 | "[Deuteronomy 18:18]: A
promise not only made to Christ, but to all that teach in his name." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "It is here promised
concerning Christ, that there should come a Prophet, great above all the
prophets; by whom God would make known himself and his will to the
children of men, more fully and clearly than he had ever done before." |
|
| From Wesley's
Notes.
| "Christ was truly, and
in all commendable parts like him, in being both a prophet and a king
and a priest and mediator, in the excellency of his ministry and work,
in the glory of his miracles, in his familiar and intimate converse with
God." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "...the prophet here
promised was pre-eminently the Messiah, for He alone was "like unto
Moses" (see on De 34:10) "in His
mediatorial character; in the peculiar excellence of His ministry; in
the number, variety, and magnitude of His miracles; in His close and
familiar communion with God; and in His being the author of a new
dispensation of religion." This prediction was fulfilled fifteen
hundred years afterwards and was expressly applied to Jesus Christ by
Peter (Ac
3:22, 23), and by Stephen (Ac
7:37)." |

| "It is easy in hindsight to say the
people should have listened to Jeremiah and not Hananiah (Jer 27-29). To
apply this criteria today is equally difficult because those who feel
called to proclaim God's word believe it is the authentic word of God." |

them to check out this really neat conversation between Yahweh and Moses

by the fire and thunder that accompany their direct encounters with God." |
