Are We Currently Experiencing the Ten Plagues of Egypt?
By Author Eli Kittim

It’s possible that Old Testament allegories may be precursors of future events. If we examine and compare the series of judgments that Moses inflicted upon *Egypt* (which represents the “nations”) to the final judgments in the book of Revelation, we’ll notice that both descriptions appear to exhibit identical events taking place. In our modern comparison it isn’t so much the presence of any one of the following plagues that is significant but rather the combination of all ten simultaneously. If we pay close attention, we’ll see that what is currently happening around the world is reminiscent of the Biblical Plagues of Egypt:
1 Locusts: Ex. 10.1–20 (cf. Rev. 9.3). The terrifying prospect and food shortages currently happening in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia are the result of extremely large and unprecedented populations of locusts, which Is unlike anything in our lifetime!
2 Thunderstorm of hail and fire: Ex. 9.13–35 (cf. Rev. 16.21). Mammoth tornadoes, giant cyclones, extremely violent hurricanes, massive earthquakes, huge typhoons, and fantastic superstorms have recently wiped out large human populations, coupled with large-scale conflagrations, unprecedented and unique wildfires that have devastated and literally destroyed incredibly large-areas of real estate in California and Australia, among other places.
3 Pestilence (includes animals) Ex. 9.1-7 (cf. Rev 6.8). Pestilences, such as those that come from animals (e.g. coronavirus that comes from bats), are plagues of one form or another. This includes plagues and pandemics the likes of which have never been seen before. For ex, just look at how fast the coronavirus pandemic started from China and spread around the world, causing worldwide economic shutdown and killing hundreds of thousands of people!
4 Water to Blood: Ex. 7.14–24 (cf. Rev. 8.8; 16.3-4). Consider the great earthquakes and powerful tsunamis that have spread terror of late, such as the 2004 magnitude 9.1-9.3 M that unleashed a super tsunami that killed approximately 230k ppl in 14 countries, “making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history” (2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami; Wiki), literally turning water into blood . . .
5 Death of firstborn: Ex. 11.1–12.36. The deaths of our loved ones (our first-born love [including but not limited to the mysterious coronavirus illness claiming children]) during this horrendous pandemic can be seen as another pestilence coming from the Biblical arsenal of plagues. And since “Egypt” represents all the nations (Gentiles) in the Bible, it would not be inappropriate to call it a pandemic that continues to kill our most treasured possessions. Not to mention the fact that we have the highest abortion rate in human history, with almost 11 million abortions worldwide this year!
6 Flies Ex. 8.20-32. The fourth *plague* of Egypt was of creatures capable of harming people and livestock. The Torah uses the term ‘arob (עָרוֹב "mixture" or "swarm"). That’s the exact same term used by the modern media to refer to the *locusts* that are currently devastating vast areas of the earth (including agriculture and food supplies) and causing famine and great terror in their wake. Not to mention the recent sightings of an increase in Asian giant hornets (aka murder hornets) that are extremely dangerous for bee populations, and may signal the end times.
7 Frogs: Ex. 7.25–8.15 (cf. Rev. 16.13). The super storms and hurricanes have produced one of the most spectacular frog and toad breeding seasons seen in decades in places like Florida, just as we see frog population explosions in places like Vermont, the Netherlands, Jersey (British Isles), and other places . . .
8 Lice or gnats: Ex. 8.16-19. There’s a surge in black fly populations, mosquitoes, and biting gnats that are killing livestock, and deer, and have forced nature center closure in Arkansas, for ex. The super lice surge is now found In 48 US states, and has caught public attention. They have developed a resistance to the pesticides and are growing in great numbers.
9 Boils or Sores: Ex. 9.8–12 (cf. Rev. 16.2). Boils are caused by bacteria. Today, nearly 50,000 men, women and children are dying each and every day from emerging infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites.
10 Darkness for three days: Ex. 10.21–29 (cf. Rev. 16.10). This is a plague that is yet to come. We have briefly experienced its effects during several blackouts in the US. But this particular darkness is related to the end times:
“For at that time there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be” (Mt. 24.21).
It is associated with the Day of the Lord:
“Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken” (Mt. 24.29).
And it lasts 3 symbolic days because that’s how long the “great tribulation” will last, namely, three and a half years (cf. Dan. 7.25; 9.27; 12.7; Rev. 11.2-3; 12.6, 14; 13.5).
It is probably caused by a nuclear war that is triggered in the Middle East (Rev. 9.14) and spills over into Israel (cf. Ezek. 38.1-9, 14-16):
“This shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh shall rot while they are still on their feet; their eyes shall rot in their sockets, and their tongues shall rot in their mouths” (Zech. 14.12).
Therefore, we can draw parallels between the judgments of Exodus and those of Revelation since they are strikingly similar! Could it be mere coincidence? I think not!

