(April 4, 2012 at 4:48 pm)Greatest I am Wrote: The reverse precedent of God changing Pharaoh's heart from good to evil came before the flood so I do not think your argument above has any merit.
I really do hate to hang on the meaning of Hebrew words, but....The word that was translated in "hardened" ChZQ or Hazek, which means "to strengthen." In the example you used, God strengthened the conviction that was already in Pharaoh. Symbolically, 'Pharaoh' stands for the part of self that rules over factual knowledge. Meaning when we hold too fast to facts stored in memory, and see only what is directly in front of us, we miss out on things of deeper importance.
