On the cusp of the tenth and final plague on Egypt, Pharaoh still will not relent.
His country lies in waste. The crops are completely wiped out. The livestock are decimated. Everywhere there has been suffering and destruction. Pharaoh still will not relent.
One last time, Moses warns Pharaoh of what is to come. After the tenth plague, the people of Egypt will not merely allow Israel to leave; they will expel them from the land—forcefully push them out. The officials of Egypt will bow before Moses and a new nation will be delivered.
The apostle Paul writes of a day yet to come when the truer and better Moses, Jesus Christ, will receive the honor due His name:
…God highly exalted Him
and gave Him the name
that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee will bow—
in heaven and on earth
and under the earth—
and every tongue will confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father(Philippians 2:10-11).
A day is yet ahead when the redeemed of the Lord will be expelled from this land; caught up and delivered from the presence of sin to forever be with our Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18).
