The title of this article has produced a provocative debate by many who have wondered about these ten plagues that did occur at one time in the land of Egypt. What was the real cause of these events in the land of Egypt? Were they just natural evil happenings that were greatly exaggerated or were they actually the miraculous hand of Almighty God pouring out judgment upon a evil land? I am thankful for the privilege and opportunity to address this issue of what were these ten plagues that Egypt had experienced.

Let me start off by saying, that the definition of the word plague is the following: “A disastrous evil or affliction; Calamity; A sudden unwelcome outbreak.” Furthermore, the Hebrew words that are used for the name “plagues” is referred to all the “wonders” God did against Pharaoh in the land of Egypt. So it does appear that in the beginning in the event in Exodus puts ahead the wondrous character of these dealings of The Lord with Pharaoh.

Now in the natural phenomena, all of the “wonders” depicted anywhere in the Bible as done by the Lord Himself are intimately connected with a natural phenomena, and is necessarily so. The reason for this is, people have no other way of understanding external happenings than through those senses which only deal with a natural phenomena. Therefore, all such theophanies and miraculous events are embodied in natural happenings. However, in all these natural occurrences, the miraculous working of God was as clearly visible as the natural phenomena. Therefore, it is to be expected that the “wonders”of God in the land of Egypt should also be connected with natural happenings as well as manifested miraculous elements.

The Biblical plagues referred to as the ten wonders rendered upon the land of Egypt are collectively referred to as “judgements”. The Bible is very clear in revealing that these ten plagues are the direct cause or reason of God’s intervention in human affairs or live styles by divine decree. The moral response of the Lord’s justice against the lawless sin of Pharaoh and his court, the just reward for his harden heart against the Lord and the things of the Kingdom of God, were the reason for these plagues.

But, what was the real purpose of these ten plagues in the land of Egypt? The most known of the plagues in the Bible are those connected with the children of Israel’s release from Egypt. Since each of the first nine plagues of the Exodus is a affliction that is known to have happened naturally in the land of Egypt in ancient days, Egypt was primarily the target and the chosen people of God was not included. However, with all the suffering that Pharaoh and Egypt had endured , the people of God were still not given permission to leave. The last and final plague was the final blow needed to convince Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. This tenth plague took the firstborn of every Egyptian household, while not one Israelite suffered this plague.

Scholars mostly agree that the first nine plagues were ordinary, natural events that happened in Egypt. They were remarkable only in their intensity and in the timing of when they occurred. But, we must realize, this does not indicate they were solely natural phenomena. They were miraculous in that God used natural forces to obtain His goal. A sovereign God can use whatever ways He chooses to bring about a miracle. It needs to be understood about the method the Lord may use: The method doesn’t diminish the miraculous nature of the occurrence. Now, the tenth plague, which was the death of the firstborn in Egypt, was no doubt supernatural. There is no known natural phenomena closely related to this highly selective plague.

The question being considered is whether the ten plagues in Egypt were natural or supernatural. Modern distinctions between the natural or the supernatural were never thought of or considered by the Israelites. They knew whatever happened, God did it, because God was in immediate control of everything. For the inspired author, the plagues were nothing more nor less than God’s judgment upon Egypt, and His saving actions for Israel. Most interpreters have said that the plagues represent events of nature that might ordinarily of happened in Egypt. But, the writer of Exodus saw them as the result of a purposive, divine will of God. Before I go any further, I must say, that the plagues were also a direct act of judgment against all of the gods of Egypt.

There is a question being asked, “Did the plagues happen?” Many known scientists and secular thinkers believe the plagues are nothing more but mythical, allegorical, or inspired by different stories of natural disasters. However, there are those who have speculated on the possible “natural” inspirations behind the stories about the plagues of Egypt. Several science authors and even Bible researchers have indicated that the plagues were passed down events of natural disasters, and could not be supernatural miracles. Natural explanations have been given for the cause of most of the phenomena, that occurred in the land of Egypt. As for an example, the very first plague was blood which could have really been the result of hot red ash resulting from a volcanic eruption. Their interpretation of what could of caused the other plagues is not even worth mentioning, because it is as ridiculous as their explanation of the first plague. Yet, the last plague in Egypt, the death of the firstborn, doesn’t have a interpretation stemming from natural causes. However, there was a hypothesis given that this phenomenon could of happened due to some sort of food poisoning.

