I am not sure what period you call "the oppression" but in the time between the Old Testament and the New Testament (just before the New Testament time mainly ) the Jews were looking for the promised Messiah to come
Answer 2
The answer you are looking for is "the messiah."
However, your question is not entirely accurate. Judaism teaches the Jews to hope for the messiah during peaceful times as well as oppressive times (Talmud, Shabbat 31a).
Other information:
The word "messiah" is the transliterated form of the Hebrew "moshiach." The word moshiach means "anointed." The title of moshiach was given to any person who was appropriately anointed with oil as part of their initiation to their service of God. We have had a number of meshichim (plural) in the form of kings and priests. There need be nothing supernatural about a moshiach.
This being said, there is a prophecy of a future moshiach. However, this is a relatively minor topic in Judaism and the Tanakh.
The Jewish requirements of the messiah have not yet been fulfilled. They are:
* Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).
* Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).
* Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred and oppression. "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war any more" (Isaiah 2:4).
* Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. "God will be King over all the world. On that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).
* The messiah must be descended on his father's side from King David (Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1).
* The messiah will lead the Jewish people to full Torah-observance. The Torah states that all of its mitzvot (commands) remain binding forever.

How would a Jew react to a letter to meet with God?
Assuming that the letter was honest (as opposed to some practical joke), the majority of religious Jews would be ecstatic about the possibility of meeting God.

As for non-religious Jews, that entirely depends on how they view God and what they would want from God.

It was not so much a crucifixion of the Jews as a persecution. The Jews were persecuted by the Egyptians because they refused to accept the pagan religion that was being forced upon them.

After Moses set God's people free, the rest is history!
