The Lord tells Moses to go to the top of a mountain so that he can see the land that God is giving them. Finally, after years of wandering the in the wilderness the Israelites are about to enter their new home... but Moses doesn't get to come in.
The Lord tells Moses that there upon that mountain he will die. Moses has been a faithful servant for 40 years but he doesn't get to enter the promised land, the land of milk and honey.
Instead he is "gathered with his people."
It is a vision of heaven given from God. When we die, we go to be with the loved ones that have gone before us.
Is God being mean or not? I am having a hard time deciding.
Milk and honey is great, but I think I'd rather go be with my grandma.
