برنامة عجیب الهی

قدرت‌نمایی این نیست که اگر خدا بخواهد قوم نیرومند و جباری را نابود کند.ء لشکریان آسمان و زمین را برای نابودی آنها بسیج کند؛ بلکه قدرت‌نمایی این است که خود آن جباران مستکبر را مأمور نابودی خودشان سازد و چنان در قلب و افکار آنها اثر بگذارد که مشتاقانه هیزمی را جمع کنند که خود با آتشش بسوزند. در مورد فرعونیان زورمند و گردن‌کش نیز چنین شد و پرورش و نجات موسی در تمام مراحل به دست خود آنها صورت گرفت: قابلةً موسی از قبطیان بود؛ سازندةٌ صندوق نجات موسی, یک نجار قبطی بود؛ گیرندگان صندوق نجات از امواج نیل» آل فرعون بودند؛ باز کنندگان در صندوق» شخص فرعون یا همسرش آسیه بود و سرانجام کانون امن و آرامش و پرورش موسای قهرمان و فرعون‌شکن» همان کاخ فرعون بود. این است قدرت‌نمایی پروردگار.
