Moses my servant is dead;
Joshua 1:2
SOLEMN words from God to Joshua when you think about it.....
What does death entail? .... For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, Ecclesiastes 9:5

| Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15 |
But Moses was a "type" of Christ, as was Joshua.
Like Christ, Moses would be raised from the dead & Joshua (Greek form is Jesus) like Christ would lead the people into the promised land.
Yet Michael the archangel,
when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Jude 1:9
