Today I read Deuteronomy 16:13-18:22 and John 4:47-5:47. My favorite verses are:
Deuteronomy 18:18 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.
John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
God promised to send a prophet "like Moses" to the Israelite people. In fact, He sent His Son Jesus who spoke words from the Father to the children of Israel. But His words were not to the Israelites only--they were to all people in the world. God sent His Son with the message of salvation--freedom from the bondage of sin, and access to the Promised Land, which spiritually is the eternal kingdom of heaven. We can receive the free gift of eternal life if we believe the message of God's greatest prophet--his Son.
