Episode notes
Eternity Reframes Life
- Moses wrote Psalm 90 near the end of his life to press the people to see life's brevity against God's eternality.
- Seeing God as our eternal dwelling reframes our identity and reduces attachment to transient things.
Moses The Mourning Leader
- Moses led two million people and conducted more funerals than anyone in history, so he deeply understood death.
- That pastoral experience gives weight to his plea to number our days.
God Is Above Time
- God dwells outside of time so a thousand years are like a day to him and empires are fleeting in his sight.
- This perspective should humble ambitions built on temporal glory.
