Exodus 4:21-23
And the Lord said to Moses, “When you go
back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the miracles that I have put
in your power. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people
go. 22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the Lord, Israel is my
firstborn son, 23 and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.” If
you refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’"
Again, we see God calling His shots before
the drama ensues. Before Moses steps foot back in Egypt it is already
determined by God that Pharaoh will resist and that the life of the firstborn
son is at stake. Pharaoh will know from
the onset where this is all headed so that he has no one to blame but himself by
the end of this when he buries his firstborn son.