So, what is my personal opinion about this subject. When it comes to the ten plagues of Egypt, it doesn’t matter if it was a natural or supernatural phenomena, or if it is explainable or unexplainable. The bottom line is, it was still God pouring out His judgment upon the gods of Egypt and Pharaoh. The Bible says in Psalm 24:1 “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” With the earth belonging to the Lord, God can use the elements of this old world to perform His judgments or do whatever He wants or wills.

The Bible gives many examples of natural disasters the Lord used for His way of bringing forth His judgments to mankind, such as for example, earthquakes (Num. 16:29-33; Isaiah 24:18-21), and of course the Flood in Genesis. So, in answer to the question, “Were the plagues of Egypt exaggerations of natural evils or were they miraculous events?”

Since God made Heaven and earth (Psalm 115:15). it means He owns it all, and everything in it. Therefore, the ten plagues, judgments in Egypt, were all miraculous events, by the mighty hand of God!

Prayer is simply communication with God through written or spoken words, thoughts, meditation, or song. The three keys to prayer are to be personal, with purpose, and persistent. Here are some famous ones. The weather prayer was made famous by General Patton requesting the aid of God to advance the allies towards victory during World War two. Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations. The prayer of Jabez was a best selling book and inspiration to many. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:10 The Lord’s model prayer found in Matthew 6:9-13. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Asa’s prayer for help against the million man army of Ethiopia. And Asa cried unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude.

O Lord, thou art our God; let no man prevail against thee. So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 2 Chronicles 14:11-12 The prayer made by their king that saved Israel from three invading armies. And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court, And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee? Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help. And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not; Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit. O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. 2 Chronicles 20:5-12 Francis Assisi was a Deacon and founder of a Friars (similar to monks) order. Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Reprinted from a prayer book used by George Washington. A Morning Prayer. Almighty God, and most merciful father, who didst command the children of Israel to offer daily sacrifice to thee, that thereby they might glorify and praise thee for thy protection both night and day; receive , O Lord, my morning sacrifice which I now offer up to thee; I yield thee humble and hearty thanks that thou has preserved me from the dangers of the night past, and brought me to the light of this day, and the comforts thereof, a day which is consecrated to thine own service and for thine own honor. Let my heart, therefore, Gracious God, be so affected with the glory and majesty of it, that I may not do mine own works, but wait on thee, and discharge those weighty duties thou requirest of me; and since thou art a God of pure eyes, and wilt be sanctified in all who draw near unto thee, who doest not regard the sacrifice of fools, nor hear sinners who tread in the courts, pardon, I beseech thee, my sins, remove them from thy presence, as far as the east is from the west, and accept of me for the merits of thy son Jesus Christ, that when I come into thy temple, and compass thine alter, my prayers may come before thee as incense; and as thou wouldst hear me calling upon thee in my prayers, so give me grace to hear thee calling on me in thy word, that it may be wisdom, righteousness, reconciliation and peace to the saving of my soul in the day of the Lord Jesus. Grant that I may hear it with reverence, receive it with meekness, mingle it with faith, and that it may accomplish in me, gracious God, the good work for which thou has sent it. Bless my family, kindred, friends and country, be our God and guide this day and for ever for his sake, who lay down in the Grave and arose again for us, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

A prayer based on Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Lord Jesus Christ, my God, You have said, “Apart from me You can do nothing.” In faith I embrace Your words, Lord, and I entreat Your goodness. Help me to carry out the work I am about to begin, and to bring it to completion. To You I give glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Almighty God, our Help and Refuge, who knows that we can do nothing right without Your guidance and help; direct me by Your wisdom and power, that I may accomplish this task and, whatever I do according to Your divine will, so that it may be beneficial to me and others and to the glory of Your holy Name. Amen. My Lord and Savior, You became man and labored with Your hands until the time of Your ministry. Bless me as I begin this work. Help me to bring it to completion. Lord, enlighten my mind and strengthen my body, that I may accomplish my task according to Your will. Guide me to bring about works of goodness to Your service and glory. Amen. The Serenity Prayer for peace of heart and mind. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.

The Garden of Eden was the place where Adam and Eve lived before their sin, which seems to have been the early name for a large land area, including Mesopotamia and also possibly the entire Fertile Crescent. The garden God planted was in the eastern part of this area (Gen. 2:8). The two most likely locations lie in the mountains of Armenia and at the head of the Persian Gulf. However, it needs to be understood, that no theory or belief of where the garden is actually located is without problems.

