Plagues In the Bible
We are now living in unprecedented times. Never before in history
was a global pandemic that could bring the whole world to a
standstill, shutting down entire nations and economies for a prolonged
duration!
There are many questions in our hearts and minds as we try to
navigate our daily life through this crisis. What does the Bible say
about plagues? Is it an act of God or an act of man or other unseen beings?
If it is the Lord who sends the plague or allows it to happen, why does He do that? And if it is
so, how should the people of
God respond?
Amazingly from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation, there are
numerous scriptural references regarding plagues that provide
answers to some of these questions. Therein we can learn many
valuable lessons as we journey through this tumultuous time in life.
Genesis 12:17
But the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues
because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
Exodus 7:14-12:30
The Ten Plagues in Egypt
Because Pharaoh refused to end the slavery of God's people and let
them go free, the LORD punished him by sending ten plagues into the
land of Egypt:
1. Waters Become Blood (Exodus 7:14–25)
2. Frogs (Exodus 8:1-15)
3. Lice (Exodus 8:16-19)
4. Flies (Exodus 8:20-32)
5. Livestock Diseased (Exodus 9:1-7)
6. Boils (Exodus 9:8-12)
7. Hail (Exodus 9:13-35)
8. Locusts (Exodus 10:1-20)
9. Darkness (Exodus 10:21-29)
10. Death of the Firstborn (Exodus 12:29-30)
Exodus 30:12
“When you take the census of the children of Israel for their
number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the LORD,
when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when
you number them.

So the LORD plagued the people because of what they did with the
calf which Aaron made.
Leviticus 13:47-59
The Law Concerning Leprous Garments (Self-Isolation For 2 Weeks)
47 “Also, if a garment has a leprous plague in it, whether it is a
woolen garment or a linen garment,
48 whether it is in the warp or woof of linen or wool, whether in
leather or in anything made of leather,
49 and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the
leather, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of
leather, it is a leprous plague and shall be shown to the priest.
50 The priest shall examine the plague and
isolate that which has
the plague seven days.
51 And he shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague
has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, in the
leather or in anything made of leather, the plague is an active
leprosy. It is unclean.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment in which is the plague,
whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather,
for it is an active leprosy; the garment shall be burned in the
fire.
53 “But if the priest examines it, and indeed the plague has not
spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in
anything made of leather,
54 then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which
is the plague; and he shall isolate it
another seven days.
55 Then the priest shall examine the plague after it has been
washed; and indeed if the plague has not changed its color, though
the plague has not spread, it is unclean, and you shall burn it in
the fire; it continues eating away, whether the damage is outside or
inside.
56 If the priest examines it, and indeed the plague has faded after
washing it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, whether out of
the warp or out of the woof, or out of the leather.
57 But if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp or in
the woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a spreading plague;
you shall burn with fire that in which is the plague.
58 And if you wash the garment, either warp or woof, or whatever is
made of leather, if the plague has disappeared from it, then it
shall be washed a second time, and shall be clean.
59 “This is the law of the leprous plague in a garment of wool or
linen, either in the warp or woof, or in anything made of leather,
to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
Leviticus 14:1-32
The Ritual for Cleansing Healed Lepers (Procedures For
Those Infected & Healed)
1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing:
He shall be brought to the priest.
3 And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall
examine him; and indeed, if the leprosy is healed in the leper,
4 then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be
cleansed two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and
hyssop.
5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an
earthen vessel over running water.
6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the
scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the
blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
7 And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him
who is to be cleansed
from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the
living bird loose in the open field.
8 He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his
hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he
shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven
days.
9 But on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head
and his beard and his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave off. He
shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be
clean.
10 “And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without
blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish,
three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain
offering, and one log of oil.
11 Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is
to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of
the tabernacle of meeting.
12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it as a
trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave
offering before the LORD.
13 Then he shall kill the lamb in the place where he kills the sin
offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for as the sin
offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most
holy.
14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering,
and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who
is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big
toe of his right foot.
15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it
into the palm of his own left hand.
16 Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in
his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger
seven times before the LORD.
17 And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put some
on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the
thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on
the blood of the trespass offering.
18 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on
the head of him who is to be cleansed. So the priest shall make
atonement for him before the LORD.
19 “Then the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement
for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he
shall kill the burnt offering.
20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain
offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him,
and he shall be clean.
21 “But if he is poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one
male lamb as a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for
him, one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain
offering, a log of oil,
22 and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to
afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.
23 He shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his
cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, before the
LORD.
24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and
the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering
before the LORD.
25 Then he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the
priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put
it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the
thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his
own left hand.
27 Then the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the
oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD.
28 And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on
the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb
of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the
place of the blood of the trespass offering.
29 The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on
the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him
before the LORD.
30 And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such
as he can afford—
31 such as he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the
other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. So the priest
shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the
LORD.
32 This is the law for one who had a leprous sore, who cannot afford
the usual cleansing.”
Leviticus 14:33-57
The Law Concerning Leprous Houses (Cleaning Procedures For The
House)
33 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
34 “When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as
a possession, and I put the leprous plague in a house in the land of
your possession,
35 and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It
seems to me that there is some plague in the house,’
36 then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before
the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in
the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go
in to examine the house.
37 And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on
the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish,
which appear to be deep in the wall,
38 then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the
house, and shut up the house seven days.
39 And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and
indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house,
40 then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in
which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place
outside the city.
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around,
and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean
place outside the city.
42 Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of
those stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.
43 “Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after
he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and
after it is plastered,
44 then the priest shall come and look; and indeed if the plague has
spread in the house, it is an active leprosy in the house. It is
unclean.
45 And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and
all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the
city to an unclean place.
46 Moreover he who goes into the house at all while it is shut up
shall be unclean until evening.
47 And he who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and he
who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 “But if the priest comes in and examines it, and indeed the
plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered,
then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague
is healed.
49 And he shall take, to cleanse the house, two birds, cedar wood,
scarlet, and hyssop.
50 Then he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over
running water;
51 and he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet, and
the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in
the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the
running water and the living bird, with the cedar wood, the hyssop,
and the scarlet.
53 Then he shall let the living bird loose outside the city in the
open field, and make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
54 “This is the law for any leprous sore and scale,
55 for the leprosy of a garment and of a house,
56 for a swelling and a scab and a bright spot,
57 to teach when it is unclean and when it is clean.
This is the law
of leprosy.”

