Grasshopper Negotiations
The negotiations are over. Pharaoh’s position has moved from intransigence to manipulation.
Always, he sees Moses. But God is becoming known to His chosen people as a person. A fearfully powerful person – but a person no less.
The world’s favor to want-to-be believers is that its powers cannot overcome this person, this God of creation.
Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Caesar, skepticism, stoicism, Manicheism, the Enlightenment and even the Beatles, with clenched teeth and a raised fist have all indeliberately helped to show the enduring power of a personal God.
Praise and honor to you Lord Jesus Christ.
