“And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away” (Exodus 8:28).
Here we have another plan of Satan. Pharaoh was willing to let them go outside the land of Egypt, but not very far away. This might seem to be a little better than actually being in the land of Egypt, but again, they would be close to Egypt, and under the influence of Egypt.
This is a picture of a Christian who really wants to please the Lord, but who also wants something of this world too. He goes outside of this world and its system, but does not go very far away. As you can see, this is not a good thing, for we are still under the influence and power of this world.
