Deuteronomy 18:15: The Great Prophet; False Prophets

This passage includes both a promise of a great prophet to come and a warning against false prophets. God assures the people of Israel that they will not be left without guidance. He will provide prophets to teach, correct, and comfort them. The most important part of this promise is about a single, special prophet—Jesus Christ—who would one day come and reveal God’s will more clearly than ever before (Acts 3:22; 7:37 ^a). The section also gives instructions on how to recognize true prophets and avoid being misled by those who falsely claim to speak for God.

v. 15: God promised to raise up a prophet from among the Israelites, someone like Moses. This prophet would speak God’s words to the people, and they were commanded to listen to him. This promise can also refer to the line of prophets God sent to Israel, but it mainly points to Jesus, who is the greatest prophet of all (John 6:14 ^b).
