““The Mosaic revelation embodied within it the hope that the Lord would raise up an eschatological prophet like Moses.70 The final epitaph (Deut. 34:10 – 12) was a reminder that the godly were to live in the hope of God’s raising up a prophet like Moses to do mighty wonders and be able to lead God’s people into the promised rest (Heb. 3:1 – 4:13). The godly received encouragement in the prophetic ministry of Samuel, in the royal counselor-prophets, in Elijah, and in the literary prophets. But Moses finds his counterpart and fulfillment in Jesus, whose words and signs attest that he is greater than Moses (John 1:14 – 18; 21:25; Heb. 3:1 – 6).””
