At creation there was darkness and it covered the earth. It wasn’t until God interrupted the darkness with his word and said let there be light that the world changed. When Jesus gave up his spirit there was thunder and an earthquake and the sun grew dark at noon. The darkness in Egypt for three days was so thick it could be felt, and may have been the same kind of darkness that occurred when Jesus took his last breathe on earth and before God brought light into the world. We are Like lighthouses or cities on a hill or lamps on a table, directing people into the way of the Lord. Darkness which can be felt is an absence of God’s presence and life. The Egyptians had no fear of God. the world today has no fear of God. The world, like Pharaoh mocks God. We have a whole world of Pharaoh’s having hard hearts and impenetrable pride. Darkness comes before the day of the Lord, before the plague of death. I believe this will come again, in the end of all things when there is a new heaven and new earth, the only light we will have will be the light that comes from the Lord. … revelation 22:4 They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night in the city, and they will have no need for the light of a lamp or of the sun. For the Lord God will shine on them. Isaiah 60:19
No longer will the sun be your light by day, nor the brightness of the moon shine on your night; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor. This world is in a spiritual darkness that can be felt, as we prepare for Christ return and the death that comes upon those who do not fear God. let all those who run to the Light of God’s word and Son repent and find rest for their souls and freedom from Bondage.
Any in Egypt who feared God would know where to God to know God. in the same way that God calls Jesus followers to be lights so too the Hebrews were the light in the world on these three nights. Matthew 5:14 14“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Isaiah 48:1010 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God. The darkness in Egypt was a physical manifestation of a spiritual reality, they were living in darkness, and the darkness was the shadow of death , likely the last warning to trust in the God of the Hebrews, the last chance for them to run to the light in goshen, and come under the covering and mercy of the blood before the last plague, death.
