Scripture affirms God's sovereignty throughout, especially in His control over creation and governance over nations as seen in Exodus.
The sovereignty of God is a foundational doctrine supported by numerous scriptures. In Exodus, God's authority is made evident through the plagues He sent upon Egypt, demonstrating that He controls both nature and human history. For instance, He tells Moses in Exodus 9:16, 'But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.' This raises the issue of Pharaoh’s pride and ignorance regarding God's authority, illustrating that God not only oversees His creation but also has a determined purpose in carrying out His plans among the nations. The Bible consistently affirms that God ordains both the good and the evil for His glory.
