  Speaker 1: Why was Moses's body never found? This is one of
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the questions that defies time and has been debated for centuries.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: The mystery behind Moses's story transcends what was revealed in
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Bible. There are secrets and truths that remain hidden,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: at least until today. In this video, we will explore
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the narrative of Moses and all the mysteries surrounding this
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: intriguing and miraculous character. Moses stands as one of the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: most notable protagonists in the entire Bible, and perhaps in
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: all of human history. His actions and words left an
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: indelible mark on history in a profoundly positive way. Chosen
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: by God to emancipate the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: guide them to the promised land of Canaan, and teach
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: them divine law, Moses played a crucial role. His story
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is meticulously recorded in the Pentateuch, the first five books
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of the Bible, with a focus on Exodus, the second
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: book of Moses, covering his birth, prophetic calling, and the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: liberation of the children of Israel from Egypt. Exodus narrates
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: an incredible saga, the greatest escape in history, in which
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: more than two million slaves fled from one of the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: most fortified nations in the world. This narrative is filled
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with miracles, including the most renowned ones in the Sacred Book.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Leading this historic moment was Moses, a man who witnessed
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: more miracles than Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob combined, in addition
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to the miracles that occurred when God intervened on behalf
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of his people. Some of these events may seem magical,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: such as the transformation of Moses's staff into a serpent. However,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: most of these events were clearly a manifestation of divine
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: power over creation for the benefit of his people. Moses's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: journey is filled with examples like these. Let's delve into
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the details of Moses's entire journey until his death. Moses
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: was born in a challenging period for his people. The Israelites,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: who had lived in Egypt for centuries, initially settled there
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: during the rule of Joseph, an ancestor of Moses, who
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: had been governor of Egypt. The Israelites went from a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: privileged life to slavery under the rule of the Egyptian pharaohs.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: To face this challenge, the pharaoh ordered the massacre of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: all Israelite children. Fearing the rapid growth of the population,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Moses's family was determined to save him from death. Initially,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: they hid him, but soon they realized the need for
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a different plan. Moses remained hidden for three months, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: when they could no longer keep him a secret, his
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: mother placed him in a papyrus basket and hid him
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: among the reeds at the banks of the Nile while
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: his sister watched from afar. The child was found by
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the daughter of Pharaoh Ramses the second, who was bathing
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in the river. The sister of the child offered to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: find a nurse for him, and his own mother was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: chosen to nurse him. After growing up, the young man
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: was returned to Pharaoh's daughter, who called him Moses and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: raised him as a noble in a prosperous environment. Thanks
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to this dramatic situation, the son of an Israelite slave
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was raised as a prince in Egypt. Despite his status
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and luxurious lifestyle, Moses always maintained a connection to his
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: roots and sympathized with his enslaved Israelite compatriots. Before we continue,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: tell me are you enjoying the story and would you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: like to discover more mysteries of the Bible. If the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: answer is yes, subscribed to the channel to receive all
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the stories and secrets of the Bible. Time passed, Moses
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: became an adult, and one day he witnessed an Egyptian
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: bruce utally mistreating a Hebrew slave. Outraged by this injustice
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and cruelty, Moses took control of the situation and, thinking
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: no one was watching, killed the Egyptian and buried the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: body in the sand to hide the evidence. The next day,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: while Moses was out again, he witnessed two Hebrew slaves
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: fighting each other, trying to intervene and separate them. One
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of them turned to Moses and asked if he planned
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to kill him as he had done with the Egyptian.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Moses immediately realized that the news of his impulsive actions
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: from the previous day had spread, and he feared for
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: his life. It didn't take long for Pharaoh to retaliate
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: against Moses for the murder of the Egyptian. Moses fled
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to the desert, becoming a fugitive from justice. Thus Moses
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: lived in the wilderness in the land of Midian. After
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: some time, seven daughters of a prince and priest of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Midian went to fetch water for their father's flocks, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in doing so were driven away by local shepherds. Moses intervened,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: driving away the shepherds and offering water to the women's flocks.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Upon learning of his heroism, their father invited Moses for
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a meal and rewarded him with the hand of one
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of his daughters, Zipperah, in marriage. Moses reinvented himself as
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a shepherd, married Zipporah, started a family, and lived happily
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: for many years. One day, while tending to his sheep,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Moses noticed a burning and mysterious bush. God spoke through it,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: commanding Moses to leave his peaceful life in the desert,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: returned to Egypt and free the Israelites from slavery. The
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Lord revealed that he had witnessed the oppression of his
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: people in Egypt, heard their cries before the taskmasters, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: understood their suffering. In response, he decided to free them
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: from the hands of the Egyptians, leading them to a
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: fertile land flowing with milk and honey, the land of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Parizites, Hivites, and Jebusites. At the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Age of eighty, Moses confronted Pharaoh, who refused to release
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the Israelites. Faced with Pharaoh's obstinacy, Moses unleashed ten plagues
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: upon Egypt. The water of the Nile turned into blood,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: an invasion of frogs, a plague of lice and flies,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: death of livestock, the emergence of boils, a hailstorm, a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: locust invasion, darkness, and finally, the death of all Egyptian
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: first borns. Only after these events did Pharaoh agree to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: release the Hebrews. As Moses led his people toward the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Promised Land, Pharaoh changed his mind and ordered his troops
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to pursue them. However, Moses parted the waters of the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Red Sea with his staff. Once the Israelites crossed, the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: sea closed, swallowing Pharaoh's forces. Upon reaching the foot of
