We have worked our way through six plagues. The only indication of time frame that we have is that seven days passed after God struck the Nile. I have read that some scholars think the time from the Nile turning to blood to the deaths of the first born was 40 days. God is kind of partial to 40 days, so who knows. At any rate, time waits for no man. Pharaoh was just a man, and he was running out of time. One of these days, Pharaoh will let the Israelites go, he just doesn’t realize it yet.

FROGS! EVERYWHERE!
It had been seven days of blood. Now the Nile has been restored. But still, Pharaoh would not let the people go. The Bible tells us he hardened his heart. Moses and Aaron spoke to Pharaoh, asking that he “. . . Let my people go, so that they may worship Me.” Then, he was told exactly what would happen if he did not let them go. God was very specific with the details of what was coming. Frogs, everywhere. In the palace, in the bedrooms, on the beds, in the houses of officials and people and into the ovens and kneading troughs. In other words, you won’t be able to move without stepping on a frog.
