Everything possible was done to Israel but they gone bad, so much so God categorically tells Moses," for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way."(Exod.33.3) God pardoned Moses "And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word."(Num.14.20). He was willing to be blotted out of the book bur it was not for him to even think of it. Who was Moses but as a stand-in for his Son who became poor in order to make us rich must similarly suffer loss. For this reason God did not allow Moses to enter the Promised land for his own failure for giving glory to God before the people, as well as on behalf of the people. So we need look at the promise of God, "And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest."( Exod. 33.14)
It was personal with regards to death to which we shall come by and by. We have an example for it. God chose Moses even before he was born and His grace was evident: the Holy Spirit presents Moses and Elias at the mount of transfiguration:(Mt.17.3) Moses was all along as a sanctified one,- among the 144,000 on mount Sion."These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.(Rev.14.1-4)
What is the world of the Spirit? It is called the Land of the living,"I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God otf Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."(Mt.22.32) Job's daughters though dead were present so in the latter half of Job God doubled whatever he suffered loss in the former, except in the case of daughters."(Job.42.12-15) Our understanding on death is coloured under law of sin and death but is not how the holy Spirit presents death. So Lazarus of Bethany though dead for four days already shall hear the call. While we study Israel under the kings we shall see it all the more clearly. In another post we shall examine them.
