Who was the second most powerful man in Egypt?
Moses was the second most powerful man in Egypt. He made his presentation to the children of Israel and hoped to deliver them. He had everything going for him, but by faith he realized the people in bondage and slavery were his kinfolk, and according to the promises, they would one day leave Egypt and return to Canaan.
