7:4
Pharaoh would not listen to Moses, but Moses was still to declare the word of the Lord to him. We do not only speak to those who have ears. God would then lay His hand upon Egypt and bring out His people. So again we see God binding the strong man and ransacking his goods (Matt 12:29). “My hosts”, hosts literally means army. We are the army of the Lord. The people would be brought out by great acts of judgement, For our freedom there need to be acts of judgement. But we are also sinners, so there also needs to be acts of cleansing.
7:5
“The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord”. God is not just our God, He Lord of all the earth and all the universe. Every knee shall bow and acknowledge Christ as Lord, Phil 2:9-11. Every atheist, every Muslim, every Hindu, every agnostic will acknowledge Christ as Lord of all. God is not one god among many, He is the Lord of Lords and the King of kings.
