‏ Nehemiah 9:10

The LORD Is a Redeemer

God sees all that men do to His people, and He hears their cries to Him (Exo 3:7). He is closely involved in all that is done to His people and all that is going on in them. He acts both for the benefit of His people and in judgment against their enemies. Thus He has delivered His people out of their misery, then accompanied and cared for them along the way, and finally brought them into the land of promise.

God is a God of salvation and victory. In order to free His people, He has made His judgment fall upon Pharaoh and his people. These are “signs and wonders” (Neh 9:10) for the Israelites. For them they are proof that God stands up for them in order to deliver them. He offers His people a way of escape where they had thought to perish. But His people were saved there while the enemies perish.
