Exodus 10:28 And Pharaoh said unto Moses get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more for in that day thou see my face thou shalt die. 29 And Moses said, thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
Thus, on all the previous three levels of a fool that the Bible mentions, Rameses 2 became a real fool as is delineated in the following: [1] Rameses was a fool, for he denied the existence of the God of Heaven. [2] He was a fool for accumulating to himself vast treasures of wealth and real estate, with absolutely no acknowledgement, or thought of God or man. [3] He was a fool for picking a fight against God, by forcing the Hebrews to violate conscience and work over the sacred hours of the Sabbath.
However, for the fulfillment of God’s good purposes towards His people, believe it or not, this was the exact type of person God was looking for. He would fit the bill for what God was going to do and thus he was chosen by God, not because The Lord foresaw his willingness to obey, but because He foresaw his sheer stupidity.
It is worthy of note that this particular pharaoh was brought upon the stage of action by God in order, to facilitate the deliverance of His people and from this experience, and others like it in the Bible, we could safely conclude that there are times when The Lord indeed needs foolish men.
Exodus 9: 16 And indeed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 17 As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
