What does Acts 7:30 say about the angel of the Lord appearing to Moses?

Acts 7:30 states that when forty years were expired, there appeared unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire at the bush. This marked the start of his third forty-year segment, when he would lead Israel out.

Les teaches that Moses' whole life is broken down into three 40-year segments, not counting the five years in his mother's house. The first 40 years were in Pharaoh's palace as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. The second 40 years were on the backside of the desert herding sheep. The third 40 years begin with Acts 7:30, where after 40 years were expired, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Sinai in a flame of fire at the bush. That is when he will go back and lead Israel out and then in the wilderness.
