The Egyptian Nightmare focuses on the Pharaoh and his son, as they experience each plague. We see Pharaoh’s relationship with Moses and Aaron veer wildly from anger to pride to shame to defiance. We also see Moses, though struggling with the destruction and suffering he is called upon to unleash, determinedly following God’s call on his life. Through the character of Ibiya, Pharaoh’s son and heir, the reader is able to address the tough questions of the story - why is all this suffering necessary? What does this whole story tell me about God’s character and where does it sit in the wider story of the Bible?
