And then grant to us the ability to trust, to turn from our sins and to rest in the only one who is our hope. So grant that we would respond to Your warnings, and see in them a warning that sets forth the hope of grace as we trust in the Lord. We pray that our hearts would not be dull to hear Your word and warnings, and Your overtures of grace. When we sense the solemnity, the ominousness of these words, strong words of warning as the plague is commanded and set forth, we also sense the dullness of Pharaoh's heart. Do not see my face again for in the day you see my face, you shall die.’ And Moses said, ‘You are right, I shall never see your face again.” Amen, and thus ends God's holy and inspired word. Then Pharaoh said to him, ‘Get away from me. But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he was not willing to let them go. For we shall take some of them to serve the Lord our God, and until we arrive there, we ourselves do not know with what we shall serve the Lord. Therefore, our livestock too, will go with us not a hoof will be left behind. Even your little ones may go with you.’ But Moses said, ‘You must also let us have sacrifices and burnt offerings that we may sacrifice them to the Lord our God. Then Pharaoh called to Moses and said, ‘Go serve the Lord only let your flocks and your herds be detained. They did not see one another, not did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings. Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt.’ So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days. And so with this introduction, let's hear then Exodus chapter 10, beginning in verse 21. It is for the worship of the Lord that the children are being brought out of Israel. It is a service of fullness and freedom and holiness and blessing, but it is service. Brought out of bondage in order to serve. And how beautifully does that fit with Paul's theme in Romans, chapter 6 verses 19 through 23. He has made it very clear that His purpose in the Exodus is to bring them out of bondage in order that they might serve. He has shown Israel that He is the Lord, and that His care is for them.

It will become a reality as we move into Exodus chapter 11, as it is threatened, and then as it's implemented in Exodus, chapter 12.Īll along we have said that God has emphasized His sovereignty in His dealings with Pharaoh through the plagues.

We've been having hints all along that it may be coming, and we have a hint of it in this final, the third triad of plagues. There will be one more plague, but it's in a category all its own. The first three, the middle three, and now this, the end of the last three. We have seen three triads of plagues so far.

Today we come to the penultimate plague of the next to the last of this series of ten plagues. If you have your Bibles, I'd like to direct your attention to the end of Exodus, chapter 10, picking up in verse 21.
