cyndejo Hi and welcome to the forum. We are not given this answer in the Bible. However I will offer an opinion. If Satan could have gotten Moses' body he probably would have made the Israelites aware of it's location. Knowing their love for Moses they probably would have retrieved the body and enshrined it. Over time I think they would have fallen into a worship of that body. It would have become an idol. Much like the shroud of Turin has become to some. Only this would have occurred on a much larger scale. Therefore God kept Satan away and the location of the burial a secret. EdB |

EdB, You are right about the danger of them idolizing his tomb. They had, after all, idolized the bronze serpent that God had Moses to set up. By the way, could this scripture be related? Zechariah 3 1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. 2And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" It just sounds very simular to Jude 1:9. Pastor Glenn |

pastor glenn, with all due respect, I know this note of your is not for me but I would like to clarify some things that you mentioned. You write"You are right about the danger of them idolizing his tomb. They had, after all, idolized the bronze serpent that God had Moses to set up." I would like to strike on "idolized the bronze serpent" I dont think they idolize the bronze serpent. As we all know that "idolatry: is everything you put higher than God. It is God commanded moses to make that bronze serpent, moses make it not for himself but from the authority from God, I dont think we call that Idolatry. I would like to put here the commandments against I dolatry: Ex 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Ex 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; God specify how idolatry is"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:" thou shall not bow them nor serve them" I dont think israelites serve that "serpent" aside from the fact that God commanded moses to do those things, if you are moses I know you will do the same thing follow God word, and I dont think we call that idolatry. That is my clarification, I think if we call that idolatry, it is the same thing that we say God contradict himself by tolerated and commanded such a thing as "idolatry" God bless, Johnny Nu 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. |

Johnny, This is not generally known: 2 Kings 18:4 He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image[18:4 Hebrew [Asherah, ] a Canaanite goddess] and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.[ Literally [Bronze Thing] ] At a later time, they had turned what God used for deliverence into an idol. I was surprised to learn of this a few years ago in Sunday School lesson study. Pastor Glenn |
