‏ Deuteronomy 34:10

Moses, the Prophet Without Equal

This last chapter was not written by Moses. Joshua will have been used for this. Under the guidance of God’s Spirit, Joshua depicts the life of Moses in just a few sentences in these last verses. Perhaps there is no one of the people who was aware as much as Joshua, what an extraordinary man Moses has been. Joshua has experienced Moses from very close by and for a very long time.

In these last words about Moses his failure is not mentioned. The place of Moses has been completely unique among the people of God. His fellowship with God has also been unique (Deu 34:10; Exo 33:11a; Num 12:8a). His service to us is great because of his presentation of the blessings of the land and the place the LORD has chosen to make his Name dwell.

Moses has been faithful in all God’s house (Heb 3:1-6). He is a picture of the Lord Jesus, the perfect faithful One, not only in the house of God, but as Son over the house. Moses wrote about Him (Jn 5:46). Therefore the Lord Jesus far exceeds this excellent man of God.
