The One and Only

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 buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: 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. And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 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.-Deuteronomy 34:1-12***Due to the incident at Meribah in Kadesh in the desert wilderness of Zin, the Lord God did not allow Moses to cross the Jordan River and step onto the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and their descendants. However, the Lord God allowed Moses to see the land, and throughout the years before Moses died, Moses saw:  

-a bush afire, yet not destroyed, and an angel of the Lord.

-Aaron, Moses' older brother, coming to Moses when Moses was in the region of Mount Horeb speaking with the Lord God.

-his Midianite wife Zipporah circumcise their son.

-the Israelites bow and worship the Lord God after Aaron spoke the words of the Lord God to them.

-the reactions of the Egyptians and the Israelites after Moses and Aaron spoke to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.

-the Lord God bring 10 plagues upon Egypt and the Egyptians.

-the Israelites put the blood of a lamb or goat on the upper post and side posts of their homes on the day of the last plague, the plague of death. 

-the Lord God going before the Israelites in a pillar of cloud during the day and in a pillar of fire during the night.

-the divinely parted Red Sea.

-manna, the bread from heaven that the Lord God rained down from heaven from the time the Israelites were in the desert wilderness of Sin until the 2nd day after the Israelites followed Joshua, Moses' successor, across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land and observed the Passover.

-Joshua and the Israelites defeat the Amalekites while Hur and Moses' older brother Aaron each held up 1 of Moses' hands.

-the semblance for the tabernacle and other sacred items that the Lord God commanded Moses to tell the Israelites to make.

-2 stone tablets whereupon were written, with the finger of God, the Testimony.

-the Israelites worshiping a golden calf that Aaron made.

-the glory of the Lord God.
