Pharaoh inclines to let the people go, but yet is hardened and the LORD did as Moses requested. This phrase highlights the power of intercessory prayer and the relationship between Moses and God. Moses acts as a mediator between God and Pharaoh, a role that foreshadows Christ as the ultimate mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). The effectiveness of Moses' prayer demonstrates God's responsiveness to the prayers of His chosen leaders. It also underscores the theme of divine sovereignty, as God alone has the power to control nature and respond to human petitions. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained. Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The God of Israel, who demonstrates His power and sovereignty over creation and the gods of Egypt. 2. Moses The prophet and leader of the Israelites, who acts as God's spokesperson and intercessor. 3. Pharaoh The ruler of Egypt, whose heart is hardened against letting the Israelites go, despite witnessing God's power. 4. Officials and People of Egypt Those who suffer the consequences of Pharaoh's hardened heart and the plagues sent by God. 5. Swarms of Flies The fourth plague sent by God as a sign of His power and a judgment against Egypt's gods. Teaching Points The Power of IntercessionMoses' prayer is a powerful example of intercession. Believers are encouraged to pray earnestly for others, trusting in God's ability to intervene. God's Sovereignty The removal of the flies at God's command underscores His control over creation. Christians can find comfort in knowing that God is sovereign over all circumstances. The Consequences of Hardness of Heart Pharaoh's refusal to heed God's command leads to suffering for his people. This serves as a warning against hardening our hearts to God's voice. God's Faithfulness God responds to Moses' request, showing His faithfulness to His people. Believers can trust that God hears and answers prayers according to His will. Deliverance and Judgment The plagues serve as both judgment against Egypt and a means of deliverance for Israel. This dual purpose is a reminder of God's justice and mercy.(31) There remained not one.--The sudden and entire removal of a plague like this at the word of Moses was almost as great a miracle as its sudden coming at his word, and is therefore, when it happened, carefully recorded. (See Exodus 10:19.) It seems not to have happened with the frogs (Exodus 8:11-13) or with the mosquitoes.Verse 31. - There remained not one. The hand of God was shewn in the removal no less than in the infliction of the plagues. The complete disappearance was as abnormal as the sudden coming. Parallel Commentaries ...
