Notes A Prophet Like Moses There are many ways in which Moses and Jesus were alike as Moses was a model of the Messiah to come. Both were prophets, both were intercessors, and both performed great miracles. However, the fundamental similarities which Moses and Jesus uniquely have in common can be seen as: 1) Both had a direct relationship with God (Moses Deuteronomy 34:10, Jesus: John 6:46, Luke 10:22) 2) Both were mediators (Moses: Exodus 20:18-21, Jesus: 1 Timothy 2:5) 3) Both were deliverers (Moses: Exodus 3:1-10, Jesus John 1:29, 8:31-32, 1 Corinthians 15:56-57) 4) Both were lawgivers (Moses: the Mosaic Law, Jesus: the New Covenant) It's interesting to note some of the other typological ways in which Moses and Jesus are similar, both survived attacks on their life when they were infants, both left a home of royalty to be a servant of the people and God, both were raised by a step-father, and both were rejected by the nation Israel at their first coming. Verse 16 - Horeb Horeb is another name for the Mt. Sinai area. Reference Exodus 20:18-19, at the giving of the ten commandments at Mt. Sinai the people of Israel expressed their great fear of hearing the voice of God, and asked that God's communication be given to them through Moses. A Prophet, or a Succession of Prophets? Some commentators understand the word "prophet" as used in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 to refer to the "prophetic order" or successive line of prophets that would come after Moses. The context of the passage seems to be harmony with this view, but there are several compelling reasons why this scripture points an individual and not a collective body. First, looking at Deuteronomy 34:10-12, the meaning of the phrase "like unto thee" from Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 is expounded upon, " 10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, 11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel." This prophet is to come from the people of Israel, he is to have a face-to-face relationship with God, he is to publicly perform wondrous miracles, he is to deliver the people from bondage, he is to be a servant sent from God to be a witness to all people, and he is to act with authority over the people. While all the prophets were servants commissioned by God, none had the unique relationship that Moses had with God, most did not perform miracles like Moses, and none were delivers of the people as Moses was. However, Jesus supremely embodies all of these qualifications, being the Son of God who was with Him from the beginning, who performed greater miracles, who was completely obedient to God, even unto death, and who and provided a greater deliverance - offering everlasting life and freedom from the bondage of sin and eternal damnation to all that would receive Him as Savior. Numbers 12:6-8 further supports the view that Deuteronomy 18:15-19 speaks of an individual prophet versus a succession of prophets, " 6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?" So while other prophets would come, Moses was set apart from them in his special relationship with God. And yet while Moses uniquely saw the rays of the glory of God, a "similitude" or "form" of the Lord, Jesus has a superior relationship with the Almighty. In John 6:46 Jesus speaking of Himself says, "Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father." The point is that the word "prophet" in Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 cannot be speaking solely of a prophetic order or successive line of prophets that come would after Moses, because none except Jesus truly had the relationship with God that Moses was blessed with. At the time of Jesus, the premise that the "prophet" would be an individual is clearly seen in passages such as John 6:14, and 7:40. Although John 1:20-25 indicates that though they understood the prophet "like unto me" to be an individual, it appears not all had made the connection that this special prophet would also be the Messiah. In Acts 3:22-23 Peter specifically attributes Deuteronomy 18:15-19 to Jesus.

Notes Shiloh means ³the one who brings², or ³until he comes to which it belongs² and is a word commonly attributed as a name for the Messiah. Ezekiel 21:27 uses the same phrase when addressing Zedekiah (the last king of Judah) stating that Israel would not have a king again until Messiah came. The ³scepter² represents the authority and right to rule (See Numbers 24:17,  Esther 4:11,  Isaiah 14:5, and  Hebrews 1:8). King David and then Jesus, who is the ultimate fulfillment of this verse, were both in the genealogical line of Judah. The phrase "gathering of the people" is best translated as "the obedience of the people" (the Jewish Masoretic Text-based "Holy Scriptures" renders it "obedience," as do the NAS, NIV, and NKJ translations). Although at His first coming Jesus' "kingdom" was not of this world (John 18:33-37), this verse mainly looks to His kingship upon earth at His second coming and His glorious millennial reign as King Messiah.

Notes Although at His first coming Jesus' "kingdom" was not of this world (John 18:33-37), this verse mainly looks to His kingship upon earth at His second coming and His glorious millennial reign as King Messiah. The word "Star" was well established in the Eastern culture of the time to mean a prince or ruler, one with dignity, glorious power, and majesty. The fact that the word "Star" refers to a ruler is further supported by the subsequent use of the word "Scepter" immediately following. The word Scepter here represents a symbol of authority and dominion. Numbers 24:14-19 is a continuation of the theme established in Genesis 49:10, which references "scepter" when speaking of "Shiloh," the Messiah to come. See Genesis 49:10, "The Messiah would be a King." In addition to the people of "Moab" in Numbers 24:17, verse 18 also goes on to reference victory over "Edom." While King David had success against Moab and Edom, this verse cannot refer to him because he did not fully complete their destruction in his victories. In addition, in Numbers 24:14 Balaam says that his prophecies are to be realized "in the latter days." Jeremiah 48-49 also speak of God judgement of Moab and Edom in the latter days 1. Moab and Edom are symbolic of all nations at war or against the nation of Israel 2. Genesis 12:3 says "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee." Numbers's 24:17 speaks of the "Star out of Jacob," and in Revelation 22:16 Jesus refers to Himself as "the bright and morning star." John 8:12 says "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Through his saving act of sacrifice and substitution, Jesus defeated death for Israel and all that accept him, and has been exalted with glory and power to the right hand of God the Father. Jesus' first coming was a mission of grace, his second coming will be one of judgement and splendid dominion. For more details on the exaltation and victory of the Messiah, see The Resurrection & Victory of the Messiah. The Star and the Wise Men Some point to the star the wise men followed to the baby Jesus (Matthew 2:1-2) as a fulfillment of Numbers 24:17. The birth of royalty was believed by many in ancient times to be preceded by an appearance of a star or comet. While it is interesting that a star did indeed direct the magi to the baby Jesus, Numbers 24:17 is better understood to be speaking of the Messiah Himself, "... the root and offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." 1.

