"YOU WILL ENDURE A LONG TIME" - Continue

 Moses was holy devoted to Jehovah. He served as a prophet, a judge, a commander, and a historian. Moses had a lot of experience in life! He led the nation of Israel out of slavery in Egypt and personally witnessed many of Jehovah's miracles. Jehovah used him to write down the first five books of the Bible, Psalm 90 and possibly Psalm 91. He also likely wrote the book of Job. 

Shortly before he died, at the age of a 120, Moses called together all the Israelites to remind them of the things they had seen and experienced. In their youth, some of his listeners had witnessed many signs and miracles performed by Jehovah as well as His judgments against Egypt. (Exodus 7:3, 4) They had walked through the parted waters of the Red Sea and had seen the destruction of Pharaoh's army. (Exodus 14:29-31) In the wilderness, they had experienced Jehovah's protection and care. (Deuteronomy 8:3, 4) Now as the nation stood poised to enter the Promised Land, Moses grasped this last opportunity to encourage the people.
