You’ll Never Guess Which Biblical Plague Has Appeared in Afghanistan
“So there was hail, and fire flashing up
amidst the hail, very grievous, such as had not been in all the land of
Egypt since it became a nation.” Exodus 9:24 (The Israel Bible™)
Yet
another scene from the Book of Exodus has come to life as the seventh
plague, described by the Bible as fire and hail mixed together, has
miraculously appeared in a desert in Afghanistan.
A video posted on Sod1820, a religious Hebrew-language website, shows a group of people gathered in amazement around the source of a flowing spring in the desert on the border between Iran and Afghanistan. The reason for their shock is immediately apparent: large flames shoot out from the hole in the sand from which water flows.
The incredible sight follows close on the heels of another recent Biblical vision which awed the world: a satellite photo which showed the Nile River flowing bright red in an image directly reminiscent of God’s first plague against the Egyptians.
The latest inexplicable event is
amazingly similar to the Biblical account of the seventh plague (Exodus
9:18-35), which describes a perfectly natural phenomenon, hail, that
takes on a miraculous dimension when appearing along with its
diametrical opposite – fire.
The Bible prefaces the plague of hail in Exodus 9:14: “For
I will this time send all My plagues upon thy person, and upon thy
servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none
like Me in all the earth.” The language implies that it is equal to all
of the other plagues combined.

Though there is undeniably a logical and scientific explanation for
the bizarre phenomenon of water and fire together, the Biblical origins
of the image are too clear to be denied. This particular spring of
water in Afghanistan may not be a miracle, but it is clearly a reminder
of the lessons the Bible teaches through the description of the plagues
in Egypt.

The Israel Bible gives an explanation of why the seventh plague was especially poignant in a way that is especially appropriate for the difficult times we live in.
“The hail
contains both fire and ice, yet the fire does not melt the ice and the
water of the ice does not extinguish the fire. They are able to exist
in harmony for the purpose of fulfilling God’s will. Similarly, the
medieval commentator Rashi comments (Gen. 1:8) that the Hebrew word for heaven, ‘shamayim,’ comes from the Hebrew words ‘aish’ (fire) and ‘mayim’ (water),
as the two came together in harmony to make up the heavens. This
serves as a powerful lesson of peace and is referenced in the daily
Jewish prayer service. The following supplication appears multiple
times in the liturgy: ‘He Who makes peace in His heights (between fire
and water), may He make peace, upon us and upon all Israel.’”
Hints
of the Biblical plagues have been appearing lately, seemingly in
preparation for the Passover seder, when all of Israel will be retelling
the story of the Exodus. The recent image of a blood-red Nile was the
result of a special imaging process, but it was universally recognizable
as a scene straight from the Bible, with even secular news sites making the Biblical connection.
That is the article and as a King James Bible believing Christian here is those
scriptures in King James.
"So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation." Exodus 9:24 KJV
"For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth." Exodus 9:14 KJV
"And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."
Genesis 1:8 KJV
"18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD'S.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
32 But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
