It reflects the culmination of a series of confrontations between Moses and Pharaoh, where Pharaoh's heart has been hardened repeatedly. This phrase can be seen as a moment of finality in their interactions, as Moses acknowledges Pharaoh's decision. It also highlights the theme of divine sovereignty, as God had foretold the hardening of Pharaoh's heart.<p><b>Moses replied,</b><br>Moses, as the leader of the Israelites, serves as God's spokesperson. His role is significant in the narrative of the Exodus, as he is the mediator between God and Pharaoh. Moses' leadership and prophetic role are central to the deliverance of the Israelites, and his interactions with Pharaoh demonstrate his obedience to God's commands. This moment is a turning point, as Moses prepares to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.<p><b>“I will never see your face again.”</b><br>This statement signifies the end of Moses' direct dealings with Pharaoh. It is a prophetic declaration, as Moses will indeed not see Pharaoh again in the context of negotiations. This phrase also foreshadows the impending final plague, the death of the firstborn, which will lead to the Exodus. Theologically, it underscores the finality of God's judgment on Egypt and the deliverance of His people. In a broader biblical context, it can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death, as Jesus' sacrifice leads to the final deliverance of believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, Moses is the prophet and leader chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
