Let me just ask you if you believe Yeshua was the "true prophet" Moses spoke about?

I don't read that passage as referring to one single prophet, because God raised up many true prophets after Moses. Based upon what I believe about Jesus, I think that he was a true prophet. If I based my opinion strictly on the gospel accounts, however, my answer would be no. In my opinion, certain aspects of these accounts reflect an understanding of Jesus -- one colored by Pauline theology -- that emerged in the decades after his death, rather than Jesus as he truly spoke and taught before his death. If you look past the theological accretions to the original layer of material, then yes.

Good morning malakhi. If you or other Jews consider Jesus a true prophet, then He was the first one since what, around 500BC?

Wouldn't this in it's self be significant to the Jews? What would the consensus of the Jews be, regarding his message and what the purpose was in His coming when He did?