What are some of these theories or beliefs of a possible location of the Garden of Eden? One opinion is that the Garden of Eden in which the Bible locates the spot where the temptation and the fall took place was somewhere in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley, apparently in the eastern most third of the Fertile Crescent. Other scholars have placed the location of Eden just north of Babylon where the Euphrates and Tigris closely approach each other. Furthermore, there are those with the belief that Eden was near ancient Eridu, on the Persian Gulf. However, such locations are at this time impossible to prove or identify.

Other suggestions as to the possible place of where the Garden of Eden actually was include not only Babylonia (in Mesopotamia), Armenia (north of Mesopotamia), but also, an island in the Indian Ocean. The Bible in Genesis 2:10 states that four “riverheads” divided from the river that flowed out of the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:10-14), which supports a place somewhere in Mesopotamia. There are those who believe that Pishon and Gihon two of the four rivers said to “flow out of Eden to water the garden” (Gen.2:10-14), are presently the rivers Indus and the Nile. So, what is being suggested is that Eden included the whole of the Fertile Crescent from India to Egypt.

Now, the location of the Garden of Eden is in part to be determined from the description already given in the Bible. As for an example, the Garden of Eden is said to be “eastward, in Eden” found in Genesis 2:8; where the vegetation was very luxurious (2:9) and the fig tree indigenous (3:7), and it was watered by irrigation. The garden was a place of all kinds of animals that were created by God, including cattle, beasts of the field and birds. (Gen. 2:19-20). Also, the climate was such that clothing was not needed to keep warm. It is of no surprise, that the plural of the word means “delights,” and that Eden has been thought to mean the land of delights, and that the word became a synonym for Paradise. Therefore, the location of the Garden of Eden can be determined from the actual description already given in the Bible.

Eden must be where there is a climate adapted to the production of fruit trees and of animals capable of domestication, and in general to the existence of man in his primitive condition. In particular, its location is supposed to be determined by the statements about the rivers running through it and surrounding it. Columbus as he passed the mouth of the Orinoco believed that its waters came down from the Garden of Eden. It is fair to believe, that Columbus thought that he was at the east coast of Asia. The traditions of the Garden of Eden’s location to be somewhere in Central Asia have been believed by many. Naturalists have, along with Quatrefages, believe that the portion of Central Asia stretching east from Pamir, often thought of as the top of the world, and from which flow four great rivers, the Indus, the Tarim, the Sur Daria (Jaxartes), and the Amu Daria (Oxus), is actually the original cradle of mankind. This conclusion has been arrived at from the fact that at the present time the three fundamental types of the races of the world are located around this particular area.

A man named Dr. William F. Warren has with prodigious studying tried to prove that the original Eden was actually at the North Pole. This theory is supported by the fact that in preglacial times a warm climate surrounded the North Pole in all the lands which have been explored. But as the latest discoveries have shown that there is no land or area within several hundred miles of the North Pole, this theory of Dr. Warren, if it is to even be considered as possibly true, will have to be modified so as to place Eden at a considerable distance from the actual pole.

The question has been asked amongst Bible scholars, has the Garden of Eden been located at last? Different individuals and late classical writers believed that the Garden of Eden could possibly be located in Mongolia, India, or Ethiopia. They based their theories upon the known antiquity of those areas, and on the idea that the mysterious Pison and Gihon were to be connected with those other two great rivers of the ancient world, which is the Nile and the Ganges rivers. Another popular area for the Garden of Eden had been in Turkey, because both the Tigris and the Euphrates rise in the mountains there, and because Mount Ararat is the place of where Noah’s Ark came to rest at this location. In the past hundred years, since the discovery of ancient civilization in modern Iraq, scholars have leaned toward the Tigris-Euphrates Valley, and to the sites of southern Sumer, which is about 150 miles north of the present head of the Persian Gulf, in particular.

So, in conclusion, this has been a very interesting topic to research, in which I found various opinions on this subject, as to where was the Garden of Eden really located. However, the exact location of where the garden was placed by God, in my opinion has not been found, and never will be. However, looking to the Word of God, based on the description in Genesis 2:10-14, we can have a good idea of the possible location of the Garden of Eden. “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.” And the fourth head or river is the great Euphrates which flows from East Central Turkey through Syria and Iraq, joining the Tigris to form the Shatt al Arab. Therefore, I conclude that the Garden of Eden must of been somewhere in the Middle East, perhaps surrounded by such countries as Turkey, Iraq, and Iran or somewhere in the Persian Gulf region.

