Letter: Moses and Rees-Mogg
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: With all the respect due to William Rees-Mogg and Isaac Watts, the latter's 'view of God's relationship to time' ('Is this the end of life as I know it?', 21 December) was Moses' before it was his. Psalm 90, ascribed by the New International Version of the Bible to 'Moses the man of God', states in verse 4:
For a thousand years in your sight
are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night.
Lest anyone should doubt my respect for Lord Rees-Mogg, let me tell you I am devastated that his column of 21 December 'will be the last one'. To quote the Psalms again (Psalm 28 Verse 1b NIV):
For if you remain silent,
I shall be like those who have gone down to the pit.
Yours faithfully,
