Moses didn't get to go into the promised land because of his sin at Meribah. I can either believe that that sin was pre-programmed or I can believe it was spontaneous.

When did God stop ordering the life of Moses?

He ordained the parents, and the sister,He ordained the saving of moses in the waters , and the adoption of Moses into the house of the Pharaoh so He would be an educated man

He ordained the murder of the egyptian so that Moses would go into the desert and mature and become prepared for the time to come.

He ordained that Moses be at the rock..

What makes you think that God did not care as much for the end of his life as for the beginning.

Steve , Moses did sin, and all sin has consequences..but even those consequences have a purpose..God had prepared the one for many years that He intended to lead the people into the promised land.

It was much like the later event when David got right to the edge and yet was not allowed to build the temple.

Moses accomplished exactly what he was intended to , not a step more.

The one that was to save was Joshua   An ordained type of Christ ("Jehovah is salvation") It was he that would lead them into the promised land and divide the land to the tribes not Moses

Moses was taken to the promised land Steve..he appeared in the transfiguration , as promised by God he was at last in the land that was promised to him.

Rn, you are a good student of your bible.

Your points, though, do not address what I'm considering.

If God "inhabits eternity" he is outside of time. What does it mean to be outside of time? Therefore, the issue succinctly: Does it mean the ability to time travel - past, present, future. And, if so, I must reconsider some of my assumptions about scripture.

In short, I've NEVER before imagined that ANYONE could BE in the past....even God..... And I've never imagined that anyone could BE in the future....but only have perfect knowledge of it.
