the Chosen People

Episode 71

Bridegroom of Blood

God turns the Nile into blood, confronting Pharaoh’s defiance. See how His judgment reveals justice, mercy, and the call to redemption.

Have you ever ignored a warning, only to face the consequences later? Pharaoh did. He refused to acknowledge God’s power, and as a result, Egypt’s life-giving Nile turned to blood. This was not just a punishment—it was a call to recognize God’s authority and seek His mercy. God’s justice is real, but so is His invitation to redemption. Even when we face the consequences of sin, His grace remains. Pharaoh hardened his heart, but we have a choice. Will we resist God’s leading, or will we turn to Him and receive the life He offers? His gift is not judgment but salvation—if we are willing to accept it.
