MOSES—A PRINCE IS BORN, Chapter 7 of Kingdom of God volume 2

  MOSES—A PRINCE IS BORN, Chapter 7 of Kingdom of God volume 2  Pages 52-56 And he [a Hebrew slave] said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? (Ex. 2:14)  Some men become kings by inheriting a throne; others have money to buy the office; still others manage to kill off all competitors. Then there are those who are born to become a king by divine right, chosen in the pre-mortal state to become prophets, priests and kings on earth. Such was the case with Moses.  The royal lineage for the Priesthood and Kingdom of God came down through great prophets to Moses. The people at his time were unorganized, uninspired and serving as slaves. The land of Egypt was ruled by a wicked Pharaoh. He was probably not acquainted with the history of Joseph who once lived and ruled in Egypt. After 400 years, the history of Joseph had been forgotten—even by the children of Israel.  Although the children of Israel were entitled to bear the rights of the Holy Priesthood (the right to rule on the earth), they did not even remotely resemble Godly priests and kings.  And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour; And they made their lives bitter with bondage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. (Ex. 1:13-14) http://ogdenkraut.com/?page_id=139