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Mount Sinai, Moses ascended to the mountain top and received
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the two tablets with the Ten Commandments, along with a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: series of laws that began to govern relations among men.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: For forty years, they wandered in the wilderness until the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: entire generation of slaves died, allowing only those born in
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: freedom to enter the Promised Land. The Bible meticulously details
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the odyssey of the Israelites, events that would shape humanity
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: for centuries. When Moses passed from the plains of Moab
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to Mount Nebo on the summit of Pisgah, facing Jericho,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the Lord showed him all the land and said, this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: saying I will give it to your descendants. I show
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: it to you with your eyes, but you shall not
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: enter it Deuteronomy thirty four four. Moses faced various trials
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: in his leadership in the desert. The Israelites were an
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: undisciplined and ungrateful group, often complaining despite repeated evidence of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: divine care for their needs. They needed clear and effective instructions.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: After a military victory over the Amalekites, they camped at
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the foot of Mount Sinai, where God delivered the Ten
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Commandments to Moses, written with his own finger on two
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: stone tablets. While Moses was on the mountain, the Israelites
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: made a golden calf statue to worship. Upon returning to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the camp and witnessing the idolatrous behavior, Moses became furious,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: smashing the stone tablets with the ten commandments. Moses went
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: up the mountain again to plead with God to forgive
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the Israelites. Following divine instructions, Moses had to carve new
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: tablets with the ten Commandments. He stayed on the mountain
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: for forty days, fasting, praying, and dialoguing with God. Upon
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: finally descending from the mountain, the people were terrified because
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: his face radiated the light of divine glory. Moses was
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: an extraordinary leader, passing away while leading his people to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the promised Land of Canaan. Even today, Jews recognize him
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: as the lawgiver of Israel. However, despite all his blessings,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Moses's entry into the Promised Land was denied. You must
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: be wondering why. In Deuteronomy thirty two, God explains the reason,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: because you trespassed against my word in the wilderness of Zin,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: when the congregation rebelled against me at the waters of Maraba.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You did not hallow me in the midst of the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: children of Israel. Yet you shall see the land before you,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: though you shall not enter the land which I am
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: giving to the children of Israel. God kept his promise
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and revealed to Moses the Promised Land, but he did
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: not allow him to enter the The incident at the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: waters of Marabah is recorded in numbers twenty. Near the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: end of their forty years of wandering, the Israelites reached
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the desert of Zin, where there was no water, and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the community revolted against Moses and Aarin. They fell prostrate
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: before God, and he instructed Moses and Arin to gather
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the assembly and speak to the rock from which water
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: would flow. Moses angered proclaimed before the assembly, here, now,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: you rebels, shall we bring water for you out of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: this rock Numbers twenty ten. He then struck the rock
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: twice with his staff, and water gushed out, as God
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: had promised. However, God immediately declared that, due to their
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: lack of faith and failure to honor His holiness, Moses
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and Aaron would not lead the children of Israel to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the promised land verse twelve. The punishment may seem severe,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: but upon closer examination of Moses's actions, several mistakes become evident.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: He disobeyed a direct order from God, who had instructed
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: him to speak to the rock, but Moses struck it
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: with his staff. Previously, in Exodus seventeen, God had instructed
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Moses to strike a rock to bring forth water, but
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the instructions varied. Here. God wanted Moses to trust him,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: especially after so many years of close relationship. Moses did
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: not need to use force. His simple obedience to God
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and trust in the fulfillment of the divine promise were sufficient. Furthermore,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Moses is credited with the act of bringing water, inquiring
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of the assembled people by the rock, shall we bring
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: water for you out of this rock numbers twenty. Moses
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: seemed to credit himself and Aaron with the miracle's merit,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: rather than attributing it to God. This public attribution of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: credit did not go unnoticed by God, who could not
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: let such an act go unp punished, expecting the Israelites
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: to understand divine holiness. The rock providing water is symbolized
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: in one Corinthian's ten as Christ the rock was struck
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in Exodus seventeen, just as Christ was crucified once Hebrews seven.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Moses's speech to the rock in numbers twenty could be
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: interpreted as a representation of prayer. Jesus was wounded once
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and continues to offer living water to those who pray
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in faith. However, when Moses struck the rock. In anger,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: he compromised the biblical typology and indeed symbolize the crucifixion
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: of Christ once again. The punishment imposed on Moses for
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: his disobedience, pride, and misrepresentation of Christ's sacrifice was severe.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: He was prevented from entering the Promised Land numbers twenty. Surprisingly,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: we do not witness Moses complaining about his punishment. Instead,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: he persisted in leading the people faith, honoring God in
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: his holiness. In his compassion, God invited Moses to Mount Nebo,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: where he revealed to his beloved prophet the Promised Land
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: before his passing Deuteronomy thirty four. The account of Moses's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: death remains one of the great mysteries of the Bible.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Although we know he died at the age of one
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty, his eyes did not weaken and his
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: strength did not fade. Moses was in his fullness when
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: called to the celestial dwelling. He ascended Mount Nebo, an
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: elevation of four thousand, five hundred feet, facing the challenges
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of old age with determination, Moses departed according to the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: word of the Lord, solitary but in peace. His tomb
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: was situated in the valley of the land of Moab
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: opposite Beth Piore, but to this day remains unknown. Moses
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: is unique in the Bible personally spared by God. This
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: divine act of concealing his tomb prevented it from becoming
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a place of worship, preserving the mystery surrounding his never
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: found body.
