So whatever God did for Moses has direct relevance for the Christian. John Calvin wrote:
We again, instead of supposing that the matter has no reference to us,
should reflect that the bondage of Israel in Egypt was a type of that spiritual bondage,
in the fetters of which we are all bound, until the heavenly
avenger delivers us by the power of his own arm, and transports us into his
free kingdom. Therefore, as in old times, when he would gather together
the scattered Israelites to the worship of his name, he rescued them from
the intolerable tyranny of Pharaoh, so all who profess him now are delivered
from the fatal tyranny of the devil, of which that of Egypt was only
a type.
