Deuteronomy 3:25 I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. 26 But the Lord was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the Lord said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.
[4S.G pp 57] If he had continued faithful, and his life had not been marred with that one transgression, in failing to give to God the glory of bringing water from the rock, he would have entered the promised land, and he would have been translated to Heaven without seeing death. Michael or Christ, with the angels that buried Moses came down from Heaven, after he had remained in the grave a short time, and resurrected him, and took him to Heaven.
As Christ and the angels approached the grave, Satan and his angels appeared at the grave, and were guarding the body of Moses, lest it should be removed. As Christ and his angels drew nigh, Satan resisted their approach, but was compelled, by the glory and power of Christ and his angels to fall back. Satan claimed the body of Moses, because of his one transgression; but Christ meekly referred him to his Father, saying, “The Lord rebuke thee.”
Another instance when God saw fit to give persons assurance about the resurrection is when Jesus had come from the tomb on the first day of the week. At that time God raised many dead people and He also sent them into the city, so that the disciples’ faith and ours would have facts to stand on. It was necessary for God to do this at this specific time because the hope of many disciples had grown quite dim, with the crucifixion, and death of Jesus.
Deuteronomy 3:27 Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
