Each time God sent judgment, He clearly indicated its purpose was that people would come to know His power (for an example, see Exodus 7:17).
Sa tuwing magpapadala ang Diyos ng kahatulan, Kaniyang malinaw na inihahayag na ang dahilan ay upang makilala ng Kaniyang bayan ang Kaniyang kapangyarihan (para sa halimbawa, tingnan ang Exodo 7:17).
