The Resurrection of Moses
By Editor
We are glad to note that when men take the rational view of the subject, many times the words of our Lord in Mark 9, Luke 9, and Matthew 17, concerning the appearance of Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration, are not used as a proof that the soul is immortal. Yet that is one of the standard proofs on the part of those who so believe. Somehow or other they never seem to connect that passage with what is said in Jude 9. We note that one writer, however, the Rev. J. M. Sweany, in the Christian Advocate, connects the two, and declares that when the devil disputed about the body of Moses, as recorded in Jude, it was to thwart God's purpose; and when the Archangel came and said, "The Lord rebuke thee," Moses' "body was resurrected, for he had just come from heaven to the mount. What else can the 9th verse of Jude mean? What else could the devil have been contending for about the body of Moses unless to prevent its resurrection before the time?" And that is good common sense as well as sound Bible exegesis.
