Both, God asked Moses to,"Talk to the Rock," Instead Moses hit the rock with his staff. The Rock is a symbolic name for Jesus. On this foundation will I build my church. Speaking of the Rock Jesus. Not Peter as commonly misunderstood. God wanted to use the Rock as a metaphor for Jesus when It came to the water coming from the rock, water to the people meant life in that part of the world.

It was because of His disobedience of smiting the rock, but maybe it was because Moses was stubborn? I agree with bootsie Moses did have a quite a temper.

God did not allow Moses into the promise land because Moses got angry with the jews. while he was in the mountains receiving the 10 commandments the jews were down below celebrating and worshipping a false idol which they had melted gold and made a golden calf to worship. This so angered Moses that he through down the two stone tablets that God had written in a rage at his peoples behavior.

CAUSE THEM JEWS ARE SOME STUBORN FOLKS

NO NO iT WAS LIKE THIS gOD INTRUCTED mOSES TO STRIKE THER ROCK one time. impatient he struck it twice.

Because Moses would not listen when he got upset and anger was a problem for him, anger management classes wasn't offered then. Only God punish the people not man.

revelation 2.9 and 3.9 the so call jews are not the people moses talk to you mean hebrew's if you read these two revelation you will know that those jews over in the middle east are not God's people they are with satan.
