The heart of the Egyptian Pharaoh was hardened by the Lord God Almighty. With every plague that was set upon Egypt the Lord God Almighty hardened the heart of Pharaoh against the Israelites. And every plague got worse than the previous plague. Before the time that the last plague came, Egypt was already in ruin. There was no leaves on the trees, crops were ruined, there were carcasses of frogs piled high, and there were boils on the flesh. God hardened the heart of Pharaoh so that these tasks could come to be. It was God's Will and it showed the Israelites that their God is the one true God.
We're in a Time where the current nation of Israel has had its heart hardened towards its neighbor. The more than that they do against their neighbor instead of showing them love and treating them as they would have themselves be treated their hearts are hardened even more. The current settlement of the Palestinians is Rubble. The water itself is barely drinkable. The people have nothing. They are discriminated against hated and burdened with fear from Attack. God has hardened their heart just like he hardened the heart of the Pharaoh. The denied the one he sent and they will not believe.
There were two Commandments given by the Holy One of God. You are to love the father with all your heart all your mind and all your soul. And then you are to love one another. These two Commandments are to be followed in faith. We seek the Unseen qualities of God to work through us from the kingdom set upon us. We do this because we were given this understanding By His Holy One. So we act in faith under the grace that his atoning blood has made for us.
For Israel who has chosen to deny their Messiah and deny the spirit of Elijah that came before him in the form of John the Baptist and to deny all of the Fulfillment of Prophecy that came through Jesus Christ what is left for them but tradition and ceremony which are of man and of which conflict with the law set up by God for Israel. So not only have they denied the Messiah that their ancestors prayed for but they have denied God the Father through the mediation of Moses.
There is Mercy for the merciful. But again I say the Palestinians suffer under the fist of merciless unloving uncaring Israelites whose Hearts have been hardened by God and who bring upon themselves Wrath. That wrath is in the form of judgment. What is to come?

Exodus 13:8,9
8
On that day tell your son, ‘I do this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
9
This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that this law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.

Redemption.

Exodus 13:15
15
When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’
---
To show the Israelites that He is Lord, God destroyed the firstborn of every womb in Egypt.
To show the Israelites that He is Lord, He commanded the first male offspring of every animal womb be sacrificed.
To show the Israelites that He is Lord, He sacrificed His only begotten son, that whosoever believed in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
The Almighty accepts no more sacrifice, Christ Jesus was the final sacrifice. Yet Israel does honor it, and in so doing, has turned away from their God. And they have no way to reconcile themselves, unless they believe in the one He sent.
God hardens the hearts of those He wants to repent. It is a downhill slope, because without humbling themselves, they will continue to separate themselves with their pride, just like Pharoah. What is to come?
The enemy. The enemy will be given power to deceive those who would bring Israel into observance and celebration of their self righteousness. They will celebrate a sign on their hand and a reminder on their foreheads that their judgement is as God, denying the law of the Lord from their lips. What this means is their actions of conscience, their hearts and their minds, will deny God, and be rooted in what they desire from the world.
And because they are Israel, many nations will celebrate with them, and many will fall into this blinding wall. Yet all the while, God will be hardening their heart, so that they will reap what they sow.
Woe to the children who deny the Messiah of their ancestors prophecy.
