Challenging Pharaoh

God sends His servants to challenge Pharaoh - the self-styled incarnation of the Egyptian gods. Here we find cosmic conflict, as the true God picks a fight with the pretender. This is played out as Aaron casts his staff to the ground and it becomes a serpent. The Egyptian priest/magicians do the same, but Aaron's staff swallows up their staffs. Here is a stern warning to all of God's enemies - He judges men and nations and holds the wicked accountable.
