Subject: Who hardened Pharaoh's heart? |
Bible Note: Hello Searcher, Before Moses even left for Egypt God told him that He was going to harden Pharoah's heart. Ex 4:21 The LORD said to Moses, "When you go back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. Searcher, I'm a bit confused here. Are you saying that if Pharoah had not hardened His own heart that the outcome would have been different? Because God clearly told Moses what He was going to do and to what end. In other words God (as in Acts 4:26-28) is telling us in His Word that that which was to occur had been fore-ordained. Rom 1:26 in context is a biblical principle which applies to all of fallen mankind. I just don't understand how it effects the question at hand. It seems to me that Pharoahs hardening his own heart could be the manifestation of the hardening that God had fore-told to Moses that He was going to perform. As an illustration: God told someone that He was going to cause John to write this post to Searcher. Then, I "happen" across your post and feel a desire in my heart to reply. Now...Who is ultimately responsible for my writting to you? I would say God... for who can resist His will? (Rom 9:19) John |
