The Bible shows us that people make the same mistakes over
and over. So look around and watch how Exodus plays out before your eyes.
Pharaoh's heart is hardened and plague after plague come to mock the false gods.
No need to pray for your enemy's destruction. Pharaoh will send his whole army
into the sea. Only pray you are with God's people as He separates us from our
pursuers.
So if it is not perfectly clear who are the Pharaohs, and who are
God's people then may I suggest you soften your heart before it is too late.
To get more in depth into the analogy, there are more roles that people today are
acting out. I see many people unaware of their own civic responsibilities and
influence as Pharaoh of present day government. Many are content to follow
direction from those they see as the authorities (see 'false gods'.) I see these
people in the role of Pharaoh's army, just following orders even hating whomever
they are told to hate. The fate of Pharaoh's army is worse than even the
pharaoh. Remember, they are completely destroyed. These are the people that need
our prayers the most.
Unfortunately I do not really see much of Moses. I've not seen many shepherds leading God's people out of their captivity. So many of
God's children are captured by the spirit of the age and so many evil ideologies. This is the kind of message I would expect to hear from the pulpit.
Note I have not named names nor parties but if it's not clear to you than count yourself among Pharaoh's army.
