This is the top of Mount Nebo. This is where Moses was shown the Promised.
"Then the LORD said to him, 'This is the land of which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob saying, ' I will give it to your descendants.' I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there." (Deuteronomy 34:4 NIV) Mount Nebo is in the state of Jordan, east of the Jordan River. Moses saw all of the promised land, but never put a foot into it. For Israel it was the end of long years of servant hood to Egypt and wandering in the wilderness. It also was a new beginning for Joshua and the Children of Israel.
This spot is particularly moving to us students. For us also it is the end of something, and a new beginning. Where you go LORD - I go.
