@Charlie24. I have created a thread in this forum which you had posted on another thread which I created. I think that this post deserves it's own thread and further investigation.
This is probably not what you're looking for in this thread, but it does provide insight to not realizing what you're reading, although you've read it many times. In other words, hidden truths not easily recognized.
Most think that Moses was denied entry into the Promised Land because he took the glory from God in supplying the water. That is true to a point. But what Moses did, not meaning to, was a very serious sin, that concerned the Cross of Christ. Nevertheless, God could not overlook this grievous sin, not even for the great Law-giver himself.
Paul tells us in 1 Cor. 10:4 "that Rock was Christ." The Rock was a type of Christ that represented what he would do at Calvary to redeem fallen man. The theologians say that the water from that Rock was the source of the Holy Spirit given to man through, and by the means of the sacrifice of Christ, in which the Rock represented.
Earlier in Rephidim, Moses was told to smite the Rock for the water, and he did. That smiting of the Rock represented Christ struck down to bear the sins of humanity. Later in Kadesh the people again had no water, God told Moses to speak to the Rock, but Moses angry with the people struck the Rock, which represented that Christ must be struck down again, meaning His sacrifice was not good enough for the redemption of man. This God could not overlook, and Moses was denied entrance.
There are so many bible passages that we may have read many times but not necessarily noticed it's significance.
My neighbor came over a few days ago and while in a conversation about my overgrown grapevine that was slowly creeping over to his property, he mentioned a story in the bible where Moses was noted to be the only person in the bible that God had personally buried.
Of course I had to hunt that verse down. Deuteronomy 34:5-7. What is your impression on this verse?..
and please read the passages surrounding it so that it is in context. Blessed!
