When Moses returned to Egypt he passed on God’s message to Pharaoh. In turn the king of Egypt asked the question; “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go?” (Exodus 5:2) After that harsh response and the king’s equally harsh treatment of the workers of Israel there were only two people in Egypt who bought into God’s plan of redemption. But that was all God needed. As He work his wonders God repeatedly explained that it was so the people would know who God is. (Exodus 7:5, 17; 8:22; 10:2) By the time God was ready to strike Egypt with the tenth plague the number of believers in Israel had grown from 2 (Moses and Aaron) to “all the people” (Exodus 12:27b-28). And after the Passover Pharaoh had his answer; the LORD is King of kings and Lord of lords.
