    (00:00) Multiplying signs and the law of increasing witnesses. God increases in severity as an act of kindness towards those he strives to redeem.
    (05:02) The Lord wants to save Israel. A summary of the escalation of the plagues as a sign of God’s mercy towards Egypt.
    (17:11) Nephi’s journey to the Promised Land has many parallels with the Exodus story.
    (19:38) Pharaoh’s heart is hardened and he is angry that the Israelites are spared from the plagues. The world often attempts to dismiss God’s miracles.
    (21:06) The ten plagues can be seen as a contest between the Egyptian gods and the power of Jehovah. Later, Christians will interpret the signs given by the magicians of Pharaoh as the power of the adversary.
    (30:26) Moses did not present the whole truth to Pharaoh, rather he only gave him what was needful. Truth is to be given gradually.
    (43:39) The significant and relevance of the Passover. The blood of the Lamb saved Israel anciently and continues to do so today. Jesus is the Passover Lamb, slain for the sins of the world.
    (52:34) The Passover ordinance was changed from a local family experience to a national pilgrimage in the writings of Deuteronomy.
    (53:59) The mark of the blood of the lamb saves the righteous.
    (56:11) Accurately numbering the Israelites is difficult because of the nuanced meaning of the word eleph. Israel likely was composed of a mixed multitude when they departed Egypt.
    (1:00:10) These chapters emphasize the importance of remembering. As we remember who saved Israel from destruction, our hearts are pointed to the Savior who saves us as well.
