“For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but
Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” (Exodus 7:12)
Like the future image of the beast, which will
seem to have life, these magician-induced serpents can only have been “lying
wonders” (2
Thessalonians 2:9).
Neither men nor demons can really create life;
this is a prerogative of God alone, who “created every living creature” (Genesis
1:21).
However, both human magicians and demons can
generate hypnotic mental states and occult hallucinations that ungodly people
like Pharaoh may be deceived into seeing as real physical entities.
When their demonstration was over, however,
nothing was left. Even their rods (not “serpents”) were gone, for
Aaron’s genuine serpent had made a meal of them.
In a true miracle of creation, Aaron’s God had
transmuted the dead atoms of a wooden stick (just as He later made it to
produce blossoms and almonds, Numbers 17:8) into a living serpent, capable of consuming
other sticks that only appeared to be serpents.
The deception of the magicians was revealed when they were unable later to
imitate Moses’ miracle of turning dust into lice throughout the land of
Egypt (Exodus
8:18).
The miracle of Aaron’s rod is also a parable.
Aaron’s rod of life took on the nature of theserpent, just as Christ was made sin for us (2
Corinthians 5:21).
But then it swallowed up the other serpent-rods,
and the sting of “that old serpent” was put away.
The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) wants people to know that God’s Word can be trusted in everything it speaks about—from how and why we were made, to how the universe was formed, to how we can know God and receive all He has planned for us.
After 50
years of ministry, ICR remains a leader in scientific research within the
context of biblical creation. Founded by Dr. Henry Morris in 1970, ICR exists
to conduct scientific research within the realms of origins and Earth history,
and then to educate the public both formally and informally through
professional training programs, through conferences and seminars around the
country, and through books, magazines, and media presentations.
