3. Both were miraculously saved from death while babies (Exod. 2:1-3; Matt. 2:6)

4. Both were reared by daughters of the Kingly line (Exod. 2:5-8; Luke 1:30-33).

5. Both were brought up in homes of men who were not their fathers (Acts 7:21-22; Matt. 1:18-25)

A great work was specifically delegated to Moses, for which he was particularly commissioned by the Almighty God, viz., to erect and organize a Theocratic government, in this Jesus will follow his footsteps, and evidence the same work, only on a much grander scale. This work has been postponed unto the Son of Man's Second Advent.
