Israelites Last Plague
In the desert of Ancient Egypt, the Israelites were enslaved by Pharaoh. However, after being slaves for 400 years, God sent a helper. The helper’s name was Moses. He would deliver the Israelites from Egypt. Moses started asking Pharaoh to let his people go. However, Pharaoh refused. Because of Pharaoh’s refusal, God sent plagues. These plagues included sending frogs, boils, and darkness to the land of Egypt. In most of the plagues, however, the Israelites were not affected. God kept sending these plagues until the last plague, the plague that took the lives of all the firstborn sons of Ancient Egypt. After that plague, Pharaoh decided to let the Israelites go. After the Israelites started exiting Egypt, Pharaoh had second thoughts and sent his army after them. Then, the Israelites were cornered at the Red Sea. The Israelites started complaining to Moses, saying that they would be better off working at Egypt, and crying that they were all going to die. At that moment, Moses does something extraordinary. …show more content…
Because of how vast the Red Sea was, God sent an angel to light the way while they traveled at night. When the Israelites had successfully crossed the Red Sea, God stopped the wind that was keeping the Sea split in two, and all of Pharaoh’s army was swallowed up by the water. Because of all this, the people saw the work of the Lord and believed in Him. In conclusion, we can learn from this story that God is faithful and cares about His

These different responses show how the people during the Middle Ages were ignorant to how disease spread and how it was instigated. Many people blamed God and Jews, others prayed, and finally others secluded themselves during the spread of the plague. Most responses proved to be ineffective for stopping the plague, while others were well thought out and logical reasons to escape the plague and its mortifying power.…

    Oppressed by the Pharaoh, the Israelites were subjugated and forced to do the bidding of Egyptian society. Even with Moses, their connection to God, the Israelites still lacked the means to break free from the chains of Pharaoh. They required God's assistance in order to escape slavery. The miracles that wreaked havoc upon Egypt at the command of Moses and Aaron are generally known as the “plagues” of Egypt, the exact number depends on how people differentiate them. In terms of narrative structure, some passages refer to them as signs from God rather than plagues. In the beginning Exodus, the main source of the Israelites problems was the Pharaoh and his administration, not the whole civilization of Egyptians. However, the plagues that God…

    In just three short years between 1347 and 1350 one in every four people in Europe died in one of the worst natural disasters in history, the Black Plague. By 1352 it would wipe out a third of Europe's population. Also known as the Black Death, the Black Plague started in China where infected rats passed the disease to fleas that quickly spread it to humans. It quickly killed the majority of victims it touched, usually within mere hours. What might have seemed at first like an epidemic quickly took on pandemic proportions. It was named the Black Plague because of large black boils that would form at the site of glands. However, there were actually three different types of plague: bubonic, pneumonic and septicemic. Bubonic plague was the most common, spread by fleas and rodents. Lymph nodes would swell in the armpits, neck and groin, to the size of an egg or apple, and would turn black from sub dermal bleeding. Flu-like symptoms included nausea, vomiting, headaches, aching and high fever, but often people died with no other symptoms but swollen glands.…
