Even though he was forbidden from entering the Promise Land, The Lord showed mercy to Moses and allowed him to see it before he died. Yet this is not the last time we see Moses.  At the Transfiguration, Moses is present and actively worshiping Jesus who came to accomplish the Law on our behalf. This important moment also gives us a glimpse of the pure splendor and awesomeness of the Kingdom that you and I will one day inherit.
