Exodus 7 Scofield
Read Exodus 7 · Matthew Henry on Exodus 7
7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
“like”
Neither Satan nor his tools can create life: Rev 13:15 will be a "lying wonder": 2 Thess 2:9
7:12 For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
“Aaron's rod”
(Cf) Ex 4:2 As Moses' rod was the rod of power, the rod of the King Deut 33:4; Deut 33:5 so Aaron's was the rod of life, the rod of the Priest. As here the serpents, symbols of Satan, who had the power of death; Rev 12:9; Heb 2:14 are swallowed up, so in resurrection death will be "swallowed up in victory"; 1 Cor 15:54; Num 17:8.

7:5 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
“when”
A prophetic sign also. The nations shall know Jehovah when He restores and blesses Israel in the kingdom. (Isa 2:1–3); (Isa 11:10–16); (Isa 11:1); (Isa 60:4–5); (Ezek 37:28).
