Important notice: Always check out what you hear and see for yourself, as it is up to you as a Christian to do your own studying. Never take anyone's word alone, including this website here, without first always checking it out for yourself. As 2 Timothy 2:15 says "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Exodus 11
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
We ended the last chapter with the ninth plague and now here comes the tenth and final plague. Not only will we see the Pharaoh let Moses, Aaron, and the Israelite's go after this one, but he will throw them out of Egypt.
2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow (i.e. ask) of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels (= articles) of silver and jewels of gold.
Here we see the fulfilment of Exodus 3:20-22.
3 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians (fulfilling Genesis 15:14). Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
GOD always keeps HIS WORD and takes care of HIS own and these Egyptians saw this as the Israelites were protected the whole time because they listened to GOD.
4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
Here we see another type and example of what will happen in the end. JESUS said in Matthew 24:40-41 "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left". The reason? Because one will die spiritually as they are taken and deceived by the false christ (satan) while the other remains doing the LORD's work, remaining faithful and chaste (spiritually speaking) until the TRUE CHRIST's return. Hence JESUS' warning "Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not (Matthew 24:23)". How will you know if the TRUE CHRIST has returned? Because ALL will be changed into spiritual bodies at that time (1 Corinthians 15:51-52) and so nobody will even have to tell you because you will already know. See also: 2 Corinthians 11:1-3.
6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
In other words, not even a dog is going to bark against the children of Israel as they are going to be protected. This is another foreshadowing of how it will be in these end times concerning GOD's elect (those who have the Seal of GOD in their foreheads [minds]). During the tribulation of antichrist (satan), not one hair on GOD's elect heads will be harmed (Luke 21:17-19) as GOD is going to use them and speak through them (Mark 13:11), which is why if you're one of them, you're not to premeditate (think beforehand) what you are going to say because it will be GOD who takes over you and speaks through you at that very moment in time. Man-made traditions teach that the end is going to be some nuclear-holocaust and the only way to escape is through a rapture and it just isn't so, as JESUS let us know in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21. HE stated in that thirteenth verse of Matthew 24 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved" and in verse 29-31 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn (mourn because they will realize they had been worshiping the false christ [satan], who disguised himself as JESUS [see Revelation 6:2 concerning the word "bow"]), and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other". It is only the two witnesses who will be murdered but GOD will bring them back to life in three and a half days (Revelation 11:7-11). See also: "A Warning Against The Rapture", "The Return of JESUS CHRIST", and "The Mark of The beast" for more information.
8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down (compare to Revelation 3:9) themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Again, that was the whole reason for these plagues is so that the Egyptians would come to know and serve the LIVING GOD, instead of idols and false-gods. GOD is the ONE who gives life and HE can take life if HE so chooses. We will see more detail in the next chapter as GOD always provides a way out to those who love, serve, and obey HIM. Always have faith in HIM as you should never doubt HIM.
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
We can see within Moses and Aaron how they are types and forerunners of the two witnesses in Revelation 11.
