“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”
Hebrews 4:14-15 KJV
Jesus faced the same temptations we do it comes through our flesh when he took on flesh he took on temptation also the difference is when he was tempted he obeyed God and never sinned
“Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.”
Hebrews 5:7-10 KJV

That's perfectly fine that you want a better understanding of what the Bible says.
Concerning Moses, I think God sustained him while Moses was on the mountain with Him. God is the source of life, Himself. I would have loved to have been sitting in on the meeting.... Maybe someday when this is all over I can ask them!

Ask Christ. He talked in the OT NT what He does for one He will do for all. Now if it was a vision He would have said so. We do tend to hear Satan is toothless things like that. But its written "Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,"
I tend to believe God gave gifts what ever you wish to call it to angels He created. Well if He gifted man and some use that gift for God others for self. Never known fasting to cause more open visions things like that..well never.