Notes While the King James Version renders "Wonderful" and "Counselor" as two distinct titles, they are best translated as one, an adjective followed by a noun; "Wonderful Counselor." The Hebrew is "Pele-Yoeitz" and literally translates as "a wonder of a counselor," but the meaning is more profound than today's English language communicates. The Hebrew "Pele" (from the prim. root "pala") is translated "wonderful" in English and means a "miracle" or "extraordinary," and reflects a "supernatural accomplishment," or something "incomprehensible to man" and is only used when describing something that is divine.1  The word "counselor" is often connected with the word "king" (as in Micah 4:9).2  So as the phrase "the government shall be upon his shoulder" communicates that Messiah was to be a king, so does the phrase "Wonderful Counselor."3  But more than just a king, this person is divine, as the word "wonderful" indicates. An excellent example in support of this interpretation is found in Isaiah 28:29;  "This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working." 1. Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, "Messianic Christology" page 39 2. The KJV Parallel Commentary, page 1317 3. Walter C. Kaiser, "The Messiah in the Old Testament" page 163

Notes There are three ways in which the title "Prince of Peace" exclusively and uniquely represents the work and ministry of Jesus: 1. He brought peace between man and God. 2 Corinthians 5:18, says; "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;" The "Peace Offering" in Leviticus 3:1-17  was a voluntary offering that enabled a fellowship with God. Jesus' substitutionary and voluntary act of giving His perfect and unblemished life as a peace offering for all mankind's sin has eliminated the chasm between man and God. For God is Holy and could not accept man in his sinful state. Habakkuk 1:3  says of God; "Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity..." Jesus cleansed us of our sins and reconciled us before God. Romans 5:1  says "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Jesus is our peace, the "Prince of Peace." 2. He offers internal peace to those who accept Him as Savior. Those who accept Jesus as savior are filled with the Holy Spirit who gives a deep and lasting peace. Philippians 4:7  says; "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Jesus in John 14:18  says "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." 3. He will bring peace among all mankind during His milennial reign. Complete peace among all mankind will only come when Jesus returns to rule on earth. Immediately following the descriptions of the attributes of the Messiah in Isaiah 9:6,  verse 9:7  says; "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." Isaiah 2:4  speaks of that day; "And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

Deuteronomy 18:15-19b " 15 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. 17 And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."	John 12:48-50 " 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak."

Notes Jesus' statements in John 12:48-50 are a further affirmation of His undeniable credentials as being the Prophet spoken of in Deuteronomy 18:15-19. Just as God told Moses what to say, so Jesus is empowered with authority through the words given to Him directly from His Heavenly Father. Just as God spoke to Moses through a cloud (Exodus 24:16) at Mount Sinai, so He spoke of the authority of Jesus through a cloud (Mark 9:7), "And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him." These words "This is my beloved Son: hear him," spoken to the people of Israel during the time of Jesus are just as valid for us today. Oh that we would just "hear him." In John 14:15 Jesus says "If ye love me, keep my commandments," and in John 15:10 He says, "If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Fathers commandments, and abide in his love."

Isaiah 9:1-2a " 1 NEVERTHELESS the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. 2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined."	Matthew 4:12-17 " 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim... 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

John 3:34 "For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." Colossians 2:9 "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

Notes Isaiah 11:2 describes seven gifts of the Spirit of God, sometimes referred to as the "Sevenfold Spirit of God."1  These seven gifts are: 1) the Sprit of God, 2) the Spirit of Wisdom, 3) the Sprit of Understanding, 4) the Spirit of Counsel, 5) the Spirit of Power, 6) the Spirit of the Knowledge of the Lord, and 7) the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord. In the scriptures, the number seven represents "perfection", or "completeness" and is normally associated with God. Since Messiah was to be a prophet (see Deuteronomy 18:15, 18) He would be filled with the Spirit of God. But unlike other prophets, Messiah would be given the Holy Spirit "without measure" (John 3:34). Note that after "the Spirit of God," the attributes are grouped into three sets of logically paired gifts:2 1. Intellectual attributes:  wisdom and understanding. 2. Adminstrative attributes:  counsel and might (power, the means and authority to accomplish His plans). 3. Spiritual attributes:  knowledge and fear of the Lord. 1. Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum, "Messianic Christology" pages 42-43 2. Dr. James E. Smith, "What The Bible Teaches About The Promised Messiah" pages 269-270

Notes Continuing with the theme established for the "shoot from the stem of Jesse" in Isaiah 11:2 and the Servant of the Lord in Isaiah 42:1, here we are told again that Messiah will have the Spirit of God upon him. In John 1:32 John the Baptist says that the Sprit of God descended and "abode upon" Jesus. Again in John 1:34 the Baptist says that Jesus has been given the Spirit of God without measure. Some see Isaiah 61 as Isaiah himself providing comfort and consolation to the suffering Israeli exiles in Babylon. But the only one capable of fulling these prophecies would be the Messiah Himself. Jesus specifically applies Isaiah 61:1-2 to himself in Luke 4:17-21. Isaiah 61:1 paints a picture of the Trinity by referring to the "Lord God" (God the Father), the "Spirit of the Lord God" (the Holy Spirit) and "me" (Messiah, the Son of God).

The Messiah would have the Spirit of Wisdom.

Matthew 13:54 "And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

Luke 4:31-32 " 31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. 32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power."
