I’ve always liked Jewish celebrations, God Bless Israel and all innocent Christians in Palestine and elsewhere. Please God give them peace and a victory
I read the entire bible this year and throughout the Old Testament many of the Jewish Warriors and leaders did not do what God told them to do, which was to Kill all the Phillistines, and others.That might be the reason for the problems today.
As I read from Moses and he obeyed God’s command for 40 years except when one time. When the Tribes were finally across the Jordan River from the Promised Land, the people were thirsty and once again blaming God of trying kill them by thirst. God told Moses as he came to the people, “Moses hit the rock“once” with you staffand the rock will open with gushing fresh water, to give them water to drink”.
Now the people tortured Moses 40 years with their whining and blaming God for taking them out Egypt, trying to kill them, blah, blah, blah, the sheer ingratitude was continuous.
So this last time, God when he him to hit the rock once to give them water, when the people saw Moses they “started wailing and complaining about God and he wanted them to die”.
At this point after 40 years and being across the river of the Promised Land, Moses for the first time in 40 years, got very angry andhit the rock twice with his staff, instead of once, and that was the only time Moses disobeyed God!
For that, God said to Moses for that you cannot cross the river and enter the Promised Land. God gave more instructions to Moses for a couple of days for the 12 tribes to split up the lands, how they were to be laud out, etc etc etc. Very detailed as everything that God told Moses was.
So close to the day the tribes were to cross over, God told Moses it was time for him to die that day. He was to go up the mountain, meet God and die, see below:
The Death of Moses
34 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the Lord showed him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan, 2 all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea, 3 the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said,‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it.”
5 AndMoses the servant of the Lord died therein Moab, as the Lord had said.
6He buried him[a] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is.
7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died,yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.
8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.
9 Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit[b]of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.
10Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
11 who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials-and to his whole land.
12 For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
Anons, don’t feel sorry for Moses, God did him a favor, if he was s 120 years old still full of strength, and he went to promised land the complaining would have continued. Plus I personally believed God planned this and Moses ascended that day, but no one saw it.
