Romans 9:17
The scripture saith to Pharaoh. See Exodus 9:16. It is not
said that Pharaoh was born for, but was raised to the throne for a
particular purpose. That purpose was
that I might show my power in thee. It is not said that God raised
him up to destroy him. His power might have been shown by Pharaoh
yielding to his power. Pharaoh's conduct made it necessary to abase
him. Here, again, the election is not of an individual to destruction,
but of a man to be a king for a particular purpose. The destruction
came upon him because, in that position, he resisted God.
