Moses indeed said,. prophet shall the Lord God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me. To him shall ye hearken in all things whatsoever he shall speak unto you.

'MOSES INDEED SAID'- Deuteronomy 18:15. Please note that the New Testament agrees that the book of Deuteronomy was written by Moses.

Point to Note:

The fact that Peter know quotes. specific prophecy from the O.T., and finds it's immediate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, proves that the "restoration" the prophets predicted was taking place in the First Century. It is NOT. restoration that takes place AFTER Christ comes the second time. It is. restoration that happens BEFORE the second coming.

'AMONG YOUR BRETHREN'-The Messiah would be of Jewish ancestry.

'LIKE UNTO ME'-Jesus was also. Law-giver ('But. say to you'- Matthew 5:22; John 12:48; John 14:15). 'The Jews acknowledged that this passage in Deuteronomy was. Messianic prophecy. They had asked John the Baptist, "Are you the prophet?" (John 1:21 ff)' (Reese p. 168)

Both were lawgivers, both were saviors, both delivered others from bondage, both were mediators.

'TO HIM SHALL YE HEARKEN IN ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER HE SHALL SPEAK UNTO YOU'-(Matthew 17:1). This infers that even as far back as Deuteronomy, God was hinting that the Law of Moses wasn't an eternal law. But one day, there would be. change (Jeremiah 2:31).
