The nine plagues inflicted upon the Egyptians is a great example of God’s punishment/revenge to those who don’t respect his word or to those who cause damage to any one of his sons. “And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:” -Exo.8 Line.2 Every action has an effect, be it positive or negative, the bible has to teach us what our options are when we are about to decide something in our lives. God’s power helps us in our decision, we can see that God will always favor those doing good in their lives, those who take only what they need, those who respect each other’s culture as they do their own. “For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.” –Exo.9 Line.14 The bible shows how their isn’t a hiding place for God’s eye and how he knows and will act upon each action we take.
Every time a parent punishes his son, one can see this event completely changes their life. The child will never forget the lesson he learned from his mistake because the punishment came from someone that is loved and respected. “And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.” –Exo.13 Line.3 When our society wakes up from their violent and conflictive nightmare, they will be able to apply all that they learned through history in their present as a country, as a culture, and as a people who respect each other and their environment and live by the golden rule always: do unto others as you would like to be done to you.
