Deuteronomy 34

1 - 12 Moses' Departure and Epitaph

Moses goes to Mount Nebo and dies at the age of 120 (he still had good eyesight and "vigor." He was burried in a valley in the land of Moab, (but know one knows exactly where).

Joshua (full of the spirit of wisdom) does as the Lord commanded Moses.

Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. He was unequaled for all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to perfrom in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, and for all the mighty deeds and nd all the terrifying displays of power that Moses performed in the sign of all Israel (10 - 12).

Question of the Day: Name three things that Moses did.

Only Christ was greater than Moses in God's use of him on earth.
1. Moses chose to be God's son rather than Pharoah's. I believe that only the Holy Spirit could compel a man to give up heir to the mightest throne on earth.
2. Moses obeyed God's every command. He did question and challenge God but always obeyed. His temper and frustration with the people caused him to lose the reward of living in the promised land.
3. Moses brought us the foundation of our faith, particularly the Ten Commandments. He also (from God's instruction) established all customs, rituals, ceremonies, and festivals which are still recognized by Jews today.
