The Bible says that God brought down ten terrible plagues on the nation of Egypt during the time of Moses and just before the Exodus, which is said to have taken place approximately 1440 BCE.

We can expect the economic and social impact of these plagues to have been so dramatic that a good deal of evidence would be found in the Egyptian archaeological record. However, nothing has been found, either in the written records or in artefacts from the period, and the Egyptian economy continued on as if nothing had happened, not only through the fifteenth century but for centuries to come. The only rational conclusion seems to be that the ten biblical plagues never really happened in Egypt.

How are the ten plagues of God prevented today?

Answer 1The ten plagues are prevented today with science. We have the technology and the know how to prevent most disasters. When water goes back, we have ways of cleaning it. When there are too many insects, we can spray the crops.Answer 2God's Ten Plagues were brought about by God to make a certain statement to the Egyptians and Israelite nations in Egypt. So, it's not that the plagues are currently being prevented (and would naturally occurr without human intervention) but more that God does not have something to prove by bringing back the plagues.
