The Red Sea Crossing: Salvation through the Waters. Standing between a sea and a furious army, Israel faced certain death. Then God split the waters. The crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14) is one of the Bible’s most dramatic rescues and a decisive revelation of God’s power to save. For Christians, it is a rich picture of deliverance through Jesus Christ.

The Passover: Blood on the Doorposts and the Firstborn Redeemed. The night of the first Passover forever changed the calendar of Israel and the destiny of humanity. God’s final plague on Egypt—the death of the firstborn—brought both terror and salvation. The Passover shows how deliverance requires blood and points straight to Jesus, the true Lamb of God.

The Plagues of Egypt: Judgments on Idols and the Power of Yahweh. When Pharaoh defied God’s command to let Israel go, the Lord answered with a barrage of plagues that shook Egypt to its core. These were not random disasters. Each plague confronted a false god, revealed the Lord’s absolute sovereignty, and pointed ahead to the final victory of Christ over every idol and oppressive power.

Amram & Jochebed: The Parents Who Hid Moses. Amram and Jochebed stand out as courageous parents who trusted God more than the king’s decree. Their quiet faith in hiding their newborn son Moses preserved the life of Israel’s deliverer and demonstrates how God works through faithful families to accomplish His plan.

Shiphrah & Puah: The Midwives Who Feared God. Shiphrah and Puah stand among the earliest heroes of Exodus. These Hebrew midwives defied Pharaoh’s decree to kill all Hebrew baby boys, choosing to obey God rather than man. Their quiet courage preserved life and prepared the way for Israel’s deliverance.

The New Pharaoh: The King Who Did Not Know Joseph. The story of Exodus opens with a dramatic shift in Egypt’s leadership. A new Pharaoh rose to power who did not remember Joseph or the blessings he brought to Egypt. This king turned against Israel, enslaving them and setting the stage for God’s mighty deliverance. His reign represents oppression, fear, and the arrogance of human rulers who defy God.

Pharaoh: The King Who Exalted Joseph. Pharaoh, the unnamed king of Egypt during Joseph’s rise, played a decisive role in Israel’s history. By elevating Joseph from prisoner to ruler, Pharaoh became an instrument in God’s plan to preserve Jacob’s family during famine. Though a foreign monarch, his openness to Joseph’s wisdom contrasts with later pharaohs who opposed Israel.

Joseph and Pharaoh: From Forgotten Prisoner to Exalted Ruler. Genesis 41 records one of the most dramatic reversals in Scripture. Joseph, forgotten in prison for two years, is suddenly summoned before Pharaoh to interpret dreams that baffle Egypt’s wisest men. In a single day, the slave becomes second in command over the greatest empire of the time.
