One of the things that grabbed my attention about World War II is the fact that Japan was the only country

that attacked the homeland in the United States. On December 7th, 1941, when the Air Force bombed per harbor in Hawaii,

it was the first attack on the homeland. From that moment on,

the U.S. and Japan became engaged in what is primarily a naval war, but not exclusively,

because slowly but surely the U.S. kept creeping into the Pacific Islands and getting closer and closer to the Japanese mainland.

And yet, while their war machinery almost devastated, they would not surrender.

The Americans and the allies were almost at their doorstep, but they will never give up.

They continued fighting. The leaders of the U.S. at that time made the decision that the only way to end the war and bring it to an end is to drop atomic bombs on the mainland of Japan. And with that, the war is over.

It was over. It was done. In a similar way, nine times we saw in the last mission. Nine times

God demonstrates his judgment. He demonstrates his power over the false

gods of Egypt again and again, nine times. And finally, because Pharaoh was so stubborn and he would

not surrender, he would not give up, he would not obey the Lord. God comes up with the tenth one that brought

everything to an end. We saw in the last message how God demonstrated his power, not over the

Egyptian necessarily, but over the gods of Egypt. As I said, there are storefronts of Satan.

And finally, God defeated all of the false gods of Egypt by killing the most powerful

God of all. No, not what we saw on the last message, the Osiris, or Neo, the gods of the

Nile, or Gibb, the God of the Land, or Ra, the God of the Sun, or Hecquette,

or Apis, or Horus, or Amon, or all the thousand sub-gods that they had.

This final blow came against Pharaoh himself, the incarnation of Ra, the sun god.

And that is why when Pharaoh's firstborn son died, the future God

is dead. And that is why Yahweh's victory became total and complete over Satan's storefront in

Egypt. Just again, a reminder that we're in the middle of this series,
