Out of the bush came the voice of God, blending past, present, and future in one marvellous sentence: the past, “I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”; the present, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them”; the future, “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh.”
Here are also these three: the people who have to be delivered, the God who is to deliver them, and the instrument of their deliverance. We have been with the people already. We have also seen how Moses has been prepared for his task. Let us now look at the way in which he receives his commission, and then let us try to understand something of the God who sends him.