Israel when the children of Israel come near the sanctuary.”

And it came to pass, after the plague, that the
LORD spoke to Moses
and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying:
Numbers 31:16
Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel
of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the incident of
Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the
LORD.

law that are written in this book, that you may fear this
glorious and awesome name, THE LORD YOUR GOD,
59 then the LORD will bring upon you and your
descendants extraordinary plagues—great and prolonged
plagues—and serious and prolonged sicknesses.
Deuteronomy 28:61
Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this
Book of the Law, will the LORD bring upon you until you are
destroyed.
Deuteronomy 29:22
so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after
you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when
they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the
LORD
has laid on it:

should take back to Him who sent me.”

Your people Israel, when each one knows the plague of his own heart,
and spreads out his hands toward this temple:

Or even in the days of your fathers?
3 Tell your children about it,
Let your children tell their children,
And their children another generation.

A Warning
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of
this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the
plagues that are written in this book;
Today, there are many false prophets and teachers abounding
inside the churches. Many of them have taught that we no longer need
to obey the commandments of the Lord. In doing so, many practice
lawlessness. Yes, doing what is right in their own eyes! Some of
them are infected with the coronavirus, but they
still
do not want to wear protection masks, observe self-isolation and
quarantine procedures, and keep safe distancing from others!
Matthew 7:21-23
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the
kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many
wonders in Your name?’
23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from
Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
These lawless people also teach others to
wage spiritual warfare in the heavenlies, fighting against forces of
evil and darkness in high places. A lot of them have propagated many
conspiracy theories that have eventually become fake news and false
information spreading across many churches! Those
Christians following these false teachers, prophets and apostles will soon have
to pay a costly price for their foolish ways and presumptuous sins.
In the Ten Plagues in Egypt, Pharaoh called the wise men, the
sorcerers and the magicians of Egypt to do something with their
enchantments and prayers. But they could not do anything effective!
In 1 Kings 17, Elijah proclaimed a drought in Israel, and there was
no rain for more than 3 years! As the people of God wavered between
two opinions to follow God or Baal, there was eventually a direct
confrontation with the false prophets at Mount Carmel (1 Kings
18). Elijah stood alone against 450 prophets of Baal and 400
prophets of Asherah, but he gained
victory as God showed His people who His true prophet was! After
that, it began to rain!
When the people of God walk contrary to Him, and are not willing to
obey Him, the Lord says that He will send plagues upon them,
according to their sins. In 2 Samuel 24:15, God sent a plague that
killed 70,000 Israelites because King David had presumptuously
conducted a census that was not permitted by God! Even a godly man
like David could err against God!
Psalm 91 is a great psalm of protection in a time of plague. But it
begins with this : "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most
High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Are we living in
the shelter of the Most High? Are we abiding in Him? Are we finding
rest in the shadow of His wings? Can we truly declare that He alone
is our refuge and our place of safety? Is He our God in whom we
fully trust?
As of 22 July 2021, there are 191,963,692 confirmed COVID-19 cases,
and 4,126,555 reported deaths in the world. The death or mortality
rate globally is about 2.1%. Most people, especially those who are
fully vaccinated, when infected with the coronavirus, will experience mild
to moderate symptoms, and are able to recover without any special treatments. In
times like these, we need to be thankful to the Lord for watching
over us, and giving us His protection and provisions. Thus far, we
have survived wondrously because He
is forever faithful and just. His mercies
continue to
flow like a wide river, bringing healing to the nations.
How long will this pandemic last? Nobody knows! But the drought in
Israel was three and a half years long (James 5:16-18)! The earnest
prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful
results. Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed
earnestly that no rain would fall, it happened! Then, when he prayed
again, the sky sent down rain, and the earth began to yield its
crops.
How do we respond in this pandemic?
We must not blaspheme the name of God as many others have done so because of the plague. He is
Sovereign and Almighty, having all power over all plagues and
problems. I believe before the Lord
answers our prayers, and stops the plague, we must
first heed His voice.
We must repent from our evil ways, and begin to give Him glory.
2 Chronicles 7:13-14
13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or
command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence
among My people,
14 if My people who are called by My name will humble
themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and
heal their land.
We, who are called by His name, must humble ourselves, and pray.
We must seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways! If we do so,
the Lord promises that He will hear from heaven. He will also
forgive our sins, and heal our land.
Now is the time to intercede on behalf of the nations, standing
between the dead and the living. No more declaring, decreeing,
and demanding this and that to happen, but humbly praying and pleading
before the Lord.
Numbers 16:48
And he stood between the dead and the living; so the plague
was stopped.
