The Fifth Book of Moses Called Deuteronomy
Chapter 34

The Death of Moses Bible Explanation
Moses Death on Mt Nebo Bible Truth

Nice to have you here to share the study of the last chapter of the last book of Moses, Deuteronomy. After Moses gave his blessing to the children of Israel, and glory to God, he went up into Mt. Nebo and God showed him all of the Promised Land, from one end to the other. Moses died there and God buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, but to this day, no one knows where.

Moses was 120 years old when he died. He still had strong health and clear eyesight. Just think about that for a moment. Moses started his service to the Lord when he was 80 years old! Most people at age 40 would wince at the thought of roughing it through a weekend camp-out without electricity and indoor plumbing, yet Moses led 600,000 people ... Rebellious people ... Through the wilderness for 40 years!

It's such a remarkable thing, I've just got to repeat it again ... He began at age 80! Oh, and did I mention that he led the army of Israel in battle during that time, or that all the big problems that arose among those 600,000 people were brought to him for solutions? No, my friends, this wasn't your usual trip to the park kind of adventure ... This was a monumental undertaking.

Moses Death on Mt Nebo Bible Story

Moses was a hero. many people were jealous of him and God destroyed them because of it. He was once just an ordinary person but he was special to God, and God chose Moses and used him and made a great man of God out of him.

If you scoured history, you'd be hard pressed to find many who did as good a job serving the Lord with as much adoration, sincerity, generosity, fervor, grace and humility as the man Moses.

The children of Israel mourned the death of Moses for thirty days, and Joshua, who was given the spirit of wisdom that Moses had, led the children of Israel into the Promised Land following Moses' death.
