Debarim [Deuteronomy] 18:15-22

The Jewish interpretation of this passage is that it refers to all the future prophets, not just one. You agree that there was more than one prophet after Moses?

[BibChr]

Well, you say "THE" Jewish interpretation. I'll confess right off that here, at work, I'd be hard-pressed to produce instant documentation, but to fail to apply Deuteronomy 18:15ff. to Messiah is not "THE" interpretation, is it, as if it were a monolithic and unchallenged position? The NT, which has been well-authenticated as a historically-reliable collection of documents, reflects that first-century Jewish thought accepted a Messianic interpretation of this passage (cf. John 1:21; 6:14; 7:40; Acts 3:22).

And yes, of course they were other true prophets. They were precursors of The Prophet, as godly kings/anointed ones were precursors of The King/Anointed One (Messiah).

Thanks for asking!
