BIBLE PROPHECIES | MOSES (1)

1. Moses

a) Moses was a Hebrew born in Egypt about 3400 years ago. He received a formal education and led his fellow Hebrews out of Egypt to the border of Canaan, which later became Israel. He is credited with having written the first five books of the Bible - of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy - which are sometimes called the "Books of Moses" or the "Pentateuch." Many Bible critics have challenged the claim that Moses actually wrote the first five books. But what they cannot challenge is what they can see with their own eyes - that Moses' prophecies about the exile and worldwide scattering of the Hebrews, the unbelievable persecutions, culminating with a restoration of Israel are all visibly, provably, fulfilled in modern times.

b) Bible prophecies are listed below.

2. Bible Prophecies

a) God promised another prophet like Moses. 

Deuteronomy 18:15-18 New International Version (NIV) 

¹⁵ The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites. You must listen to him. ¹⁶ For this is what you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the Lord our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” 

¹⁷ The Lord said to me: “What they say is good. ¹⁸ I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.   

3. Written: As early as 1400 BC 

a) In Deuteronomy 18:15-18, Moses told the Jews that God would raise up another prophet like Moses. After Moses, there was a succession of prophets, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and others.  

b) " Like Moses, Jesus combined the offices of prophet, priest, leader, and deliverer. None of the other prophets combined all of those functions."

c) The lives of Jesus and Moses shared many similarities. Both were delivered from death as infants. Both were prophets. Both performed miracles. Both were leaders. And both were willing to die for the sins of others. Moses offered to die, if necessary, if God would forgive the sins of the people that Moses was leading (see Exodus 32:30-33), although God did not accept his offer. Jesus did die for our sins, so that people could enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
