“And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no man knows his [Moses’] burial place to this day.” (Deuteronomy 34:6)
God buried Moses and hid the body. This fascinating detail is referenced in the book of Jude when we are told Michael, the archangel, argued with the devil over possession of the body of Moses (see Jude 1:9). There is much left unanswered about this debate, and we, the readers, are left wondering why God hid the body and why the devil wanted it. We can hypothesize, but the Bible gives no answers. The details are left unknown to us.
Here is what we can know. The spiritual realm is deeply interested in the goings on of man. Moses’ life and death drew the attention of archangel and Satan alike. The great and mighty spiritual forces at work in the heavenly places were fixated upon the events of an earthly life.
Our lives have eternal impact. How we live, especially in respect to our faith in and glorification of Jesus, makes a difference. Who knows what heavenly host is watching your actions today! Live like your faith makes a difference.
