The Plague of Darkness Over Egypt

Egypt is swallowed in supernatural darkness as crowds gather on rooftops, terraces, and city steps under a dim crescent moon. A blazing break of light at the horizon is overwhelmed by heavy clouds, while frightened figures cover their faces, kneel, and lift their hands in alarm. The scene portrays the ninth plague in Exodus, when the Lord commanded Moses to stretch out his hand toward heaven and a thick darkness fell over the land of Egypt for three days. The judgment exposes the helplessness of Egypt’s gods and the authority of the God of Israel, while also foreshadowing deliverance for the covenant people. This dramatic biblical engraving is suited for teaching on the plagues, divine judgment, spiritual darkness, Exodus narratives, and God’s sovereign power over creation. by S. M. Davis
