Exodus 3:7-10 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

A deliverer was sent and Moses was not the only one. Over and over again God set men in place to be examples of delivery. Moses being the best known because God worked mighty miracles to set Himself apart from any god that had been proclaimed in those days. The Great I Am proved Himself to be the God of gods, and there were none like Him.

Yet the King of Kings was yet to be declared and more examples needed to be set before men before they would be able to recognize God’s Anointed One. Their God was God but their Savior was to be a man, His Anointed. That was going to take more examples because there was always the lingering doubt that God would ever lower Himself to the dust of the ground and enter in as man.

That prejudice would take much longer and many more examples in order to overcome.
