When Moses the servant of God ascended Mt Nebo in Moab (Deuteronomy chapter 34) to observe the Promised Land before his death , God had him pinpointed. God brought him to the exact spot under the precisely correct conditions for him to be able to behold or perceive what he needed to perceive. First God brought him to the Abarim mountain range. The name Abarim is from the same root as the word “Hebrew” and means “from regions beyond” or “place of journeying.” Beyond that God brought him to Mount Nebo. Nebo means “proclaimer”, or “prophet” or “height” according to another source. Once at Nebo God brought Moses to the peak called Pisgah which actually means “peak” or “cut off.” Moses was closing in on the precise place on what must have ben a crystal clear day in order for him to see the grandness and entirety of what he saw. There is a saying that every seat in the theater commands a unique view of the stage. Moses would not enter the Promised Land (until he stood there with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration) but few if any would see the entire promised land at once in one fell swoop the way Moses was privileged to see it. As God had that spot narrowed down and pinpointed, so God and only God knows to this day where He buried Moses after he took in that view of a peoples’ destiny and inheritance.
Similarly today he is sending many of us into regions beyond, God is sending us on journeys, giving us spectacularly clear, expansive views of things to come, and then leading us back among our brethren to give a report and a testimony, like he did with the 12 spies in Numbers when they brought back the giant samples of fruit. But remember only Joshua and Caleb brought back a positive and encouraging, empowering report. All were privileged to be among the twelve, but not all took the best advantage of that privilege. Most turned that privilege into an impediment to their own people. May we be among those who will make the most of the privilege we have been given!
