"Thinking Eternally, Acting Locally." - Neal August
Recently, a fellow believer and I were talking briefly about Moses and how he was never able to ever enter the Promise Land. My friend stated a common feeling of sadness that Moses did not enter. I gave two points in response:
1) During the Transfiguration and Ascension of Jesus (Mt 17:3; Mk 9:4; Lk 9:30, Acts 1:9), Moses was in the Promise Land.
2) To my friend who believed in the Mosaic authorship if the Pentateuch, I said, “The geographical and topographical detail which Moses exhibits in the Patriarchal narratives of Genesis without ever having been to Palestine shows that he did not need to have gone into Palestine to know every rock, ravine, river and tree, including the place names.”

What's up with this re-release of Brazil--Criterion Collection on DVD on September 5th? Any difference between it and the Criterion Collection that's already available right now?
No, the film itself is the same. What they have done is remove most of the supplments of the 3-disc special addition ($60) and will simply offer just the film on 1-disc with the director commentary ($30). They did that with Fellini's 8 and 1/2 a few years ago as well.
