Moses was a type (a picture) of Christ (Acts 3:22; cf. Deut. 18:15, 18; also Acts 7:35), and in that capacity he "delivered" (saved) Israel ("the Church in the wilderness" --τῇ ἐκκλησιìᾳ ἐν τῇ ἐρηìμῳ) from bondage in Egypt (a picture of the sinful world). But national Israel rejected their deliverer and desired to turn back to Egypt (Acts 7:39), just as many professing Christians in the visible church today desire to return to the world.
