The Prophet Like Moses
Deuteronomy 18:18-19
 “I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren like unto thee, and will put my words into his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I command him. And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”
Three things noticed about this scripture:



  1. [*]The words and phrases used by Moses must refer unto a particular prophet and not prophets in general.

    [*]This prophet is to have special authority above and beyond Moses because if anyone refuses to hearken it shall be required of him.

    [*]This prophet was to be like Moses in ways that would distinguish him from all other prophets who were to come.
I submit unto you that this is speaking of none other than Jesus Christ himself and through careful study we can clearly see 27 points which shows a clear parallelism and resemblance between Moses and Jesus. Notice the following scriptures and comparisons.
