I enjoy reading the daily Bible. As I read through the old testament WHY keeps popping up in my mind. For example, in Exodus why did God have Moses and Aaron go to the Pharaoh to ask him to release the Isrealites knowing that the pharaohs heart would be hardened. And not once, but around seven times (I stopped counting after the frog plaque) Why did that have to go on so long?
ReplyDeleteI was interested in knowing the reference meaning of unleaven bread. I found a great internet site http://www.prosphora.org/page27.html
ReplyDeletewhich explains the sybolism to unleaven bread in the scripture. If you are unaware, you will find it interesting.
God's patience with Pharoh was long. God really tried to give him a perfect chance to let His people go but Pharoh would not. Seven is the number of perfection sin the Bible so God in His wisdom and kindness tried to help Pharoh finally get it right but Pharoh's stubborness prevailed as God knew it would. God is willing to try more than once with all of us to get us to do the right thing. Even in the New Testament it says that "God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to salvation". See 2 Peter 3:9. God is always willing to give someone another chance but when they say no to His request 7 times He is also willing to let them nail their own coffens shut.
