In Deuteronomy 34, 7 we read, And Moses
was a hundred and twenty years old when
he died.
His eye was not dim, nor his natural
force abated.
So Moses lived to be a hundred and
twenty years old.
A man's usefulness is often marked after that
man has had an encounter with God.
The study of the life of Moses in
Scripture will reveal the following startling details.
The first forty years of Moses' life in
Egypt is covered by only fifteen verses of
Scripture.
The next forty years of Moses' life on
the backside of the Midian Desert is covered
by only ten verses of Scripture.
But the last forty years of Moses' life
after his encounter with God is covered by
approximately 4,252 verses of Scripture.
Surely this clearly demonstrates that the significance of
a life begins after an ordinary man has
had an extraordinary experience of God.
And from that point forward, his life is
never the same again.
