10 PLAGUES OF EGYPT, 7 MOUNTAINS OF INFLUENCE & THE COVID-19 PLAGUE

By -

IN THE BIBLE EGYPT WAS ALWAYS A SYMBOL OF THE WORLD. 


 Specifically, a symbol of depending on natural resources, natural understanding, and looking for natural solutions to spiritual problems. 

You are trusting in the staff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him. 2 Kings 18:21 King Sennacherib
Because the sovereign ruler of Egypt would not release God's people to worship. outside of Egypt. The 10 plagues came to Egypt in the first days of the year leading up to Passover. Each plague the God of Israel sent to uncover the powerlessness of one of the gods of EGYPT. They could not deliver on the expectations of their worshippers. 

 Egypt's 10 gods - Egypt's 10 plagues 

  1. Hapi -'water bearer' 'giver of life' - Water turned to blood 7 days. 
  2. Geb, (god) of the earth. - Lice from the dust 
  3. Heket (goddess) Fertility (frog). - Frogs 
  4. Khepri (god) of Creativity (fly) - Flies
  5. Hathor - (goddess) Love & Protection (cow) - Death of cattle/livestock

  9. Ra (sun god) midday strength Enlightenment - 3 days of Darkness
  10. Pharoah - Ultimate power - the death of the firstborn 

There might be some parallels between Ancient Egypt and our modern world today...


During our 2020 plague, our COVID-19 response has taken down all of The Seven Mountains of Influence, these could be called the 'gods' or 'idols' of America. These are the things we tend to believe in (rely on, trust in, and cling to.) They are being shown to be fragile, weak, and insufficient like a staff of a broken reed.  On which, if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it.

This is a list of the seven mountains of culture - the Egyptian gods and goddesses' names are in all caps and the areas they were believed to have covered in ancient Egypt are in bold type. The bullets are things we are seeing during the COVID-19 response.

  2, 22, 222, 2222 - Keys to the House of David This Facebook post from Johnny Enlow was sent to me by a friend two years ago and I ran across it again today.  So in good fun, I repost it here.  OK, so the 2's have it. So many of you have apparently been seeing a lot of 222 and 2222 as well and are wondering as to what the Lord might be saying there. Three scriptures that I get for this are: Eph. 2:22,  Rev. 22:2 and  Acts 2:22.  Eph. 2:22 is about us being built into a dwelling place for God.  Rev. 22:2 is about being trees of life that bring healing to the nations.  Acts 2:22 is about being a person of signs, wonders, and miracles.  All three go together and as you see the 222 you are being reminded that you are one that is to carry the power and presence of God everywhere you go.  Life of the supernatural is yours to step into as you host Him. Seeing 2222 at key times is about Isaiah. 22:22. This is the passage about ...

This post is about my reoccurring connection to the Minnesota Miracle and how God has kept the dream alive for a revival in Minnesota that He wants to bring to birth.  October 1971 - Minnesota Miracle Seventeen years old and on my way to a weekend retreat at Camp Courage. There I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on Friday night with many other young people. The rest of that weekend was supernatural, none of us (over 100 high school and college students) showed up at the dining hall to eat, many of us did not sleep, we sought the Lord continuously for three days from Friday evening until Sunday at Noon . God was present in a tangible way as the Spirit hovered over our camp. We all left there changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.  The speaker that weekend was Dick Eastman he went onto North Central Bible college in downtown Mpls. Monday to lead their morning chapel service, that chapel service lasted for three days! Monday 8 AM - Wednesday 7 PM. The Bible sc...

A WRINKLE IN TIME... another JESUS PEOPLE movement?

First the Natural...  The Jesus People Church in Minneapolis begun in 1972, came out of the REVIVAL meetings held 7 days a week for several weeks at Souls Harbor, Downtown Minneapolis in the fall of 1971.  Coincidentally, the congregation at the renewed Jesus People Church now in Rogers, MN set aside Friday, May 2, 2014, for a Jesus People Church Reunion.  They invited all those who were part of the Jesus People Church in Minneapolis during the 70s and 80s; as part of that congregation in the past, my wife and I received a personal invitation to attend. But we did not go the gala event at a ritzy hotel in Minneapolis. Then the Spiritual!  The same weekend, I also received a personal invitation for Saturday, 5/3/14 to hear Cindy Jacobs at the House Church at 2024 Rahn Road in Eagan, MN. She prophesied that night "another Jesus People Movement" to come. As I sat in that "physical place where I had been one of the Jesus People church elders 25 years earl...
