* Moses dies. Joshua is to lead the people into the promised land.


Deuteronomy 31:1-3    And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.  And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the Lord hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.  

The Lord thy God, HE will go over before thee, and HE will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the Lord hath said. 

6  Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, HE it is that doth go with thee; HE will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 

16  And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake ME, and break MY covenant which I have made with them. 

24-27  And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the Lord; and how much more after my death? 

29-30  For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke HIM to anger through the work of your hands. 

30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

Deuteronomy 34:1-5    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, And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. 

And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.  

So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.  And HE (God) buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. 

And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

Deuteronomy 34:9-12    And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses. 

And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.

What did Moses do?


Moses heard the Word of God and obeyed what God said to him. 

We are to do exactly the same thing.  We hear from God by HIS Spirit.  We know that by HIS Spirit we can know the will of God for us daily as we live on this present earth.  We obey what the Spirit of God shows us to do.  And we do the scriptures by the Spirit of God.

God has given us HIS Spirit. 

* The Holy Spirit teaches us all things.  John 14:26 

* The Holy Spirit reminds us of all Jesus has said to us.  John 14:26 

* The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth.  John 16:13 

* The Holy Spirit shows us things to come.  John 16:13
