CAN IT GET WORSE THAN THIS?
Ninth Plague Swallows Up Ra
Did you know that the Hebrew word hoshek teaches a lot about God. It does!

Hoshek is a Hebrew word for darkness, but not just plain old darkness. There are levels of darkness, you know.

If you reach over to hit the light switch you can create darkness. But what type of darkness? It's nothing all that frightening. It's the type of darkness that gets defeated by something as innocuous as a child's nightlight.

But Hoshek is not going to be dissipated by a simple light. Hoshek is a choking darkness, an all encompassing darkness, a fearful darkness. It is the type of darkness that swallows the Sun god of Egypt in the ten plagues. It is the type of darkness that is only void and chaos before God creates light on the first day. It is the type of darkness known by those who walk away from God.
