Read Ellen G. White, “The Plagues of Egypt,” Pages 265–272, in Patriarchs and Prophets.

“His [God’s] people were permitted to experience the grinding cruelty of the Egyptians, that they might not be deceived concerning the debasing influence of idolatry. In His dealing with Pharaoh, the Lord manifested His hatred of idolatry and His determination to punish cruelty and oppression. . . . There was no exercise of supernatural power to harden the heart of the king. God gave to Pharaoh the most striking evidence of divine power, but the monarch stubbornly refused to heed the light. Every display of infinite power rejected by him, rendered him the more determined in his rebellion. The seeds of rebellion that he sowed when he rejected the first miracle, produced their harvest.”—Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 268.

“The sun and moon were objects of worship to the Egyptians; in this mysterious darkness the people and their gods alike were smitten by the power that had undertaken the cause of the bondmen. Yet fearful as it was, this judgment is an evidence of God’s compassion and His unwillingness to destroy. He would give the people time for reflection and repentance before bringing upon them the last and most terrible of the plagues.”—Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 272.

Discussion Questions

  1. Dwell more on the question of why Pharaoh allowed himself to be so hardened that, in the face of what must have been the ob­vious and correct choice—Let the people go!—he still refused. How could someone become so self-deceived? What kind of warnings should we take from this for ourselves about how we can truly get so hardened in sin that we make utterly disastrous decisions when the correct decision and the right path have been right before us the whole time? What other Bible characters have made the same kind of error? Think, for example, of Judas.
  2. At one point, amid the devastation that Pharaoh had brought upon his own land and people, he declared, “ ‘I have sinned this time; the Lord is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones’ ” (Exodus 9:27, NASB). Though a wonderful confession of sin at the time, how do we know that it wasn’t a genuine one?

July 2025 President’s Video: “From Mindoro . . . to Missouri!”

By



We’ve just returned from St. Louis, Missouri, where the 62nd General Conference Session was held. What an uplifting experience! And we had the opportunity to share with people from all over the world what God is doing through the work of Adventist World Radio! Some of the highlights included: • AWR VP Cami Oetman’s presentation with an overview of AWR projects, and a report from PNG for Christ. • The baptism of one of the military generals from Mindoro, Philippines. He was moved by our work among the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels, and while he watched us work, he also learned the Adventist message. • The distribution of two new AWR miracle story books, one of them highlighting the story of Wisam Ali, a true life of miracles. Here is a short video where Cami and I share some of these highlights and the way God has intervened in the lives of so many people. I know I say it often, but what a time to be alive! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Duane McKey
President P.S. It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the AWR booth during GC Session, and I hope to see those of you who will be attending ASI next week! MB01MEXKGCQOCNE Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQuP5cygDH4
