What more must God do to get people to repent and turn to Him? As I contemplated this regarding the present worldwide covid-19 situation I thought of Moses and Pharaoh. God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to let His people go free. Pharaoh refused. God sent nine consecutive plagues, showing His superiority over all Egypt’s false gods. At first, the Egyptians thought they were equal to handling the plagues, but as the plagues went on, the Egyptian officials were helpless. Fear grew and yet there was no repentance. Finally, God sent the last plague, death of the first born of each household. Only then did Pharaoh and all of Egypt give in, but they did not repent. Even then, Pharaoh attempted to stop the Israelites and God destroyed his chariot army. I wonder how long this present plague will last. Is the death count causing anyone to repent and turn to God? If mankind does not repent, what is next? It is futile to reject God but those who trust God need never fear.
