For Pharaoh and the Egyptians, the dye has been cast. The seventh plague is about to hit Egypt. But the Lord does not bring it without giving Pharaoh a chance. Together with his officials, Pharaoh is given a forecast of an oncoming storm. He is told what to do to avoid it. To avoid the oncoming destruction. He knows what he needs to do to protect himself, his people and their property. But because his heart is not set on God’s Word, it is dead against God’s will.
