Biblical Moments with Frank King
A Prophet Like Moses (Episode 154)
Moses was one of the most phenomenal people we read and learn about in the OT. At one point, God spoke with Moses face to face as a man does with a friend (Ex. 33:11). Moses had a special relationship with God because it was through the mouth of Moses that God spoke to His people. That brings us to the subject of the office of the prophet. They were the messengers of God for speaking to His people.
In this episode, Frank King focuses on the prophetic role that Moses played in the life of God’s people during His day. Frank says this was a foreshadow of the role Christ would play in the life of God’s people when He came.
Moses told the Israelites that one day God was going to send them a special prophet. “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him,” Moses said (Deuteronomy 18:15, NASB). A key point here is that Moses said this person is going to be a prophet like himself. Moses was in effect the mouth of God to the people of God. Similarly, when Jesus came on earth, He was the mouth of God to the people of God.
Jesus Is That ProphetHeretofore, we have assumed that the prophet Moses talked about was Jesus himself. But how can we validate that? Consider these words of Peter: “Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren; to Him you shall give heed to everything He says to you’” (Acts 3:23).
Peter said these words as he challenged the Jews to repent regarding their rejection of Christ to let them know that He was prophet promised them by God. Jesus plays that same prophetic role to us today. God is speaking to us in these last days by His Son (Heb 1:2). Let us hear Him.
