Greetings Robert:

In continuing your discussion of Moses and the Law, I appreciate your insight into why God rejected the idea of Moses entering the promised land.

I still have some serious discrepencies in my thinking however: for instance, could the rock that Moses struck be an indication of the future church or body of Christ, and could the staff that Moses struck it with be an indicator of the actions of Christ and how He ( Christ) would not want his leaders to eventually lead and guide His followers or sheep.

This being the case, God did not then nor now tolerate a misuse of the authority that He entrusts to persons over His sheep. If this is the case, Moses's diobedience centered around His intolerance and impatience in leading the children of God. This is one case.

Another case would be the ongoing saga of the temper of Moses. First He kills an Egyptian that was beating a child of God and was in exile for I believe 30 or 40 years. This act was not condoned by God while forgiven. Then He did not want to heed the call of God and almost argued with God to take the call off his life. He threw the ten commandments down and broke them, and the second time had to hew out his own stone and carry the stone back up the mountain. And He had to live in almost constant intercession before God in his attempt to seek and guide the holy nation of Israel, with leadership being a constant burden to him and you get the feeling he would constantly bombard God with all the same whining and complaining that he heard from his people.

So therefore could it be that this final act of striking the stone was merely the straw that finally broke the camels back. If so then God's judgement seems appropriate and merciful and steeped with leniency.. In Christ..gregor
