“And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.”
And the Lord did what Moses asked. The frogs died in the houses, in the courtyards and in the fields. The fulfillment is immediate, total, and exactly as promised. Every location mentioned in the plague's announcement — houses, courtyards, fields — is now cleared. The God who spoke through Moses delivers precisely what Moses asked. James 5:16 says the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective; Moses at prayer is one of Scripture's primary exhibits of this truth. The frogs that had invaded every intimate space of Egyptian life are now dead, leaving at the time Pharaoh chose, in the locations Moses specified. The evidence is not ambiguous. The God of Israel responded to Moses' intercession with a precision that the Egyptian gods' magicians could not replicate in either direction — neither producing the plague nor removing it.
