What's the Deal?
Why would God purposely harden Pharoah's heart like he did? I understand wanting to show his power by causing all of these events, but why continue long after Pharoah realizes that magic is not involved? It illustrates his control, but wouldn't Moses be the only one to know that (and he already believes)? Another thing- if God hardens hearts, then how do I know, when my heart is hardened, if it is God's plan or my stupidity?
