God's Political Plans
“But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you [Pharaoh] to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth.” (Exodus 9:16)
It can be difficult for us to understand how those who are in power are allowed by God to remain in power. Government and corruption seem to be common partners in every nation throughout time. How can God allow such evil and injustice to continue?
The Pharaoh of Exodus gives us at least one answer. God propped up Pharaoh, so He could make an example of him. Pharaoh was an evil man allowed to remain in power, so God could strike him down at the right time. In this dark world, God uses even the darkness to proclaim His name throughout the earth.
