How do we know that Jesus is the prophet prophesied by Moses?
Answered in 1 source
We know Jesus is the prophet because He fulfilled the prophecies and performed signs that confirmed His identity.
The certainty that Jesus is the prophet Moses spoke about is affirmed by the miracles He performed during His ministry, which served as signs validating His claims. In John 6:14, after the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000, the people recognized Him as that prophet who would come into the world, reflecting back on Moses’ words. Additionally, Jesus’ teaching resonates with God’s directives through Moses, proving He has the authority to interpret and fulfill the law. The New Testament explicitly states that rejection of this prophet leads to destruction (Acts 3:23), asserting the necessity of recognizing and heeding Jesus as the true fulfillment of Moses' prophecy.
