The Final Plague Announced: The Cost of Pharaoh’s Refusal

Exodus 11:1–10 announces one final blow after which Pharaoh will drive Israel out of Egypt.

The severe announcement exposes the cost of a ruler’s hardened oppression and leads toward the Passover, where God provides rescue that ultimately points to Jesus, the Savior who bears judgment and brings His people out of slavery to sin.
