Kabbalah zu Schemot 5:78
Zohar
Come and see, It is written, "And Elohim spoke to Moses" (Shemot 6:1). This alludes to the decree of Judgment that is looming over him. It is written before, "And Moses returned to Hashem, and said, Adonai" (Shemot 5:22) spelled Aleph Dalet Nun Yud. See the strength of Moses, as soon as he started prophesying, his spirit did not rest at this place. He said, "Adonai, why have You dealt ill with this people? why is it that You have sent me? for since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered your people at all" (Ibid. 22-23). Who talks like this? Only Moses who knew that a another, higher level was intended for him, because he was a Chariot to Zeir Anpin, which is the husband of Queen.

Zohar
We should have a closer look at this verse, now. It is written: "All the nations are as nothing before Him" (Isaiah 40:17). What is so special about this? He answers Rather, "Who would not fear You, O King of the nations?" (Jer. 10:7) is He the King of the other nations, and not the King of Yisrael?! The Holy One, blessed be He, wishes to be glorified by Yisrael. Therefore, He is always called in relation to the name of Yisrael, as is written, "Elohim of Yisrael," "Elohim of the Hebrews" (Ex. 5:3). Also it is written: "Thus says Hashem, the King of Yisrael" (Isaiah 44:6) - the King of Yisrael explicitly! The other nations of the world said, We have a different Guardian up in the heavens, because your King governs over you alone, and not over us.
