Moses, the Servant of G-d

The Scholars have gathered once again and are now telling us that Moses the servant of G-d did not die on the mountain but rather was killed by one of the Israelites.

Weighing on the balances of these cynics is the assault on G-d’s character declaring his injustice after all, Moses served G-d so faithfully and all he did was hit a rock.

However, Moses and Aaron’s sin was unbelief. Worse than their countrymen, they did not give G-d the glory and projected unbelief, Numbers 20: 11,12.

G-d’s mercy allowed Moses to view the Promised Land in all four directions; Deut. 34:1-4, but it doesn’t end there. Matthew 17:3 tells us Moses appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration with Elijah and Jesus. So in his glorified state he was in the Promised Land that , in his earthly body, he could only view.

Further, we are told at the time of Moses’ death his eyes had not failed nor had his strength diminished even though he was 120 years old, Deut 34:7.

I do believe had Moses been killed by a follower, the scriptures would have declared it. This most recent attack on the scriptures’ veracity shows man’s failing.

G-d’s grace cannot be measured by man’s finite thinking and although Moses sinned, G-d still showed his favor, and we need not try to rewrite the scriptures when we don’t comprehend something.
