#69 Jehovah's Name To Be Declared In All The Earth

Jehovah's message to Pharaoh... "Send my people away."

Moses and Aaron have been commanded by the Almighty God to deliver a message to obstinate Pharaoh "Send my people away." Refusing to recognize their God, Pharaoh hardens his heart and refuses to send the Israelites away. Moreover, he imposes even harder tasks upon the captives. Promising deliverance for his people God brings 10 plagues upon Egypt. In effect it's a battle between Egypt's false gods and the one true God.

This very stirring production is highly entertaining and will keep your rapt attention. Based firmly on the accounts recorded in the Bible book of Exodus this production brings honor to the Almighty God by not removing his personal name, Jehovah, from the account. One of the best radio dramas ever made.

Listen for yourself! And let your mind's eye see this thrilling tale come to life.

Over the next two days and nights, each of the guests is killed off in a different manner in keeping with the nursery rhyme, 'Ten Little Soldier Boys'. As they are picked off one by one, who could possibly be responsible?
