Moses, the deliverer and Prophet of God to Israel, performed great signs and wonders. His leadership of YeHoVaH’s armies struck terror into the hearts of nations. Moses, whom YeHoVaH spoke to face to face, on several occasions prayed to God on Israel’s behalf and prevented YeHoVaH from destroying Israel because of their rebellion. After forty years of wandering in the vast wilderness and waging war with the armies of kings and nations on their way to the Land of Promise, that which Moses wanted from YeHoVaH, more than anything else, was denied.
