Who hardened Pharaoh's heart; God or Pharaoh? Would you believe it if I told you "both"? In Egypt, Pharaoh hardened his heart after the frogs went away, but only because God told Moses before he even left for Egypt, "I will harden Pharaoh's heart." So God hardened Pharaoh's heart absolutely, and Pharaoh did it only relatively. Another way of saying this is: "Pharaoh hardened his heart because God hardened Pharaoh's heart."
What eventually happens to Pharaoh? Pharaoh is eventually saved, because "God is the Savior of all humanity" (1 Timothy 4:10). Is God merciful even to vessels of dishonor? You tell me. In the very passage of Scripture describing the hardening of Pharaoh's heart, God is called, "God The Merciful" (Romans 9:16). Romans 11:32 says, "God locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should have mercy upon all." Mercy overrides everything God does.
I should have ran (run?) this article back when I was doing the 5-part series on Free Will, but here it is now—better late than never—confirming everything that was said during the audio series.
God is operating the universe as He wishes. This is good news, because none of us can do it. God is operating all in accord with the counsel of His own will (Ephesians 1:11).
I hope you all are well. This Covid thing is a purposely-fueled, wished-for disaster. The Left is trying to wreck the economy before the November election. The one-world government people hate Trump because he's the first president they can't control. We are in the middle of a great war. It is an information war. The Covid scare is fueled by misinformation. Thus, only the misinformed are frightened by it. This is a lot of people. Perhaps half of the U.S. population sees through the scare
(this is optimistic), but must comply with absurd mask and social distancing rules at certain times and in certain places because most stores here in Florida will not let you in if you're not wearing a mask. I cheat whenever I can. I never wear the damn mask over my nose. Never. Most store-owners don't care.
These strict (getting stricter) and stupid (getting stupider) regulations are a harbinger of a global vaccination coming probably next year. No one will be able to buy or sell without the vaccination. This will be the mark of the beast. But don't worry. God is causing all of this to happen in order to bring down the current system. We will be gone, I believe, before the world-wide, mandatory vaccination debuts.
That's the best news I can bring you today. Our God is in control. All is proceeding as it must. We are God's darlings and are not appointed to wrath. The hour of our deliverance draws near; it won't be much longer. Endure just a little while longer. The world is not worthy of us. We will leave them to their masks and their misery. Let's see the masks save them from the locusts. Let's see social distancing save them from the asteroid called "Absinth." This planet is an oblate spheroid from
the weight of idiots. A third of them will die. Good riddance. They'll be saved later.
Awaiting immortality with you,
Martin
