Today,
reply is on accounts in the Bible indicating that Moses continued to
have favor with GOD, despite having been denied the privilege of
entering the land of Canaan. Moses did not appear as one having
place among divine fullness (i.e., divinity; the Godhead; the Father,
the Son, the Holy Spirit); and Moses was called to serve. There is no record that Moses was seen in
vision seated or standing at the right hand of GOD as was Jesus
Christ. Jesus used the parable in Luke of the rich man and the
beggar to endorse the prophetic ministry of Moses. When the rich man
asked that Lazarus be sent to warn his five brothers at home
declaring to father Abraham, if one went unto them from the dead,
they will repent. Jesus affirmed, If they hear not Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the
dead. Also, the Gospel of John declares that the law was given by
Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. It
is written: 2nd
Peter 1: 16-21, King James Version (KJV): 16 For we have not
followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the
power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of
his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and
glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice
which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy
mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do
well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any
private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by
the will of man: but holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy
Ghost. A fighter in “Yahoo! Answers” public forum on Religion &
Spirituality who uses the ID Tracy (Level 2 with 1,130 points) posted
the following:
Did
Moses die still having God's favor since he did not make it to the
Promised Land?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: And it came to pass about an eight days after these
sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a
mountain to pray. And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance
was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. And,
behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should
accomplish at Jerusalem. But Peter and they that were with him were
heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and
the two men that stood with him. And it came to pass, as they
departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us
to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and
one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. While
he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they
feared as they entered into the cloud. And there came a voice out of
the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. (Luke 9:
28-35, KJV)
THE
DOUBLE DAGGER: The Testimony From GOD (10/22/2019); Moses Was Not
Divine (04/24/2019); The Divinity of Peter? (01/21/2019); Holy Fire
From GOD? (04/27/2017); The Transfiguration of Christ (11/14/2016);
Anointed, Consecrated and Installed (08/04/2016); The Body of Moses
(05/11/2014); GOD Permits Evil? (05/12/2014)
“Tracy”,
the apostles of Jesus could have claimed they were eye-witnesses to
the forgiveness granted Moses, and the majestic love of GOD. Many
Christian believers trust that Moses continued to have favor with GOD
on the basis of the fact that, before his death, Moses was permitted
to see the features and qualities provided by GOD for Israel within
the Promised Land (e.g., the plains and prairie land; the hills and
valleys; the rushing streams and standing pools of water) just as
Moses was allowed to see the train of glory that followed GOD.
Others are convinced that Moses continued to find grace on the basis
of his appearing with the Prophet Elijah during the Transfiguration
of Jesus that provided further witness to Jesus as the Son sent from
the Father. As part of the vision revealing the Promised Land, we
also see Moses alive and receiving the fulfillment of his own
proclamations of a prophet who would come; for Moses was permitted to
acknowledge Jesus as the Prophet, Sceptre, and Star who would come,
raised up from among the brethren in the Transfiguration to reinforce
and strengthen the Lord for his trial, and death on the cross. In
his excitement and spiritual confusion from the scene, Peter
immediately acknowledged the divinity of Jesus and the two prophets
by proposing that three tabernacles be established at the spot so
that each one might be worshiped. Consider again the following that
uses language from the Bible, and the selection from the music
ministry of Wintley Phipps:
(1.)
Deuteronomy 18: 14-16, King James Version (KJV): 14 For these
nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times,
and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy
God hath not suffered thee so to do. 15 The LORD
thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of
thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; 16 According
to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in
Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the
voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this
great fire any more, that I die not.
(2.)
Numbers 24: 16-18, KJV: 16 He hath said, which heard the words of
God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the
vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his
eyes open: 17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but
not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall
rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy
all the children of Sheth. 18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir
also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do
valiantly.
(3.)
Romans 8: 29-31, KJV: 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he
might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did
predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31 What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can
be against us?
(4.)
Exodus 34: 28-35, KJV: 28 And he was there with the Lord forty
days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And
he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten
commandments. 29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from
mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’
hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the
skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron
and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his
face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. 31 And Moses
called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation
returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. 32 And afterward all
the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment
all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai. 33 And till
Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. 34 But
when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the
vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto
the children of Israel that which he was commanded. 35 And
the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’
face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he
went in to speak with him.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended (for example, (5.)

trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your
faith.
