Are You "That Prophet"?
 Was Jesus the Prophet Spoken of in the Old Testament?
Moses towers above all others in influence during the Old Testament era. It was through Moses that God gave the world the Ten Commandments. Those Ten Commandments became the backbone of the American legal system and have influenced legal structures throughout the world.
However, Moses understood that laws could not supply the answers to the problems of mankind. He understood that a law in the hands of one judge would be interpreted to mean one thing while the very same law would be interpreted in a dramatically different way by a different judge.
Because Moses understood the inability of laws to bring mankind into the ways of truth, he spoke of a prophet that would someday be raised up to embody truth to the world. Moses spoke of this prophet in Deuteronomy 18:15, "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken." From that day forward, the people of Israel began to long for the appearance of "That Prophet" spoken of by Moses.
