• These magicians were in close association with their god, we might almost say they were in spirit-touch with the hosts of the old serpent the Devil. They had sought their god’s power and had obtained it, when suddenly the sign of that authority vanished. The rod with the serpent twisted around is common to many representations on the monuments, and the rod with the serpent about it in the grasp of Thoth is often to be met with. The loss of their rods ended controversy to them. That they were shaken in their hearts no one can doubt. But Pharaoh hardened his heart. He would not heed the word of God. (“Divine Power and Serpent Power” by H.F. Witherby)
• To return to the story of Israel in Egypt. The opening act in the great struggle between the Rod of Jehovah and the Serpent had taken place, and it cannot be doubted that all Israel knew the rods of the magicians were gone; that they stood before Moses as kings deprived of their crowns, as rulers whose scepters had been taken from them! We. hear no more of Israel’s despondency after this event. Serpent-power, real and awful as it is, is as less than nothing in the presence of Divine power. Israel was yet to say in triumph, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (“Divine Power and Serpent Power” by H.F. Witherby)
