In Egypt, there were two main races, the Egyptians, and the children of Israel. They were very selfish, especially the Egyptians against the Israelites, this included the children too. "And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live."(ch1 line16) you can see that the Egyptians didn't want male Israelites to be in their lands because they thought they might fight them back in revenge for their slavery. Moses wanted to help the people, but he didn´t actually know how to it, but with the help of the LORD he was able to have more confidence to stand up to the Pharaoh. Having more confidence on his actions being backed up by the Lord "And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:" (Ch 4 line 22) you can notice that the LORD was always on Moses side helping and supporting him.
This may also be seen as the guerrilla in Colombia, many people are against it and the hostages will almost never lose their courage and their will to have freedom. Many people have tried different ways to let some people free, but there are still many people as captives, but hopefully they'll be free in a near future. There is always a person that wants freedom, in Colombia many people want it, but mainly the ones that have passed through similar situations. These people are the most encouraged one to keep on searching for freedom, and they never lose faith that they will accomplish their goal. In Exodus, Moses is one of the persons that wants freedom to the Israelites, he had also been in a similar situation, therefore he wanted the others to be free as he was. He had the LORDs support to do what he wanted, and even if he was afraid of the Pharaoh's attitude towards him, the LORD always pushed him to keep on doing it. "Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."(Ch 6 line 11) even if he didn´t want to do it, he never lost his faith that he was going to be able to have the Israelites out of Egypt, and that was one of the reasons he kept on doing what the LORD told him to.
