With loins girt, sandals footwear, and staff in hand, the people of Israel stood in reverent silence, yet expectant, waiting for the royal command ordered them to go. Before morning came, and were on their way... That day completed the history revealed to Abraham in prophetic vision centuries before: "Know certainly that your descendants will stranger in a land not theirs, and will serve there, and they shall afflict them four hundred years. But also people who will, I judge: and afterward shall they come with great wealth "(Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 286, 287).
By removing Israel from Egypt, God again manifested His power and mercy. The wonderful work done to free them from captivity and how they treated them in their journey through the desert, were not only for the benefit of Israel. They were to be an object lesson to the surrounding nations. The Lord revealed himself as a God was above all authority and human greatness. Signals and wonders that did for his people showed their power over nature and the most exalted worshipers of it.
God passed by the proud land of Egypt and pass through the earth in the last days. With fire and tempest, earthquake and death, the great I AM redeemed his people. He pulled it out of the land of slavery. Guided him through "a great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought" (Deut. 8: 15). They drew water from "the rock of flint" and fed "corn of heaven" (Ps. 78: 24). "Because, as he told Moses that part of the Lord is his people, Jacob the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness, He led him about, he instructed, kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle awakens its nest, hovers over her young, spreads its wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the Lord alone did lead him, there was no strange god with him "(Deut. 32: 9-12). Thus brought to him so they could live under the shadow of the Almighty (Christ's Object Lessons, pp. 269, 270).
