Plz help me understand how Moses knew anything about “for the sake of Christ”, and what reward he was looking for?

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Hebrews:11:24
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Hebrews:11:25
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Hebrews:11:26
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews:11:27
He valued being an outcast from Egyptian society as being worth it in order to be faithful to God, because he, like all God's people, looked forward to the day when righteousness and life would prevail over sin and death. All that God is, and all of God's Plan for His people, is understood by Paul to be contained and represented by Christ. So that the faith of the Patriarchs is, for him, faith in Christ.
See
1 Cor 10, for example.
