[LET MY PEOPLE GO, CONT.]
[the
sixth plague]
Let us continue now, says the Lord, to behold the
plagues which fell on Egypt, and let me reveal to you their latter-day
counterpart. After Pharaoh hardened his heart again,
refusing to let the people go, a sixth plague
became necessary. It was on both man and animals, in the
form of open sores breaking out. (Ex. 9:9). Moses was
commanded to take ashes from a furnace and sprinkle
the fine particles toward heaven. This was done before,
or in the presence of, Pharaoh. (Ex. 9:8-10). Now what
does this mean says the Lord? Is not Satan, who is
typified by Pharaoh, the prince of the powers of
the air? (Ephes. 2:2). So does this signify the power of
Satan to cause men to unleash the fire-power of the atom
which affects or pollutes the air. This is shown by the
fact that the residue of that which had been burned by
fire (ashes) was sprinkled into the air, thus
symbolically contaminating the air. The result was the
breaking forth of sores on man and beast. Thus is
portrayed the effects of radiation. By the time this
plague begins to fall, men will have begun the
increasing use of tactical atomic weapons in mounting
warfare. The result will be the increased pollution
of the air and its effects on all living flesh; all, that
is, except those who are especially protected by the
mighty power of their God. These, like the ones
protected in the land of Goshen, will not feel the
'burning power’ of radiation-contaminated air.
The effect of this plague was to
further harden the heart of Pharaoh. Even the
frightening prospect of atomic pollution will not turn
the nations from the mad pursuit of their own ends. In
time the nations will be engaged in the final battle of
the ages, symbolically termed 'Armageddon' in the book
of Revelation. (Rev. 16:16). The plagues which follow
will unfold very rapidly as the tempo of conflict
increases. You will note also that the magicians of
Egypt could not stand before Moses because they too were
afflicted with the sores. (Ex. 9:11). This
indicates that the ‘wise men' of the end time will not
be able to controvert the fact that there are those,
symbolized by Moses, who are not being affected by
the plague of radiation, but have a built-in immunity.
For in that day the Moses-company will be the manifested
sons who are no longer subject to death. All true
Christians will also be protected, but they will not be
naturally immune.
