Moses 1
Jehovah, the premortal Jesus Christ, not God the Father, appeared to Moses. Jesus has been given stewardship, dominion, and responsibility over the earth by and under the direction of the Father
Jehovah teaches Moses, then leaves him and Satan appears to deceive him to worship him. He knew the voice and glory of the Lord, having just spoken to him and was not deceived by Satan. We need to study and pray to learn the voice of the Lord that we are not deceived by Satan.
After Satan is cast away by Moses in the name of Christ, Jehovah appears again and Moses tells him he wants to know more.
We learn from Moses that he is a type of Christ, but we all are children of God.
We are nothing without God as embryo beings, but we have divine potential as children of God.
Moses had been a ruler and accomplished much. After his encounter with God he realized how much more there is in the universe and in man's potential.
