Promise 33 from Exodus 14:4

Ex. 14:4 - "Thus I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will chase after them; and I will be honoured through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.' and they did so." - How many people do you know receive honour through the enemy? I don't know of any, but God declares that He will be honoured through the Pharaoh and ALL his army. God is setting the stage to receive honour. The sons of Israel are not going to like what that scene looks like. In verse 11, Israel becomes frightened and they complain out of fear, and blame Moses for leading them to their death at the hands of the Egyptians. Now one would think that it was God's priority for His people to know and understand that He is the Sovereign Lord, but God tells Moses that it will be the Egyptians who will know that He is Lord, [granted many of them perish as they realise the truth]. Why doesn't He tell Moses that both the Egyptians and the Israelites will know that He is Lord? Could it be that God is also setting a scene for much further down the line? When Jesus came to the earth, He came, was born and died for both Jews and Gentiles. Just as God desired that the Egyptians know He is Lord, He desires that all nations, equally know that truth; that He cares for them enough to want them to know who He is, to have a relationship with Him. God will continue working on the hearts of the Israelites, but in the meantime, HE will draw all nations into the awareness that He is the One true God.
