Deuteronomy 32-34

I took me 20 minutes to read this passage.  I wonder how long Moses spent writing down the blessing that he pronounced over Israel.  The blessing he offered was the last words we have of Moses.  We don’t know what he and God discussed as he climbed the mountain.  We don’t know the wonder in his voice as he looked over the promised land.  We don’t know if he even noticed that he had died.  Did he lie down and close his physical eyes and in the “blink of an eye” look upon the face of the one who’s back he had seen 40 years earlier.  I believe his response was like that when God met him at the bush; except this time there were no sandals on his feet.  He had been glorified by the blood of Jesus, in the heavenly temple he had seen in his vision on another mountain.  We don’t understand it all, but we do know this; Moses was lovingly obedient to the end of his life.  He surrender his will to the will of God with every step up that mountain.
