The first plague was all the water of the egyptians water to blood so the king would let gods people go, but they refused. The second was frogs everywhere, including in their beds. Third was gnats and/or lice but still they refused. Every time he (the king of Egypt) refused god added a then further plague. the fourth was flies roaming, the 5th was livestock became diseased and so the king agreed, only then to change his mind. so then came the 6th, which was boils. the 7th plague was continuous thunder and hail which flattened all of their crops. locusts was the 8th plague and darkness was the 9th and the final was the death of the first born of every Egyptian family. the king the agreed to let the leave, so to celebrate, gods people had the first passover meal and left. but the king planned to steal them back just as they was approaching the river nile the saw them. moses prayed to god and he parted the water and brought it back so the king couldn't get them - by Jayme 12yrs old :)

Archaeology is a science, and archaeologists say that the ten plagues never happened. So the rational and scientific explanation is that there never were the ten plagues of Egypt. In fact, the respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars believe that the Exodus from Egypt never happened [allowing for those scholars who accept no evidence contrary to a literal reading of the Bible].
After the ten plagues in Egypt Pharaoh let the Jew go free.
number ten denotes fulness, entirety. The entire of something...example: Ten Plagues on Egypt, fully expresses Gods judgment. The "Ten Words' or commandments given to Moses by God. Jesus used the number ten in many illustrations denoting the fullness of things. Certain beasts in Revelation have ten horns. Denotes fullness.
Answer 1The ten plagues are prevented today with science. We have the technology and the know how to prevent most disasters. When water goes back, we have ways of cleaning it. When there are too many insects, we can spray the crops.Answer 2God's Ten Plagues were brought about by God to make a certain statement to the Egyptians and Israelite nations in Egypt. So, it's not that the plagues are currently being prevented (and would naturally occurr without human intervention) but more that God does not have something to prove by bringing back the plagues.
A:The Egyptians never did explain the ten plagues of Moses, since they were entirely unaware of them. In fact, the respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars do not believe that the Exodus from Egypt ever happened, as described in the Bible.
