This mountain is located in present-day Jordan, and from its summit, one can see a vast expanse of the land of Canaan. This moment is significant as it fulfills God's promise to show Moses the land, even though he would not enter it. The distance signifies both physical and spiritual separation, highlighting the consequences of Moses' earlier disobedience at Meribah (<a href="/numbers/20-12.htm">Numbers 20:12</a>).<p><b>the land that I am giving the Israelites</b><br>The land mentioned is the land of Canaan, promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This promise is a central theme throughout the Pentateuch, representing God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His covenant. The land is described as "flowing with milk and honey," symbolizing abundance and blessing. This promise is reiterated in <a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a> and <a href="/exodus/3-8.htm">Exodus 3:8</a>, emphasizing its importance in Israel's history and God's redemptive plan.<p><b>you shall not enter it.”</b><br>This statement is a direct consequence of Moses' actions at Meribah, where he struck the rock instead of speaking to it as God commanded (<a href="/numbers/20-7.htm">Numbers 20:7-12</a>). It serves as a sobering reminder of the seriousness of disobedience to God's commands, even for a leader as revered as Moses. This moment also prefigures the ultimate fulfillment of the law through Jesus Christ, who, unlike Moses, perfectly obeyed the Father and leads believers into the true Promised Land of eternal life (<a href="/hebrews/4-8.htm">Hebrews 4:8-10</a>). Moses' inability to enter the land underscores the need for a greater mediator, which is fulfilled in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites who led them out of Egypt and through the wilderness.
