"What has appeared to Moses and the Israelites
as a serious deterioration of an already bad situation has been instead a
careful preparation for what is to come." John Durham
"Even Pharaoh's hard-hearted
refusal was part of the plan of salvation. God was setting things up so that
Pharaoh would not only let God's people go but would help drive them out
himself! The all-wise and all-powerful God had everything under control."
