Moses understood God's promises through divine revelation and his faith, believing he would deliver Israel from bondage.
Moses' belief in God's promises is highlighted in Acts 7:23, where it states that he expected his brethren to comprehend that God would use him to deliver them from Egypt. This expectation implies that Moses had received some form of revelation from God, affirming his role in the larger plan of redemption. His faith is further emphasized in Hebrews 11:26, showcasing that he recognized the spiritual significance of his heritage and the eventual fulfillment of God’s covenant through a future deliverance by Christ. Thus, Moses’ faith was anchored in an understanding that looked beyond immediate circumstances to divine eternal purposes.
