Why did God command that Pharaoh let these slaves go?

Casual worship is a contradiction in terms.

No person ever comes into the immediate presence of a holy God in a cavalier manner.

You know the story, how the Jewish people had been enslaved under the tyranny of Pharaoh

and forced to make bricks even without straw.

And they were miserable and they cried and they wept and they groaned.

Until finally we read in the scriptures that God said,

I have heard the groaning of my people. And God then appeared in the Midianite wilderness to Moses.

You know the story, Moses.

Take off your shoes from off your feet for the ground we're on your standing is holy ground. And God gave the

command to Moses to go to the court of Pharaoh, the most powerful leader in the face of the globe.

And he went as a Midianite shepherd with the message from God and he, as you know the story,

Moses goes to Pharaoh with this message from God that says simply,

Let my people go.

Now for the rest of the story.

Why did God command that Pharaoh let these slaves go. Was it simply because God was acting to rescue

them from the misery of their experience in slavery.

Certainly that was an important element of it,

but it's not the rest of the story. It's not all of the story it's not all of the story that Moses was

commanded to speak to Pharaoh he said let my people go.

So, that is for the purpose of, that they may come to my mountain and worship me there.

Now that dramatic people who were rescued might come and worship God.
