In many scriptures the Lord compares the deliverance of His people from Egypt, with the final deliverance of His saints. As a sample see Ezekiel 20:35-37. One feature that was connected with the deliverance of Israel, is mentioned by the prophet Hosea when he says, “By a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.” Hosea 12:13. So if there is a similarity in the last deliverance to that from Egypt, we may look for the gift of prophecy to be connected with the preparation for the deliverance. PGGC 26.1
