It is the day, Everyone is Shown Who The God, The Only GOD, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth.
That is a big idea, but just for a few moments, let us stop and consider what was shown in the first 24 chapters of Exodus.
I will show you all of the references later, but for know we are going to attempt to grasp the information first.
Prior to the Book of Exodus, how many people knew the GOD Of Abraham, GOD Of Isaac, GOD Of Jacob, at any point in time? Well at the beginning, in the Garden in Eden, everybody knew GOD, for there were only two people. Adam and Eve knew GOD. The ALMIGHTY visited HIS children, even after leaving the Garden, The LORD was known to the people, if they wanted to know HIM. But, even having access to the Creator, did not make people care about each other, and they could live for hundreds of years. Still they where so bad, that the LORD decided to start over with four men and four wives. HE destroyed the Earth with Water.
The LORD gave the survivors a few rules, as they actually obeyed, HIS commend to build the ark, to save themselves and some animals. Even now it would seem to me, that these could keep the few rules and be holy. Instead, they were corrupt almost from the very first, after leaving the Ark. The LORD this time did not make HIMSELF known to everyone as before and HE shortened life expectancy to about 120 years. The majority became evil again, and rebelled again.
So from the time of the Ark and the Flood, a hand full of people knew the ALMIGHTY. Next the LORD selects Abram and Sara, who are 75 and 65 years old, without children and no hope of there being children. The LORD makes a few promises to Abram to get him to leave the country along with his family and friends. From Abram and Sara until the Exodus from Egypt, that would be from the year 2023(Earth time) until 2704(Earth time) no more than a dozen people at a time appear possess any knowledge of the CREATOR. The main actors which seem to have had interaction with THE LORD GOD are: Abram(became Abraham), Sara(became Sarah) his wife, Pharaoh at the Time of Abram, Lot Abraham nephew(via Angels), Hagar(via Angels), Melchizedek king of Salem, Abimelech king of Gerar, Isaac, Rebecca(via Angel), Abimelech king of the Philistines at the time of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph his son was blessed by the LORD(without discussion with Joseph. That is Genesis, and it appears that none talk with the ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH, save Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, until Moses in 2704(Earth Time).
So that brings us up to Egypt. Now we have Moses and Aaron, where Moses speaks with the LORD and is for all intense and purpose is GOD to everybody and Aaron is Moses’s Prophet. From these two, the Hebrew Elders are told about The ALMIGHTY and the plan. Saying the WORD OF GOD and Working wonders before Egypt, Pharaoh, and his courtiers. Other peoples, nations and travelers doing business with Egypt also hear about this GOD, the wonders and the Hebrews. We have come from a very few people that have heard of the GOD Of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to tens of Millions of people have heard.
Today in 2018 C.E. or 5998(Earth Time), most every nation on earth has heard something or other about the Living GOD OF ISRAEL/ISHRAEL. Why? If for no other reason than what THE LORD DID WHEN HE TOOK THE Children of Jacob out from the Land of Egypt, with a Mighty Hand, an Outstretched Arm and Great Substance 3294 years ago. So how many have heard something about OUR GOD, tens of Billions of people. More than a handful at a time.
I can not answer for you, nor would I want to try. However, for myself, this is another WONDER of the Wisdom, Power and GLORY of MY GOD, for I stand in AWE of the LIVING GOD OF ISHRAEL/ISRAEL. Hallelujah!!

Last thought: The ONE who said “Let There Be Light” and it was so, could at anytime, with none the wiser or being able to speak against say “Lights Out” and the Universe will cease to be. There must be some reason HE keeps the lights on and continues to give us a chance to live, to choose and to find our Father.

My prayer is that The LORD grant you eyes that see, ears that hear and an understanding heart, then you return unto HIM soon!(Isaiah 6: 9 And He said: ‘Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.’)
