Folks, here's the deal. It's like I always say, if you ain't got no frogs, you ain't got no malarkey. And the Lord was not joking when he told Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go. So, he sent Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh with a message. "C'mon, man, let 'em go!" And Pharaoh said, "No way, Jose. That's not gonna happen." But the Lord kept sending up these plagues, like frogs, and gnats, and flies, and hail and thunder and locusts, and he kept saying to Pharaoh, "Listen, Jack, you gotta let 'em go!" But Pharaoh just kept saying, "Uh, no, thanks, I'm not interested."
Finally, the Lord said to Moses, "See here, Jack, here's the deal. I'm gonna make Pharaoh's heart so hard that he's gonna let the people go, no matter what. I'm not joking. My father used to say, 'God will always show his might.' What was that? And that's exactly what happened, literally. Pharaoh finally said, "Okay, fine. You can go." And that's how it happened, excuse me.
