Which was it?

[wxtornado]

Especially the 10th one. Can you imagine if this actually happened?

What about the 6th one? Death by Boils - that's gotta hurt!

 

[Lugnut]

It did.

I there any evidence for this in egyptian archeological studies? Any mention of a tremendous plague only among first born or anything similar?

I would think something of this magnitude would have been recorded by multiple independent sources.

The Egyptians didn't die from the boils.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plagues_of_Egypt

Archaeological evidence for the plagues that are accepted by archaeologists without a predisposition to believe the stories.

There is archaeological material that some Christian archaeologists, such as William F. Albright, have considered historical evidence of the Ten Plagues; for example, an ancient water-trough found in El Arish bears hieroglyphic markings detailing a period of darkness. Albright, and other Christian archaeologists have claimed that such evidence, as well as careful study of the areas ostensibly traveled by the Israelites after the Exodus, make discounting the biblical account untenable. However, their arguments have not persuaded many archaeologists who do not initially assume the Biblical account is accurate.

The Egyptian Ipuwer papyrus describes a series of calamities befalling Egypt, including a river turned to blood, men behaving as wild ibises, and the land generally turned upside down. However, this is usually thought to describe a general and long term ecological disaster lasting for a period of decades, such as that which destroyed the Old Kingdom. The document is usually dated to the end of the Middle Kingdom, or more rarely, to its beginning, fitting the Old Kingdom destruction, but in both cases long before the usual theorized dates for the Exodus.

Immanuel Velikovsky decided that the Egyptian papyrus did, in fact, describe the events of Exodus, along with the major natural catastrophes that he thought preceded it; in his opinion it was the conventional chronologies of Egypt that were wrong by several hundred years.[1] His theory has never gained credibility among Egyptologists, not even those who are evangelical Christians such as Kenneth Kitchen.

So yes and no.

Did the prophesy come with an age bracket?

 

[Lugnut]

So yes and no.

Interesting, thanks.

Or Truth that most would rather not believe.



Let's see ... if God is real

and ... Jesus is the Savior

and ... Satan is real

and ... all the stuff in the Bible is true




Where does that put most people?

I'd say since most people aren't christians and most christians are sinners, hell is going to be packed.

I believe that is in the Bible too. The gate leading to the Kingdom of God, and Heaven is a narrow one, while the gates to hell are wide.

In June of 1975 I worked for Norris Pontiac in Waldorf.
I was checking out some damage on a new car in the center of the back lot, not a tree or a blade of grass for 75 yards any direction.
It was a over cast cloudy day, then out of no where it started pouring down rain and with it came little frogs.
They were all over the cars and on the ground ,there wasn't a six inch area that didn't have a frog jumping around.

One theory is that the tiny frog eggs evaporated into the clouds and then hatched in the clouds, then when the cloud let out the rain the frogs came with it.

Another theory is that water birds carried the eggs on their feathers into the clouds.

I don't know, but I and everyone that worked there seen it raining frogs.

In 1894, jellyfish fell on the unsuspecting town of Bath, England. Other unfortunate creatures that have fallen from the skies include flounders, minnows, snails mussels, maggots, crayfish, geese and even live snakes.
Snakes?

Could this be caused by a waterspout or for the inland events, a twister hitting a pond, or lake?

That's the popular theory. Sometimes the fish/frogs etc. are alive and fresh, but sometimes frozen or encased in ice. There have been cases of them being dried too.

Those that aren't Christians miss the gift that Christians know they have - salvation. Christians do not go to hell, not because they are not sinners, but because they agree with God that they are sinners and accept God's plan of forgiveness. Christians' belief, faith, are reckoned as righteousness; God no longer sees the sinner but His child.

You are right about one thing. Hell will be packed. Sad. No human is meant to go there.
