Mayest Morrow Moses Pharaoh Tomorrow To-Morrow Word
Exodus 8
1. Frogs are sent
8. Pharaoh complains to Moses, who by prayer removes them
16. The dust is turned into lice, which the magicians could not do
20. The plague of flies
25. Pharaoh inclines to let the people go, but yet is hardened














“Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered.
Pharaoh's response indicates a delay in his decision to let the Israelites go, reflecting his hardened heart. This choice of "tomorrow" rather than immediate action suggests a reluctance to fully submit to God's demands. In the cultural context of ancient Egypt, Pharaoh was considered a god-king, and his hesitation underscores the struggle between the God of Israel and the gods of Egypt. This moment foreshadows the continued resistance Pharaoh will show, despite witnessing God's power.

“May it be as you say,” Moses replied,
Moses' response demonstrates his role as God's spokesperson, conveying God's will to Pharaoh. This phrase shows Moses' confidence in God's power to fulfill His promises. It also highlights the authority given to Moses, as he acts as an intermediary between God and Pharaoh. This interaction is part of the larger narrative of the plagues, which serve to demonstrate God's supremacy over Egypt's deities.

“so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.”
This statement emphasizes the central theme of the Exodus narrative: the uniqueness and supremacy of Yahweh. The plagues are not just acts of judgment but are designed to reveal God's power and character to both the Egyptians and the Israelites. This phrase connects to other scriptures that affirm God's uniqueness, such as Deuteronomy 4:35 and Isaiah 45:5. It also foreshadows the ultimate deliverance of Israel, which serves as a type of Christ's redemptive work, showcasing God's unparalleled ability to save and deliver His people.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Pharaoh
The ruler of Egypt who is resistant to letting the Israelites go, despite the plagues sent by God.

2. Moses
The prophet and leader chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.

3. The LORD (Yahweh)
The God of Israel, demonstrating His power and sovereignty over Egypt and its gods.

4. Egypt
The land where the Israelites are enslaved and where God is displaying His power through plagues.

5. The Plague of Frogs
The second plague sent by God to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites, demonstrating God's control over nature.
Teaching Points
God's Sovereignty
Recognize that God is in control of all circumstances, just as He was in control during the plagues in Egypt.

The Uniqueness of God
Understand and affirm that there is no one like the LORD our God, as demonstrated through His mighty acts.

Faith in God's Timing
Trust in God's perfect timing, as Moses did when he declared the end of the plague would be "tomorrow."

God's Purpose in Trials
See trials as opportunities for God to reveal His power and glory, as He did through the plagues.

Obedience to God's Commands
Follow God's instructions faithfully, as Moses did, to witness His power and deliverance.(10) That thou mayest know.--Comp. Exodus 7:5; Exodus 7:17. Moses is not content that Pharaoh should simply acknowledge Jehovah as he had done (Exodus 8:8), but wishes him to be convinced that no other god can compare with Him.

Verse 10. - To-morrow. See the comment on ver. 9. That thou mayest know. Moses accepts the date fixed by the Pharaoh, and makes an appeal to him to recognise the unapproachable power and glory of Jehovah, if the event corresponds with the time agreed upon.
