December 18, 2011 – Deuteronomy 33 - 34

Here we have the end of Moses. I had always thought that he had gone up the mountain and never come down, but here it says that they saw him die and buried him, it’s just that no one knows where. You wonder what Moses was thinking at the end. Was he upset that he wasn’t going in or did he understand why he couldn’t. How much about the future did he know or understand. Did he know what the people would do, or had he just spoken the words God gave him without really understanding. Did he know much about Christ or that they would meet on a mountain. Had they already met during the time God spent with Moses. Did he die smiling knowing of the coming savior or sad knowing the failure of his people in the future. God spent so much time with him, you would think he would have full faith in God’s plan
