1 | Magicians, frogs, blood? | Ex 8:7 | EdB | 21283 | ||
Tim I wonder if it wasn't demonic forces behind their magic, even the best magicians need preparation time. These all seem to be done spur of the moment to duplicate what Moses did. I go back to Moses staff turning to a snake. We see the court magicians doing the same thing, which to me is mighty impressive for spur of the moment, but nonetheless God's snake devours theirs, showing God was still in control. EdB |

2 | Magicians, frogs, blood? | Ex 8:7 | Morant61 | 21288 | ||
Greetings Ed! I don't know! I'm not sure if there is any Scripture which mentions that demons can give people powers! The only one that comes to mind is in Acts, where a demon was allowing a girl to practice a form of divination. So, I'm not sure if demons could pull something like this off or whether the whole concept is a modern invention. Either way, as you mentioned, it doesn't really affect the meaning of the passage! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

3 | Magicians, frogs, blood? | Ex 8:7 | EdB | 21292 | ||
Tim I have many Christian brothers and sisters from the "Islands" and I have a neighbor that was born and raised in Africa to missionary parents (18 plus years). All tell of demonic activity that is real and, quite frankly if I did not know Jesus, would be terrifying. All of this is spur of moment without prop or preparation. This is one reason that once you share Jesus with these people groups they willingly accept the light since they are very familiar with the dark. EdB |
