again with him. The “meantime” is being used for<br />

fruitless discussions about the prophet and what he<br />

said and for spreading destructive teachings. What<br />

tragic developments within the message!<br />

In fact, all these expectations have nothing to do<br />

with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus is<br />

not mentioned even a single time in all of the things<br />

that they proclaim and await to be fulfilled. False<br />

hopes are being nurtured which will inevitably lead<br />

into utter despair. Please, acknowledge the fact,<br />

dear Brethren, that things pertaining to the Kingdom<br />

of <strong>God</strong> are not connected to any private interpretation.<br />

Now we are going to take a look at Moses and the<br />

commission given to him to lead the people into the<br />

Promised Land. He was not allowed to enter therein<br />

along with the church of Israel. According to Deuteronomy,<br />

chapter 34, he was only permitted to take<br />

a good look into the Promised Land from Mount<br />

Nebo, but could not enter in. Together with Brother<br />

Mehnert I took a taxi from Amman to Mount Nebo.<br />

We had a wonderful view, overlooking Jericho to<br />

our right, En Gedi and the Dead Sea to our left, and<br />

right before us was Jerusalem. How well I could<br />

understand how Moses must have felt! <strong>God</strong>’s ways<br />

are beyond our understanding. To the natural eye<br />

it seemed as though Moses had not completed his<br />

commission. We need spiritual understanding to respect<br />

the ways of <strong>God</strong> and His decisions.<br />

We do believe that <strong>God</strong> Himself will finish the work<br />

of Redemption, the way He planned it before the<br />

foundation of the world. The main thing is that we<br />

are ready to partake in the Word promised for this<br />

day, for true faith is anchored only in the promises<br />

of <strong>God</strong>.<br />
