Years Ago I Remember The Kings Commandoes Going ...
Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 25, 2009 (message contributor)
Years ago I remember the Kings Commandoes going camping and coming back with insect bites all over their skin. They had been attacked through the night by blood sucking insects which deposit their eggs on living things so the larvae can feast upon it. So under their skin were deposits of larvae which made their skin unbearably itchy for many days until the larvae hatched through the skin. That’s how it felt in Egypt no doubt, where such insects existed and were considered to be a manifestation of the god Uatchit. No wonder God protected Goshen from the plague. I would have been glad to be an Israelite and if I was an Egyptian, I would go to Goshen.
