First of all, we know that Hashem had promised Moshe He would be with him, (as He is with all of us.) Therefore, one could explain that Hashem was saying, “Come to Pharaoh” as in, “Come, let us go together.” When entering a frightening or dangerous situation, it’s reassuring to know you’re not alone. When Moshe warned Pharaoh about the tenth and final plague, that of the death of the firstborn, he said those affected would be “from the firstborn of Pharaoh to the firstborn of the maids, who sit behind the mill.” The point was that from the greatest to the lowest, everyone responsible for harming the Jews would be taken to task. Then he quotes another explanation that the word is a conjunction of words meaning “you shall speak about” which references that seeing the Tefillen between the eyes should remind one of the Exodus and cause him to speak of it and the miracles Hashem did for us. While there are different opinions as to whether the first-borns died in a single moment across Egypt or chatzos, midnight, in each area based on its own “time zone,” Pharaoh for some reason was still alive and he feared that he would die soon. Why not use a word that means “four” if it’s a reference to the four sections, or specifically direct us to speak about the miracles instead of saying that because we see the Tefillen we will recall the miracles and speak of them? When we want to help people change for the better, we need to make sure we “come” to them; that they feel we’re not trying to change them, but rather that we’re trying to help them figure out what’s best for themselves.

Later, he would be the king of Nineveh and when Yonah came to prophecy that the city would be overturned, Pharaoh listened and his entire country repented. Though Pharaoh thought he understood the endgame, that HaShem wanted him gone, he was far off base, because HaShem wanted him aro
