Answers are found in the canonical Book of Deuteronomy, the semi-canonical Book of Enoch, and even in the Psalms.

30:00 – Did Moses fake his own death, or did he have help? Where did he go, and how did he reappear approximately 1200 years later at the Transfiguration of Jesus? Who was that Elias fellow that appeared with him, and how did he get there? How did Moses go 40 days and nights without eating food or drinking water when he finally retrieved a pair of intact stone tablets from Mt. Sinai? What made his face so shiny when he came down? Dave in Kentucky has the answers to these and other important questions, and he tells the story both verbally and musically, with the able assistance of the Suno AI.
