A Prophetic Like Moses
Deuteronomy 18:15
Moses prophesies about a forthcoming Prophet, akin to himself, who will emerge from among Israel. At first look, this may seem to pertain to the prophetic vocation in a general sense. However, the wording is distinctly unique and personal: “a Prophet akin to me…” You shall hear him.
The rabbis have always acknowledged the messianic significance of this verse. It refers to a particular individual who, akin to Moses, would serve as a mediator between God and humanity, receive divine revelation directly, and be distinctly anointed to guide God's people towards covenant fulfillment. Moses declared, “Him you shall heed.” This is not a suggestion—it is an imperative. It resonates at the Mount of Transfiguration as the voice of the Father proclaims, “This is My beloved Son.” Listen to Him! Luke 9:35. Divine endorsement solidifies the identify of the Prophet-Messiah, while divine directive mandates our compliance to Him.
Amidst a cacophony of voices, the need persists: Listen to Him. His words embody spirit and life. His teachings represent the realization of the Torah—not via negation but through embodiment. He is not simply comparable to Moses; He surpasses Moses.
Deuteronomy 18:15 constitutes a fundamental Messianic prophesy that is frequently disregarded. The Messiah represents a new Moses, establishing a superior covenant. The directive to "hear Him" is sacred and obligatory. Yeshua personifies the Torah, actualizing the law and the prophets.
Yeshua (Jesus) fulfills this prophesy with remarkable accuracy:
* Similar to Moses, He was born under peril of death (Pharaoh/Herod).
* Like Moses, He resided in Egypt in the desert for a period. Similar to Moses, He facilitated a covenant; nevertheless, His covenant is new and superior (Hebrews 8:6).
* Similar to Moses, He ascended a mountain, proclaimed divine law, and radiated splendor (Matthew 17:2).
* In contrast to Moses, He is not merely a servant within the house; He is the Son presiding over the home (Hebrews 3:5–6).
The Prophet akin to Moses has arrived, and His name is Yeshua. He articulates not merely divine words but speaks as God Himself. Let us mute inferior voices and attune our ears to the One whom the Father instructs us to heed. By heeding His voice, we engage in covenant, truth, and life.
