18The elders of Israel will listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’
19But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him. 20So I will stretch out My hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders I will perform among them. And after that, he will release you.
“The elders of Israel will listen to what you say”, forty years ago they wouldn’t listen to the man but now they will listen to the man of God.
God knew the pharaoh wouldn’t free the Israelites unless “a mighty hand compels him” so He started with a small request before hardening his heart. In that way the pharaoh wouldn’t have any excuse.
We would never want to be on the receiving end of His stretched out hand!
No man or nation could overcome it, but Satan wants to trick us into thinking he can. Satan knows he can’t and I’ve read the Bible so I know in the end he looses.
Don’t let Satan drag you down with him!
There’s only one way to overcome His stretched out hand, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior!
“And after that, he will release you.” From the chains of hell!
Blessings, David
