The event of Moses striking the rock with his rod causing water to gush out (Numbers 20) hardly seems to warrant the penalty of prohibition from entering the Promised Land. Moses prayed, apparently more than one time, for forgiveness and permission, until God said “Enough!  Speak to me no more on this matter” 3:29. 

Sixteen hundred years later, Jesus took Peter, James and John with him to a mountain in Galilee to pray. Luke 9:30 records a visible glory was present, and Moses and Elijah were seen speaking to Jesus. Moses, who could not cross the Jordan in his earthly life, saw his prayer answered in a far more glorious way. We must keep praying;  God does not forget.
