the verse---Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the  people may 
hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever   -  in a time when not 
all do...<<

The pasuk refers to a prophecy that people will believe in Moshe  forever.   
It does not state or imply that all the people in the  world, or even all the 
Jews in the world, will always believe in Moshe and in  the Torah.
 
It is not only "today" but every year since the actual giving of the Torah  
that some Jews have rejected the Torah.  It isn't the existence of  some or 
even many unbelievers that is relevant here. What is  relevant is the continuing 
existence, without a break in history, of a  community of believers.
 
In fact there has always been and still remains a faithful Torah  community 
that continues, 3000 years later, to believe in Moshe Rabeinu.   To me this 
fulfillment of an ancient prophecy is an astonishing and  inspiring confirmation 
of the truth of the Torah.