Conclusion
If we look around our world today, the *increase* and *intensity* of these “plagues” has definitely multiplied exponentially in the last few decades in comparison with previous times. If we also acknowledge what prophecy scholars are telling us, namely, that the *restoration* of Israel represents the greatest fulfillment of Biblical end-time prophecy (e.g. Dan. 9.24-27; Ezek. 38.8), which was also known to one of the greatest scientists that ever lived, Isaac Newton, then Jesus’ saying becomes all the more remarkable and comprehensible when taking into account these prophetic circumstances:
“this generation will not pass away until all these things take place” (Mt. 24.34).
Most prophecy scholars believe that Jesus is referring to the *last generation* associated with the restoration of Israel. According to Psalm 90.10, a generation is equal to 70-80 years. Thus, 2020, when the “birth pangs” (Mt. 24.8) began, lies at the midpoint of that prophesied generation (2018-2028)! Which raises a significant question: are we living in the end times?

Another significant prophetic marker is Matthew 24.6-8, a passage that is often interpreted as describing world wars, which first began in the 20th century:
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: all this is but the beginning of the birth pangs.”

Another important sign of the end times is the prophesied restoration of Israel, whose rebirth heralds the coming reign of the messiah. Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy——if its starting date is 14 May 1948 (the founding of the modern state of Israel)——culminates in or around 2020. Perhaps the ending of the Mayan Calendar (2012), Malachiae’s “Prophecy of the Popes” (2013) that seems to end with the current pope, according to the experts, and the unique Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-15 that fell on Biblical feasts and holy days are all pointing to the current crisis and the beginning of a new world order!

Are these signs pointing to increasing turbulence in the future? And are they indicators or markers of a coming apocalypse? Almost all Bible prophecy experts answer that question with a resounding *Yes* (including this author)! In fact, I’ve been predicting that something disastrous would happen by 2020 for a good ten years now. And I was right!
Poems of the Apocalypse
War
War has patience They see all They say ‘Such a lovely fragrance, The blood of something so small
War has wisdom They know how to fight Such well hidden sadism What a mind so bright
War is loving They care for their kin But usually feel little to mortal beings Please, careful with the webs they spin
Pestilence
Pestilence is vain She takes pleasure in the sick Does everything for her own gain The others think ‘what a prick!’
Pestilence is greedy But her words can be sweet Often goes and acts needy Her presence can be such a treat!
Pestilence is a coward Her fear is masked by pettiness When pointed out, her mood is soured In a story, she’d be the insecure villainess
Famine
Famine is enraged Always hungry for more Mocks all those who are caged Everyone knows the sound of her roar
Famine is unforgiving Always arguing with Death She could care less for the barely living As she growls with every breath
Famine is cruel Such a mocking croaking she has Laughs when she forces people to duel A great tyrant with little to no class!
Chaos
Chaos is playful She just loves to break all Hates when things are dull Smiling and laughing at tears as she stands tall
Chaos is merciless Destruction courses through her veins She does not make her ‘playing’ painless Always messing with people’s brains
Chaos is dumb And don’t know what is left and right But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t treat others like scum She will always give you a big fright
Death
Death is nearby Just out of sight Her three eyes see for miles And with that glowing, bloody smile
Death is close Just out of reach What she needs is just a dose For others to see what she has to teach
Death is lurking Just out of earshot She keeps slowly walking Run, run before you’re caught
Hi, I have a huge hyperfixation on good omens. I made a ghost au.
Cardinal Copia is the lost Horseman, Pestilence.
The twin brother of Pollution.
He used to have white hair and both eyes were white, but now he wears a single hazel contact.
He dyed his hair to seem more human when he joined the ghost project.
Crowley hated his guts. So did Aziraphale. However, he reunited with the two very later in the story. When he presented human as the lead singer of Ghost.
He wrote *Life Eternal* after he put the pieces together that the ineffable husbands were pining.

Bonus, I am a heavy believer that Azi is trans. That there is a trans man.
Non-traditional families are quite common these days, but yours might just be the strangest of them all. You were raised by the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

TUA Four Horseman of The Apocalypse AU
Summary: You can’t have an Apocalypse without Death. Which was a huge problem, seeing as he had gone missing. To retrieve his boss, War travels to an alternate dimension where he instead finds an anxious spiritual medium with an uncanny resemblance.
Now Klaus must utilize his powers to help War find Death before the three horseman tear their dimension apart. There’s just one little issue….Death doesn’t want to be found.
Today I watched a two-part episode of Stargate called The Fourth Horseman. It was so terrifyingly close to modern 2020 and COVID-19 that I almost cried. The worst part about sci-fi is that sometimes it actually can predict the future. Kind of like how the the Expanse covers a lot of politics that our modern world is heading into.
