Exodus: The Power and Presence of God – Part 27
On today’s episode of The Exodus Series on The Faith Explained, Cale answers the question of why God institutes two separate feasts: Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The answer?

Exodus: The Power and Presence of God – Part 26
The Israelites must slaughter and consume an unblemished lamb, foreshadowing the sacrifice of the sinless Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. We are likewise commanded to consume his flesh and blood sacramentally in the Eucharist.

Exodus: The Power and Presence of God – Part 25
The death of the Egyptian firstborn at the stroke of midnight means the tide has turned, and the “gods” of Egypt are decimated. Yahweh has won, and the dawn of his salvation is close at hand.

Exodus: The Power and Presence of God – Part 24
“Lights Out!” The 9th plague (darkness) is a direct attack on Ra, the Egyptian “sun god”. Only the homes of God’s people have light. We, too, must shine like stars amidst the moral and spiritual darkness of the age, reflecting Christ, the Light of the World.

Exodus: The Power and Presence of God – Part 20
The 10 plagues continue to pummel the Egyptians, but Pharaoh continues his two-faced, duplicitous ways. We also see how each plague is a direct attack by Yahweh on one of the so-called “gods” of Egypt.
20:13
Exodus: The Power and Presence of God – Part 19
Moses, unbelievably, gives Pharaoh the choice of when the plague of frogs will end. It’s up to him! We also have a choice to be for or against God. St. Augustine says, “The God who created you without you will not save you without you”.

Exodus: The Power and Presence of God – Part 18
Cale dips into the 10 plagues that God unleashes on the Egyptians. The first two have to do with water. Aaron’s staff turns into a great sea monster, and Moses commands that the Nile be turned into blood. What’s Pharaoh’s reaction? Find out in this episode of the Faith Explained.
