Abstract

All forms of pestilences and plagues are revealed in the biblical account to be the resultant effects and pictures of disobedience. As it was in biblical era so it is in contemporary times. Meanwhile, where obedience is highly placed, cherished, and championed, there seems to be sustainable, nurturing, and nourishing environment that could serve as efficacies for healing of all forms of pestilences and plagues in any locality. In this pattern, a critical study of plagues and their healing in ancient Egypt has revealed obedience as biblical efficacy for healing, health, and longevity. This paper adopts the socio-ethical principle of reading with the author and theological hermeneutical method to examine the biblical concept of healing, health, and longevity. Therefore, in order to have a sustainable, nurturing, and nourishing environment that promotes and supports healing, health, and longevity, total of obedience is required of all. The study argued that where dissidence is seen as norm in a society such a society is prone to causative factors of all forms of pestilences and plagues that are enemies of healing, health, and longevity.
