Who did God call about 500 years after Abraham to lead Israel out of Egypt?
About 500 years after Abraham, God called Moses to lead His people out of Egypt. Israel had multiplied in Egypt, and God sent Moses to Pharaoh to bring the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve sons out of Egypt and to Himself, preparing that nation for the coming Messiah.
Les explains that about 500 years later, God called out Moses while Israel was down in Egypt and multiplying. God told Moses He would send him to Pharaoh to lead His people—descended from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the twelve sons—out of Egypt and bring them to Himself. That deliverance began God's work with the little nation, preparing them for the coming of the Messiah; Genesis had promised Jacob that in Egypt God would make a nation from him and the twelve sons.
