As the Lord drives Pharaoh to drive the Egyptian nation to the brink of starvation, gradually a new hope for the Egyptian people begins to emerge.

The third cycle of judgement ends in darkness. Having completed the uncreation process, God prepares Egypt for his last act in the great drama.

Before the final judgement begins, God commissions Moses to build a new ark of salvation — but in a strange new form.

The choice God has been preparing for the peoples of Egypt is finally revealed: will they stay back and die, or will they follow Moses and live?

As the exodus from Egypt gets underway, God pauses to explain the last few centuries of symbolism to his people, so they will know better how to trust as they follow him into the wilderness.

The final judgement on Egypt arrives. But even as the empire sinks down into the depths, God sends a wind over the earth, the water recedes, and a new creation is revealed.

Moses and his people pause on the shore of the Red Sea, taking a moment to celebrate what just happened and rejoice in what is to come.
