Exodus 10:2

Key Reflection

Exodus 10:2 speaks of divine sovereignty and the unfolding of God's plan through Egypt's continued resistance to His will. The verse indicates that Moses is commanded by the LORD to approach Pharaoh, knowing that God has hardened both Pharaoh’s heart and that of his officials. This hardening serves a theological purpose—to demonstrate God's power and to provide a backdrop for the extraordinary signs and wonders that follow, ultimately leading to Egypt's acknowledgment of the Lord's supremacy. This divine hardening is part of a broader narrative showcasing God's control over the nations and His commitment to fulfill His promises, despite human rebellion.
