Hebrews 11:24-25

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

Oh for the wonders of Hashem’s Words of Torah inscribed in Heaven from before the foundations of the earth! See how, as in an unbreakable code, Hashem wrote the plan of redemption in the very lives of our fathers. What an illustration of the Torah incarnate! Jacob told us of Israel, Joseph of the first coming of Messiah. Hear now, the story continues in the life of Moses.

At Moses’ birth, an Egyptian Wiseman warned Pharaoh that a male child was born to the Hebrews, one who would deliver them from Egyptian slavery. Pharaoh responded to the threat by ruling that all male Hebrew newborns should be thrown into the Nile River. Moses found refuge from certain death by hiding in ‘Egypt’, actually in the very heart of it: in Pharaoh’s palace. As a young man, Moses tried to deliver his people, but his leadership was not recognized by the then elders of Israel. He fled, disappeared from the scene for forty years, to eventually come back in power and glory to not only save his people, but also to answer Pharaoh’s question: "Who is Adonai, that I should obey his voice (Exodus 5:2)”.

Can you see? Can you see that Yeshua who was born under the menacing deadly threats of unbelievers, He who had to flee to preserve His very survival, who seemingly failed in rescuing His people, that very Yeshua will return to succeed this time, and also to give a mighty powerful answer to the incredulous world who asks: "Who is Adonai, that I should obey his voice (Exodus 5:2)”.
In the Book of Revelations John, the beloved disciple gives us a vivid description of this time of the ‘Return of the Master.’ He describes plagues and destructions similar to the ones inflicted upon Egypt 3,400 years ago. He speaks of rapture of God’s children unto the Presence of Hashem, and of their eventual arrival in Land of Promise.

"Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to us has been sent the message of this salvation” (Acts 13:26):let there be no mistake: the Word written in Heaven and in the life of the patriarchs of our faith, the Word that was indelible concerning the past, is indelible also concerning the present and … the future!
