Deuteronomy 32: 48 And the Lord spoke unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, 49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession.
Here we go again with the sacred utterances of the scriptures, as it pertains to Moses. The Bible says specifically that Moses did not experience most of the natural aging processes that we have become accustomed to. Moses’ hair became gray, according to the servant of The Lord, but other than that, Moses did not lose strength as he aged, nor was his sight affected with the passage of time.
According to science, as we know it, one’s vision usually deteriorates with the passage of time, thus, requiring glasses, or contact lenses as the case may be. Age related macular degeneration is the gradual loss of central vision. Objects may seem blurry, and shapes may seem distorted, and most persons lose their ability to see up close.
Also, the conventional wisdom on the natural aging processes is inclusive of cognitive decline, shrinking of muscle tissues, and the gradual waning of one’s life forces in general, together with feebleness, and an innate fear of heights, according to the Bible. But apparently, most of these changes did not apply to Moses, for he was able to climb Mt Nebo, all by himself at 120 years of age, a feat that many folks in their prime may be hard-pressed to accomplish in our day.
Deuteronomy 34:1 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
