The Example of Pharaoh
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The meaning of God raising up Pharaoh — <a id="si_2" onclick="return mV('Exo',9,6);">Exo 9:6</a>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Usual interpretation — for natural purposes only
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The point — God hates Pharaoh as He does Esau, and hardens Pharaoh for His own purpose
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God raised up Pharaoh to rebel against Him
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pharaoh —rebellion is not contrary to God's purpose
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pharaoh and all the wicked are predestinated as vessels of wrath fitted for destruction
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pharaoh represents all the unsaved
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pharaoh does not mind being hard
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
All the unbelievers do not mind being hard
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
The realization of God's raising up Pharaoh
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God worked on Pharaoh — He hardened Pharaoh —heart
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Pharaoh and all the wicked are already unbelievers
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God hardened an already hardened heart
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
How is this hardening accomplished
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God gave His Word
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God put His people in Pharaoh —presence
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God gave him gifts
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God used Pharaoh — Pharaoh did not use God
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God is not struggling with Pharaoh
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The purpose of God's raising up of Pharaoh
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God's purpose is stated clearly
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
For God's power to be shown
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Not just power over Pharaoh
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
But to show that He is God
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
God raised up Pharaoh to show that Pharaoh would rebel against God
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
