This division highlights the stages of preparation, calling, and fulfillment in his life. The number 120 is also seen as a symbol of completion in biblical numerology. Moses' age at death reflects God's sovereign timing and the fulfillment of his mission. His life span is consistent with the longevity of other patriarchs, though it marks the end of an era as lifespans decrease in subsequent generations.<p><b>yet his eyes were not weak</b><br>This phrase indicates that Moses retained his physical strength and clarity of vision until his death. It suggests divine preservation and blessing, as diminished eyesight was common in old age. The preservation of his sight symbolizes spiritual insight and leadership ability, which Moses maintained throughout his life. It also underscores the miraculous nature of his life, as he was able to see the Promised Land from Mount Nebo, though he was not permitted to enter it.<p><b>and his vitality had not diminished</b><br>Moses' undiminished vitality at 120 years old is a testament to God's sustaining power. It signifies that Moses remained vigorous and capable, both physically and spiritually, until the end of his life. This vitality is a reflection of his close relationship with God and his role as a prophet and leader. It also serves as a type of Christ, who, though crucified, demonstrated ultimate strength and life through His resurrection. Moses' enduring strength is a reminder of the potential for divine empowerment in fulfilling God's purposes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, Moses is the leader of the Israelites who led them out of Egypt and through the wilderness.
