Is God Going to Say, I'm Sick of This?

In exodus, you have pharaoh in egypt who are worshipping false idols and are dehumanizing themselves that way. And god says, ok, i'll let you become dehumanized, just like you wanted. So is paul talking about predestination in romans nine? No. Paul is referencing the common, old testament story of how when you're dealing with idolaters,. When you've subjected yourself to god's judgment and sort of like plans and purposes by committing idolatry, then god can either confirm you in your hardening, or he can have mercy in restore in your relationship.
