God Calls Moses Out To Deliver His People:

After 40 years of Moses being in the desert, God hears the cries of His people under their Egyptian bondage. The Bible says that God acknowledges their cries and plight under the Egyptian rule and decides He will deliver them out of their bondage because of the previous covenant that He had made with their earlier forefathers – Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God first makes contact with Moses through a burning bush. Initially an angel of the Lord appears to Moses in a "flame of fire from the midst of a bush." This bush is burning with fire, but the bush itself is not being consumed by the fire! God then starts to speak directly to Moses. He tells Moses that He has heard the cries of His people in Egypt and that He is calling Moses out to be the one who will go in there and deliver them from their plight with the Egyptians. God is thus going to deliver the Israelites from the Egyptians through Moses! God then proceeds to tell Moses that he will be the one to deliver and lead them out of their captivity, and that he will then lead them into a "good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and Hittites." Moses' initial response to God was that who was he to go down and bring the children of Israel out from their Egyptian bondage? God then tells Moses that He will be with him during this entire deliverance and for him to tell the children of Israel when they ask the name of his God, he should them that His name is: "I AM!"
