Deuteronomy 34 narrates Moses' death and the transfer of command to Joshua. Moses died 120, but his vision was not weakened and he was still full of vigor. The chapter highlights the greatness of Moses as the leader of Israel and as a prophet of the Lord. It also emphasizes God's faithfulness to fulfill his promises and the importance of leadership to guide God's people.
Joshua 1:1-2: "After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, said the Lord to Joshua, son of Num, helper of Moses: Moses, my servant, has died; , you and all this people, to the earth that I give to the children of Israel. " This verse begins the book of Joshua, which continues the story of Israel after the death of Moses. This shows the transfer of leadership and the continuation of Israel's history under Joshua's leadership.
2 Kings 2:9: "It succeeded, when they passed and spoke, that a car of fire, with horses of fire, separated them from each other; and Elijah climbed into the sky in a whirlwind." This verse narrates Elijah's rise to heaven, which is similar to that of Moses in Deuteronomy 34. Both events highlight the importance of God's leadership and the continuity of God's work.
Nehemiah 8:1: "Then all the people gathered as one man in the square before the gateway; and they said to Ezra, the scribe, which brought the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded Israel . " This verse shows how Moses' law was still important to God's people, even after his death. Moses was a great leader who guided Israel on the path of justice and obedience to God.
John 1:17: "For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." This verse emphasizes the importance of Moses as leader and prophet, as well as the transition to the New Age of grace and truth in Jesus Christ. Moses established the law, but grace and truth came through Jesus.
Acts 7:55-56: "But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, stared at heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus, who was at the right of God, and said, I see the open heavens and the Son of man in Foot to the right of God. " This verse shows how Moses' death did not mark the end of divine communication with humanity. The Holy Spirit was present in Stephen and showed him the glory of God and Jesus.
