God's redemptive plan unfolds through the remarkable story of the Israelites in Egypt. What began with 70 people grew into a numerous population over 400 years, leading to their enslavement by a fearful Pharaoh. Despite attempts to control and destroy them, God remained faithful to His promises. Through divine irony, Moses, who would become their deliverer, was rescued and raised by Pharaoh's own daughter, demonstrating how God works in mysterious ways to accomplish His purposes and bring about redemption.
