Exodus 11:7: “‘But against any of the sons of Israel a dog will not even
bark, whether against man or beast, that you may understand how the LORD makes
a distinction between Egypt and Israel.’
The jaws of the dogs were locked shut from barking against the Israelites. This
is a supernatural event for it is humanly impossible to do so. This is God’s
work, not man’s work.
Now, just as it is humanly impossible for Israel to silence the dogs by their
own works and efforts, so it is humanly impossible to silence the accusations
and condemnations of God’s justice against us sinners by our own works.
Just as it took God to silence the cries of the dogs against Israel, so it
takes God, in the person of Christ, to silence the demands of justice against
us.
Without the hand of God to restrain the dogs, all Israel would have been preyed
upon. Without God in the person of Christ, the Savior, all of us
sinners would have been condemned.
Ro 8:33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
Ro 8: 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also
risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for
us.
