Bible Question: Why did Michael and Saten fight over Moses body? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
