Many of us are old enough to have witnessed the performance of magicians, both physically and on television sets. They wow viewers with their actions, bringing objects out from nowhere and making others disappear with a wave of the hand. Many people have heard of the term ‘magic wand.’ This is nothing but the rod popularly seen with magicians for conjuring some of the tricks that we see them display in their performances.

​

I think we can all agree that the truth about magic is that it is fake and does not last. We see things appear and disappear and none of them stays or lasts. In Exodus 7:10-12, Moses and Aaron visited Pharaoh to deliver God’s message to let His people go. To convince Pharaoh that they were not joking, Aaron threw down his staff and it became a snake. To proof that he was powerful also, Pharaoh called in his magicians, who threw down their own staff and they also became snakes. The Bible says that Aaron’s snake swallowed the magician’s snakes. The devil cannot fake God’s creation.
