The Prophet Like Moses
A new mediator with a new word
The shadow (Old Testament)
Moses promised Israel, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers — it is to him you shall listen" (Deuteronomy 18:15-19). He wasn't just talking about the next prophet in the line. He was pointing to a coming Mediator who would speak God's words with final authority — the kind Israel could not survive standing before at Sinai.
- Deuteronomy 18:15-19— A prophet like Moses
The substance (Christ)
On the Mount of Transfiguration, the Father Himself said of Jesus, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him" (Matthew 17:5) — a deliberate echo of Deuteronomy 18. Peter later quoted the very prophecy and applied it directly to Jesus (Acts 3:22-23). The Prophet has come.
- Matthew 17:5— Listen to Him
- Acts 3:22-23— Peter applies the prophecy to Jesus
Apostolic commentary
Hebrews 1:1-2 — "God, who at sundry times… spoke by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son."
- Hebrews 1:1-2— In these last days spoken to us by His Son
Take it in
God's final Word to humanity isn't a doctrine or a book — it's a Person. Listen to Him.
