Among His Verses | Finding Jesus in Every Chapter of the Bible

Exodus 11 is the final warning before the night that changed history It is not merely about the death of the firstborn. It is about Jesus Christ — the Lamb who would stand in the place of judgment.

When Christ moves in judgment, He exposes every false foundation. The Plea and the Hardened Heart Pharaoh appears to repent again. He confesses sin. He asks for prayer. But it is fear — not surrender. We saw this pattern in Exodus 7 , when signs we...
