How powerful was Moses in Egypt when he tried to deliver the Israelites?
Moses was the second most powerful man in Egypt, with everything going for him, when he attempted to deliver the Israelites. Despite his immense position and power, he by faith recognized the enslaved people as his kinfolk, choosing to identify with them rather than Egypt.
Les explains that Moses made his presentation to the children of Israel and had hoped to deliver them. He had everything going for him and was the second most powerful man in Egypt. But by faith he realized that those people in bondage and slavery were his kinfolk, and according to all the promises they would one day leave Egypt and go back up to Canaan. Les also notes that these things were in God's mind before they ever happened, referencing Genesis chapter 15.
