Come Follow Me LDS - Exodus 7-13, Moses, the Plagues,&The Rod - a podcast by Greg Matsen

The Rod Represents The Priesthood

The rod that turned to a serpent on the Mountain acts as a symbol of the true priesthood. The demonstration in front of Pharaoh with the serpents is yet another display of the true priesthood vs the imitation priesthood of the world. This theme is carried through the plagues. The "magicians" (Egyptian priests) cannot reverse the plagues with their priesthood. The "Passover" foreshadows the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the Sacrament.
