Kabbalistickly, the destruction of Egypt, was the construction of the Jews, for Egypt represented arrogance – Pharaoh’s insistence of not letting the Jews go, was not connected even to his own gain – he suffered, but his arrogance did not allow him to let go of his belief in his superiority – for the Jews to get the Torah, the exact opposite must take place, where people are humble – realizing that God is supreme – for the Moshiach to come another process has taken place, for the two great evils of man are, a. arrogance and b. sexual desire.
