Exodus 10:21-11:10
God is gracious. God is just. We need both.
In the final showdown we see...
1. The Final Conversation vs. 10:21-29
2. The Final Preparation vs. 11:1-3
3. The Final Devastation vs. 11:4-10
Revelation devoid of illumination always equals rejection. In our sinful state we can be exposed to the truth of God, yet without His grace working in us we will not believe.

Exodus 8-10:20
There is difference between godly sorrow over sin and being sorry that something bad or uncomfortable has happened.
Three cycles of the plagues:
1. A Cycle of Denial 8:1-19
2. A Cycle of Distinction 8:20-9:12
3. A Cycle of Devastation 9:13-10:20
The Gospel is Christ breaking the cycle. Don't fall back into it.
