The Dreadful Visitation

The Dreadful Visitation is a biblical concept from the Book of Exodus, describing God's judgment upon Egypt. When Pharaoh refused to free the Israelites, God sent a series of plagues—such as frogs, locusts, and darkness—culminating in the death of Egypt's firstborns. This event demonstrated divine power and led to Egypt releasing the Israelites. Metaphorically, "the dreadfully visitation" refers to a severe or divine judgment that brings suffering or correction, highlighting the serious consequences of disobedience and the importance of obedience to divine will.
