Why did Satan and Archangel Michael dispute over Moses' body? | Sam Shamoun

Описание: What really happened in Jude 1:9 — and why did Satan dispute with the Archangel Michael over the body of Moses? In this fascinating biblical discussion, Sam Shamoun responds to questions raised after a debate with a Seventh-day Adventist about soul sleep, saintly intercession, and accusations of necromancy. The conversation dives deep into Scripture to clarify what Jude actually teaches and what it does not say.

Sam explains why Jude 1:9 does not teach that Moses was resurrected, exposing common misinterpretations of the passage. Instead, the dispute between Michael and Satan reveals profound truths about spiritual authority, divine judgment, and God’s sovereignty over His servants — even after death. By examining passages such as Numbers 20, Deuteronomy 34, and Jude 1:8–9, Sam shows how Moses’ death was an act of loving discipline from God, not condemnation.

The discussion also explores why Satan may have wanted Moses’ body, connecting biblical theology with human tendencies toward idolatry. Drawing parallels with the Bronze Serpent in Numbers 21 and its destruction by King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18, Sam demonstrates God’s wisdom in hiding Moses’ burial place to prevent idol worship.

Ultimately, this teaching clarifies the real point Jude makes: even the mighty Archangel Michael did not confront Satan by his own authority but relied entirely on the authority of God. The passage therefore warns believers against arrogance toward spiritual realities and calls Christians to humility, discernment, and proper respect for spiritual authority grounded in Scripture.
