Was Moses resurrected?

[Lamb]

I was reading a thread elsewhere about the Transfiguration and someone stated that Jude indicates that Moses was resurrected. I'm not sure I have heard of that one before, have you?

First time I have ever heard of it.

I believe this is in reference to verse 9 of Jude which says
9 "But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you"

This is not a reference to resurrection of any kind, but that some type of argument broke out over the body of Moses.

● Deut 34:5-6 . . Moses the servant of The Lord died there in the land of Moab,
according to the word of The Lord. And He buried him in the valley in the land of
Moab, opposite Beth-peor; but no man knows his burial place to this day.

A very curious scene unfolded during Moses' burial. The Devil argued with Michael
the archangel about Moses' body. (Jude 9)

It's been suggested that the Devil objected to secrecy. In other words; it's possible
that he wanted Moses' body enshrined in a sort of Church of the Holy Sepulcher
where the Jews could be lured into idolatry by adoring Moses' remains as a sacred
relic like they eventually did with that fiery serpent. (2Kings 18:4)

That's actually a very plausible suggestion. For example: there's a statue of the apostle
Peter in Rome whose big toe has been eroded over the years by the lips of pilgrims
kissing it.

FAQ: Is it wrong to have a picture of Jesus in one's home?

REPLY: Well; I would say that as long as folks don't use his picture for a shrine,
then more power to them. (consult the 14th of Romans for caveats)

Personally; were I to have a picture of Jesus here in my study, I'd want it be the
cover photo of a special re-issue of LIFE Magazine that was on display over the
2022-2023 holidays because the look on his face speaks volumes. But the thing is:
that face is haunting-- in an eerie sort of way --and I really don't think I'd want it
looking at me all the time.

Jud 1:9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”

To say that that verse says that Moses was resurrected is reading into the text meaning that is not there.
