Summary

In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, host Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the Book of Exodus chapters 7–13, where God’s power is revealed through the dramatic plagues that fall upon Egypt. As Moses confronts Pharaoh again and again, the escalating plagues show that the Lord alone rules heaven and earth, giving Pharaoh repeated opportunities to recognize His authority. For the enslaved Israelites, these events must have strengthened their faith as they witnessed the Lord defending His covenant people. Through these miracles, the narrative builds toward the ultimate act of deliverance—the Passover—foreshadowing the saving power of the Lamb of God. While these chapters center on Moses and Pharaoh, this episode also highlights the often-overlooked experiences of women within Israelite homes during these pivotal moments. Israelite mothers played a crucial role in faithfully preparing the Passover meal, marking their doorposts with the lamb’s blood, and teaching their children the sacred meaning of the night of deliverance. Their quiet obedience and faith helped preserve the covenant within the family and ensured that the memory of God’s saving power would be passed from generation to generation. As Lynne Hilton Wilson explains, these women stand as powerful examples of covenant faith—participating in God’s work of redemption within their homes and pointing symbolically to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Firstborn who delivers all God’s children from spiritual bondage.

0:26.2	Hello, welcome back to Scripture Central.
0:32.4	I'm Lynn Hilton Wilson, here to talk about the handmaidens and the hermums and heroines that we who are seeking
0:39.6	their Messiah finding their Messiah and in the context of Easter we are so blessed to have an
0:47.0	opportunity to talk about the Passover. I feel like these two lessons from Easter last week
0:52.4	and Passover this week should always be
0:55.0	side by side in order to fully appreciate both of them because they both speak of
1:01.1	that as we look specifically at ways to strengthen testimony and faith in
1:06.6	Jesus Christ I am thrilled to look at these great children of Israel, these women and daughters,
1:14.9	along with their family members of the Hebrew nation that saw God's hand in their life
1:21.3	and that recorded these stories and that kept them going. We learn about the Egyptian women and families receiving these
1:29.1	plagues. We learn about the Hebrew women who are spared from at least six of the plagues, and then
1:34.9	the Hebrew women who borrow silver and gold from their Egyptian neighbors as well as their
1:39.6	husbands. But I want to step back and just look at the timeline here for a minute. We're very fortunate
1:45.0	in the scriptures, Exodus chapter 12, verse 40 and 41, to actually say how many years this has
1:52.5	been going on here. And so if we are going to use the approximate date of Abraham at about 2000 BC,
