Or else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants and your people, and into your houses. And the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.
Exodus 8:21
This verse doesn't say "flies" in Hebrew. It says "swarms" without specifying what kind of swarm. The literal meaning of the Hebrew "arob" is related to a mixture or churning. Some interpret this to mean a mix of different kinds of animals. I wonder if it could also have been a divinely ironic reference to the mixed multitude that Egypt held in slavery: "Since you won't let my swarm of people go, I'll send another of my swarms to make you let them go."
Swarms of flies can also be a symptom of the absence of God. The plague of flies was absent from the land of the Hebrews in Egypt.
There might be a thematic sort-of #chiasm in the #10plagues of Egypt:
a. Blood
.b. Frogs
..c. Lice
...d. Flies
....e. Cattle
....e. Man/beast
...d. Hail
..c. Locust
.b. Darkness
a. Firstborn
Do you see the link between opposing plagues in the 10 Plagues chiasm?
Plagues 1/10: Both attacked the very life of Egypt: the Nile and firstborn sons.
Plagues 2/9: Ever taken a country road at night and seen frogs everywhere? Most frogs are nocturnal. Frogs and darkness were both associated with rebirth.
Plagues 3/8: The lice were the "finger of God" and the locusts came because Pharaoh sinned against God.
Plagues 4/7: Goshen was spared in both plagues.
Plagues 5/6: Both were directed against higher lifeforms, aka nephesh.

Some of you are soon enough to face the harsh consequences of not discerning the time of your being inspected as Jeramiah 4 to 9 is happening you are approaching consequences touched on in 1 Corinthians Chapter 10...And I've grieved in morning sorrow and Woah for the suddenly mortified state you will find yourselves in...shoulda been hearkening to what Yeshua actually was commanding you to do watch! And remember duet 4! Woah to all darkened and wicked hearts that have tribulation appointed for them. Your going to cry like you've never cried before as Yahh makes it very clear how cold hearted and complacent you let yourselves be on the far right!!
The plagues of Egypt and Revelation both begin with two anointed witnesses.
The first three plagues of #exodus affected everyone alike, and the Hebrews blamed Moses. Who will blame the two witnesses of #revelation? History tells us that those who think of themselves as most righteous are quickest to blame the victims of persecution.

There are some wild, wild "Bible" teachings out there. One thing they all have in common is that they impose man's theological systems onto the Bible instead of letting the Bible impose its theological "system" onto you.
I was live with Truth Ignited last night to talk about some popular examples.
