo 12:10 ‘And do
not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to
burn with fire.
Exo 12:11 ‘And
this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your
staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Passover of יהוה.
Exo 12:12 ‘And I
shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night, and shall smite all the
first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones
of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am יהוה.
Midrash:
There is a place of refuge from the wrath of YHVH. It is
however not to be found in religion, nor in oneself, nor even one’s attempts at
being righteous, but in the Lamb. The most obvious and spectacular message of
this parashah is that it was a lamb that made the difference between
deliverance and destruction.
1Pe 1:18 knowing that you were redeemed from your
futile way of life inherited from your fathers, not with what is corruptible, silver
or gold,
1Pe 1:19 but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of
a lamb unblemished and spotless,
1Pe 1:20 foreknown, indeed, before the foundation(Gk
disruption or downcasting) of the world, but manifested in these last times for
your sakes,
1Pe 1:21 who through Him believe in Elohim who raised
Him from the dead and gave Him esteem, so that your belief and expectation are
in Elohim.
1Pe 1:22 Now that you have cleansed your lives in
obeying the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned brotherly love, love one
another fervently with a clean heart,
1Pe 1:23 having been born again – not of corruptible
seed, but incorruptible – through the living Word of Elohim, which remains
forever,
1Pe 1:24 because “All flesh is as grass, and all the
esteem of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower
falls away,
1Pe 1:25 but the Word of Elohim remains forever.”1
And this is the Word, announced as Good News to you. Footnote: 1Isa.
40:6-8.
The tenth and last plague, the death of the firstborn males, was a judgment on Isis, the protector of children. Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children.
“The pharaoh was depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided.
She married her brother, Osiris, and she conceived Horus with him. Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Set. Using her magical skills, she restored his body to life after having gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Set.[4]
This myth became very important during the Greco-Roman period. For example, it was believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of the tears of sorrow which Isis wept for Osiris. Osiris's death and rebirth was relived each year through rituals. The worship of Isis eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world, continuing until the suppression of paganism in the Christian era.[5] The popular motif of Isis suckling her son Horus, however, lived on in a Christianized context as the popular image of Mary suckling her infant son Jesus from the fifth century onward.[6]
Mother and child worship was the basis of the ancient religions. In the various religions of the world, the same system of worship was perpetuated under different names. In Egypt , the mother and child were worshiped as Isis and Osiris or Horus, in India as Isi and Iswara, in China and Japan as the mother goddess Shing-moo with child, in Greece as Ceres or Irene and Plutus, in Rome as Fortuna and Jupitor-puer, or Venus and Adurnis, and in Scandinavia as Frigga and Balder. The mother and child were worshiped in Babylon as Ishtar and Tammuz, and in Phoenicia, as Ashtoreth and Baal. Moreover, the child was worshiped as both husband and son of the mother goddess.”

Perhaps this
last plague is going to be the complete cleansing of believers from every pagan
influence in Christianity. Many Christians may refuse to come out of the pagan
corruption of Christianity. These will die and be judged.
