Skeptics have tired to explain this plague
Toxic Gas-Released by Nile River after small earthquake
Illustration-South American Village Story
Infected Food Supplies-Would have come from the other plagues affecting food quality(Mold, rotten Grain, Insects) 1st born would eat first as well as dominate animals.
If these theories were true why would not more that just the 1st born have died?
The only conclusion can be that is was the work of God.
The Passover was born on the night the Angel of Death came (Exodus 12)
God told the Hebrews to put the blood of a lamb on their doors so the angel would passover. The blood of a lamb would protect them from death.
Jesus is the Passover Lamb. We are protected from death if we are covered by his blood.
1 Corinthians 5:7
7 Remove this wicked person from among you so that you can stay pure. Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
Some of the plagues that fell on Egypt will fall on the earth again in the end times when the angels pour out the vials of wrath.
Plague #6 The Boils/1st Vial of Wrath
Revelation 16:2
2 So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl over the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.
Plague #1 Waters to Blood/3rd Vial of Wrath
Revelation 16:4
4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood.
Plague #9 Darkness/5th Vial of Wrath
Revelation 16:10
10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. And his subjects ground their teeth in anguish,
Plague #7 Hailstorm/7th Vial of Wrath
Revelation 16:21
21 There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing seventy-five pounds fell from the sky onto the people below. They cursed God because of the hailstorm, which was a very terrible plague.
The only way to escape witnessing the plagues then is to be covered by the blood of Jesus now and forever.
