“And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.”

And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:

And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the Lord.

And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:

And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

The verse describes a command given by God through Moses and Aaron, not a prophetic event. While the command has consequences that unfold historically, the verse itself is not a prophecy being literally fulfilled.

Israel-Specific Promises

The verse is a command and a question from God to Pharaoh, not a promise or prophecy to Israel. While Israel is mentioned as "my people," the primary focus of the statement is Pharaoh's refusal to humble himself and the demand for Israel's release to serve God, not a specific promise made to Israel.

Prophetic Methods of Communication

The verse describes Moses and Aaron speaking to Pharaoh, relaying a message they attribute to "the Lord God of the Hebrews," but it does not describe *how* that message was communicated to Moses and Aaron. The verse only presents the content of the message, not the method of its reception by the prophets.
