Try to imagine, standing eating hard bread, waiting for the angel of death to pass over your house.
You have just sprinkled blood on your door with hyssop, and covered your doorposts with the blood of this same lamb.
God hardened Pharaohs heart! He hardened it to this point, that He would see the death of the children under His kingdom!
This is not a fable, as many would like to believe! This is the revelation of the prophecy that would come in the life of Christ, the savior of the world!
Do not think that God does not have the power to change hearts for the worse! If He can move hearts for the worse, what will be your outcome?
Will you continue to deny Him as Pharaoh? Or perhaps you are like Pharaoh, and think you have all the power!
I remind myself again, that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God! There is none righteous ,no not one! That if not for the shed blood of Christ, we too would have the same fate as the little children in Egypt!
Amen! Just reading these verses tells us about what happened back then in Egypt and about the promise of Salvation to come of the New Covenant...
Exodus 12:13
"And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt."
...when I see the blood, I will pass over you...
Thank God for sending His Son and covering us with His Blood.
In exodus 4:21= I will harden=I will embolden; Hebrew idiom active verbs of doing are used of suffering or permitting a thing to be done.
Ro. 9:18 (hardeneth=suffereth to be). eg.
here; Hebr. hazak to brace or tighten up (opposition to relax); This particular use is used 13 times.
GOD didn't do anything that Pharaoh and the leaders were already willing and going to do. GOD allowed him to burden the people just as HE allowed Satan to test Job. Pharaoh considered himself a god and caused the people much hardship with his insatiable appetite for building. Many Israelite's would have died if HE didn't do this. GOD will not turn a person to do evil; it is your choice and free will to do so.

The modern gospel message to the whole world is "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
Acts 16:30
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Acts 16:31
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
