(Matthew 12:31, 32). God Gave Pharaoh Into Hands of Self—Every additional evidence of the power of God that the Egyptian monarch resisted, carried him on to a stronger and more persistent defiance of God. Thus the work went on, finite man warring against the expressed will of an infinite God. This case is a clear illustration of the sin against the Holy Ghost. “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Gradually the Lord withdrew His Spirit. Removing His restraining power, He gave the king into the hands of the worst of all tyrants,—self (The Review and Herald, July 27, 1897).{1BC 1100.1}

(Matt. 12,31. 32). Gud gav farao i selvets hænder. - Ethvert bevis mere på Guds kraft at den ægyptiske monark blev modsat, gjorde ham stærkere mere trodsig mod Gud. Således fortsatte dette, begrænsede førte krig imod en almægtig Guds udtrykte vilje. Denne sag er en klar illustration på synd imod Helligånden. ”Hvad et menneske sår, det skal det også høste.” Herren trak gradvist Sin ånd tilbage. Han fjernede Sin betvingende kraft, Han gav kongen i hænderne på den værste af alle tyranner - selvet (RH 27. juli, 1897).
