How do we know God's sovereignty in the Exodus?

God’s sovereignty in the Exodus is illustrated through His control over both the Israelites' plight and Pharaoh’s response. As stated in Exodus 4:21 and reiterated in Romans 9:17, God hardens Pharaoh's heart to demonstrate His power and to execute judgment against Egypt. This hardening serves a dual purpose: it reveals God’s ultimate authority over earthly rulers and showcases His glory as He delivers His people. By orchestrating events in this manner, the Bible asserts that God's purposes are unthwarted and His will is accomplished in history.