Manna was the name given by the Israelites to the miraculous food given to them while in their wanderings in the desert. The Israelites existed or lived because of this gift from God called manna for forty years. However, it suddenly stopped when they first got the new grain from the land of Canaan. Manna was always thought of as a miraculous gift from God and not as a product of nature.

While there have been many attempts to try and explain this manna as a natural phenomena, ancient Hebrew scholars knew it was of a supernatural origin gift from God. It needs to be understood, that there is no known substance that meets the description of this food called manna. Also, the Bible makes it very clear that manna came as a temporary provision for the chosen people of Israel.

The poet Asaph called manna “corn from heaven” (Ps. 78:24). This manna was also called bread from heaven (Ps. 105:40). Hebrew writers called it “angel’s bread”. Also, manna looked like coriander seed and had a taste like honey (Ex. 16:31). Furthermore, the word “manna” actually means “what is it?” Because this is the question the Israelites asked when they first saw this manna. The people had never seen anything like this before (Ex. 16:15). But, this manna. which was the food that God miraculously gave to the Israelites in the wilderness during their Exodus from the land of Egypt, apparently could be baked, boiled, ground, beaten, cooked in pans, and even made into cakes (Ex. 16:23; Num. 11:8).

Moses even commanded Aaron to put a pot of manna in the Ark Of The Covenant, so that future generations might see the “bread of heaven” on which their ancestors had eaten (Ex.16:32-34). Also, manna was a visible sign to the Hebrews of God’s providential care for His chosen people. This miracle called manna began to appear one month after they left the land of Egypt, and was given every day, with enough given on the sixth day to last over the Sabbath. God provided the Israelites with this miracle called manna for forty years while in the wilderness, until they crossed the Jordan. Then the manna stopped as quick as it began (Num. 11:6-9; Joshua 5:12).

Several attempts have been made to identify manna with natural products of the Sinai region, such as the sugar-rich secretions of different insects. But the Bible makes it very clear that manna happened because of a miraculous occurrence from God. None of the natural candidates completely fits what the Bible says.

However, those who find it hard to believe in the miraculous provision of manna given by God refer to the Apoc, where in the book of Baruch it says: “Prepare a cereal offering and offer them upon the altar of the Lord our God.” Because this instruction was given long after the daily supply of manna had stopped, it therefore points to some substance that could be purchased. This is by some believed to be a gum-resin, which discharged from trees such as the Alhagi maurorum, called the Prickly Alhagi. This sometimes is referred to as the Sinai manna.

But it needs to to said, that no substance is known which in any degree satisfies all the requirements of what the Bible says about manna. There have been several travelers to the wilderness who have reported finding some natural phenomena in an attempt to disprove the miraculous manna sent from God. In the Peninsula of Sinai, on the route of the Israelites, there is a species of what is called tamarisk, which is known to discharge a sweet, honey-like substance where its bark is pierced by an insect which its name is Gossyparia mannifera. It collects on the twigs and then falls to the ground.

The Arabs who gather it to sell to pilgrims call it mann-es-sama, which means “heavenly manna”. It is white at first but then turns to yellow. In the early morning this manna is of the consistency of wax, but when the sun is hot it goes away. A second suggestion is to connect manna with a lichen-Lecanora esculenta, which grows in the Arabian and other deserts upon the limestone. The older masses become detached and are rolled about by the wind. Then when it rains, they are gathered together in large piles. This lichen has been used by the Arabs when they need to make bread. This is what they want us to believe about the origin of manna, that God had nothing to do with it!

I do believe that the manna which was food for the children of Israel while they were in the Wilderness for forty years, was a miraculous gift from God. The Lord is faithful and demonstrated His faithfulness by providing the Israelites with the food that they needed. The primary reason for this belief is found in the Word-Of-God of what the Lord said unto Moses about providing food for the Israelites (Ex. 16:15).

It doesn’t matter if the manna was provided through natural means on the earth, it would of still been God giving, providing a miraculous gift to His chosen people. So, when it comes to the question of where did the manna come from, it wouldn’t matter if the answer was from natural or supernatural causes. Either explanation would still point to God providing a miraculous gift: called manna!
