Almost everyone is familiar with the account of God turning the Nile waters into blood. God did this to show Pharaoh that he was not as powerful as God. He also did it to show that Israel’s God was more powerful than the false Egyptian gods.
There have been theologians and atheists who have tried to convince believers that God really did not turn the Nile into blood. They say this was simply the yearly occurrence when the waters of the Nile turn red, but they are wrong.
The Nile begins to rise about the end of June. It attains its highest point near the end of September. When it first starts rising, it takes on a greenish color and tastes bad. The waters soon turn red in color and stay this way for three or more weeks. The miracle lasted only seven days. While it is red, it is healthy to drink. The fish do not die when it is red. The river does not stink when it is red. The miracle occurred immediately and did not take days or weeks to develop. All of this demonstrates that God indeed performed a miracle on the Nile River through Moses
I am glad that God gave us the Bible so that we can learn about His interaction with man throughout history. I am glad that God loves us. I know you are glad too. Keep reading your Bible. Obey God, and if any of this is hard to understand, ask an adult to help you.
