The death, burial and resurrection of Moses are in view, today. Also, there is more on what GOD demands from humans. A “Yahoo! Answers” writer using the ID “mohammad” (a Level 1 member with 95 points active since May 11, 2014) posted the following:
Is the body of Moses was taken up by God ?
THE BATTLE AXE: What GOD Demands (05/10/2014)—(4.) It is in the nature of relationship that GOD is no more demanding of humanity than humanity is demanding of GOD. Just as the dimension, the nature, and the quality of material objects focus and limit how they may be used as tools or weapons as well as how long they endure and display value, created beings and living creatures, the conditions and spheres for their existence, and the operations and processes for their exchanges and interactions have been established and generated in accordance with aspects of divinity. All that is must have place within, and respond to, such frameworks for being as divine order, eternal purpose, and spirit makeup. Boundaries are not imposed on an arbitrary, random, or subjective basis. Restraints and restrictions are imposed only to allow and provide such benefits as balance, change, completeness, definition, direction, fertility, growth, opportunity, prosperity, protection, revelation, safety, and vision. It is an aspect of divine integrity within relationship that humans are not asked to serve as though they were angels. Thus, self-generated expression for mankind is to be maintained. Moreover, the peculiar beauty and strength of mankind are also established through humanity’s dependence, infirmity, and vulnerability. Even so, the expressed will of GOD as divine law and judgment are also to be maintained. Consider again the Scriptures: Psalms 127: 1-2, Psalms 149: 3-4, Jeremiah 9: 23-24, Ezekiel 18: 23, Matthew 11: 28-30, 1st Corinthians 10: 13 and Revelation 4: 11, KJV.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11: 4-6, KJV)

“mohammad”, here are a few points recorded in the Holy Bible:
(1.) The Scriptures report that Moses died in the land of Moab. Although he was 120 years old, he continued to show health and stamina (his natural force was not abated, or diminished). In obedience to GOD, Moses went up to Mount Nebo, and the top of Pisgah, and did not return to his people. Moses was not translated as was Enoch, nor taken up by a chariot of fire, as was Elijah. Later, Moses appeared as an evidence of resurrection from death.
(2.) A 30-day period of mourning was observed for Moses as if his body had been recovered, and as though he had been given the full rites of burial.
(3.) The Scriptures report that the archangel Michael disputed with the devil about the body of Moses, yet would not violently assault the Adversary.
(4.) The Scriptures report that in preparing for his crucifixion, Jesus went to the top of a mountain accompanied by three of his apostles. There, the Savior met with Moses and Elijah, and was transfigured before these eye-witnesses, who also heard the voice of the Father. While the miracle of water to wine was the first display of divine glory as power by Jesus, the transfiguration was the first bodily display of his divine glory.
There is a lot more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (5.) Where these things may be found: See Genesis 5, Deuteronomy 34, 2nd Kings 2, Jude 1, Matthew 17, and Mark 9, KJV.). Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. (Luke 20: 37-38, KJV)
