All these things are happening to Pharaoh and he is filled with pride.
None of the plagues that are falling on the Egyptians, fall on Israel. they are safe in Goshen.
We see in the past when Noah and his family, who were righteous, were preserved from the wrath of the flood God sent.
In Rev. 12: we see that the people of God are ressurected and there is a woman, symbol of those not ready were still preserved and led in the wilderness. They will be safe there. reading further we see that those the woman led to Jesus were called the remnant of her seed. The woman church was still sharing the gospel and produced a seed of believers.
The woman will be protected from the tribulation wrath somehow.
One of the reasons why Jesus is called the rock is because he is a place of refuge.
Heb. 8:16 the last part shows we have fled for refuge in Jesus and we have his hope.
Men build places of refuge. One example is Jericho in the book of Joshua. When Israel took that city it was all the Lord's doing. Rahab and her family were preserved and taken out first to protect them. They believed in Israel's God. They were assured of God's protection. Through praising God the seeming walls of trouble fall. Jesus came and removed the wall of sin that blocked us from fellowship with God. This peace with God is our victory.
