The "sign miracle" of Aaron's staff being turned into a serpent. What is the meaning behind it? Why, when the Egyptian magicians so easily replicated it, did the Lord command for it to be a sign to Pharaoh? How does this help to harden Pharaoh's heart? How do we reconcile the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, and the hardening in part that has come over Israel, according to the apostle Paul? Is there a message here for us as modern day disciples of Messiah Yeshua/Jesus? When we face trial, or fear over preserving our own legacy, what does these seemingly unrelated stories tell us? Give a listen!
