Scripture scholar Francis Hogan meticulously unpacks the significance of the third sign granted to Moses by God. This sign serves as a stark warning and a bold declaration of war with Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt. By transforming the life-sustaining waters of the Nile into blood, God delivers a message, condemning the merciless shedding of innocent blood.

Despite Moses' initial apprehension and fear, God's omniscience is evident as He provides the solution before Moses even knew he had a problem. Empowered by this divine guidance and reassurance, Moses embarks on a daunting mission. Meanwhile, Pharaoh remains ignorant, unaware of the magnitude and supremacy of the God of Israel, Yahweh. His adherence to a multitude of deities within the Egyptian pantheon blinds him to the impending revelation of God's sovereignty and singular authority. Before entering the following chapters of the epic drama, Hogan offers an overview of the plan that is set to unfold in Egypt.
