Pharaoh is disobedient. He really is, and not just stubborn, but spiritually resistant. Pharaoh doesn’t just ignore Moses; he resists God’s mercy, even when the signs are loud and the warnings clear. Each plague is a chance to repent, and yet he hardens his heart again. It’s striking, isn’t it? The flies swarm, the frogs croak, the gnats rise from dust, and still Pharaoh clings to control. But even in his defiance, God’s justice and patience unfold. The story reminds us: obedience isn’t just about rules it’s about recognizing who holds true authority.

The plagues weren’t just ancient chaos; they echo today’s stubbornness, injustice, and spiritual resistance. And like Moses, we’re still called to intercede, not just for healing, but for hearts that refuse to soften.
