The Woman That Saved The World As We Know It

What woman single handedly saved the Jewish race? What woman single handedly saved our forefathers and their children? Michelle Obama? Heck no, I am talking about Pharaoh’s daughter. The one that pulled Moses out of the nile river. Exodus 2: 5-10 says, 5 Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said.

7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”

8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying, “I drew him out of the water.” 

What does this have to do with saving history as we know it? Well…if Moses had not liberated the Jews from Egypt in about 1333 B.C. (Before Christ) then one of three things MAY have happened. 

First, the Jews may have been killed by the Egyptians when they grew in number so much that the Egyptians would not have been able to control them anymore. After all that’s why they were enslaved in the first place right? The bible says that the Jews were enslaved by the Egyptians when they grew in number enough that Pharaoh grew scared that they would take over Egypt. 

Second, the Jews would have grown in number to an extent where they over ran Egypt and just took over and Egypt today would be completely different from the Egypt we know today. 

Third, the Jews would have attempted escape on their own and either been massacred by the Egyptians or they would have escaped and scattered all over the world. 

Hopefully you can agree with me that Pharaoh’s daughter even though we do not know her name was singlehandedly one of the most, if not the most influential woman in the history of the world.
