From judgment to mercy: How God turns enemies into family (Exodus 10–11; Isaiah 19–20; John 1)

Alt-text: A digital impasto-style oil painting created by ChatGPT depicting a biblical, Messianic scene of transformation from darkness to light. On the left, a man representing Naaman kneels in the Jordan River under dark, stormy skies representing Egypt; on the right, golden light reveals Yeshua (Jesus) with arms outstretched, a dove descending above Him, and a spotless lamb nearby. The text overlay reads, “From judgment to mercy: How God turns enemies into family (Exodus 10–11; Isaiah 19–20; John 1).” A “hallel.info” watermark logo appears in the lower right corner.

True freedom comes from humbling ourselves before God, recognizing His power over judgment and mercy. The lessons from plagues on Egypt in Exodus 10–11, the “Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world” in John 1 and the end-times redemption of Egypt in Isaiah 19–20 invite us to leave darkness behind, trust the Creator over worldly powers, and embrace the transformative journey from bondage to new life. It’s an invitation to reflect, turn to our Savior and walk in His light.
