How do we know Jesus is the prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus is identified as the prophet like unto Moses in Deuteronomy 18, who is the ultimate mediator for God's people.
In Deuteronomy 18:15-19, Moses prophesies about the coming of a prophet who will be like him, serving as a mediator between God and His people. This prophet is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who embodies all the roles of prophet, priest, and king, as described in Scripture. Jesus is the one who speaks God's words without error and whose authority is recognized as divine. Furthermore, the New Testament repeatedly identifies Christ as this prophet, emphasizing His unique position and mission in bringing salvation to humanity. His role as both God and man makes Him the perfect mediator who can represent both parties in reconciliation.
