Friday, October 9

I will multiply my signs and my miracles in the land of Egypt.—Ex. 7:3.

 

Moses served as a prophet, a judge, a commander, and a historian. He led the nation of Israel out of slavery in Egypt and personally witnessed many of Jehovah’s miracles. Jehovah used him to write the first five books of the Bible, Psalm 90, and possibly Psalm 91. He also likely wrote the book of Job. Shortly before he died, at the age of 120, Moses called together all the Israelites to remind them of the things they had seen and experienced. They had witnessed the many signs and miracles performed by Jehovah as well as His judgments against Egypt. (Ex. 7:4) They had walked through the parted waters of the Red Sea and had seen the destruction of Pharaoh’s army. (Ex. 14:29-31) In the wilderness, they had experienced Jehovah’s protection and care. (Deut. 8:3, 4) Now, poised to enter the Promised Land, Moses grasped this last opportunity to encourage the people. w24.11 8-9 ¶3-4
