Moses died atop a mountain near the promise land yet by the same saving power of redemption lives today as he was revealed alive with Jesus on the Mt. of Transfiguration. Jesus died on Mt.

Moses appointed his successor Joshua in Deut 31:7–23 , while Jesus appointed the church to be His successor until He returns for His church.

English Standard Version Chapter 10

For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ.
