Question: (Part 1)
Pls clarify
Muslims claims that Biblical verses claimed to
be prophecies of Muhammad:
1)
Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up a prophet from among
their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall
speak to them all that I command him. It shall come about that whoever will not
listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of
him. 20 But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I
have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods,
that prophet shall die.'
Answer:
The prophet mentioned in this verse refers to Jesus
Christ.
This was evidently looped by the Apostles in the
following verses.
John 1:45; Acts 3:22-23, Acts 7:37
The Similarities between Moses & Jesus is tabulated
below for your ready reference.
Moses - Escaped being killed as a baby when the decree of a
king (Pharaoh) had condemned all male infants to death (Ex 1:8–22)
Jesus - Escaped being killed as a baby when the decree of a
king (Herod) had condemned all male infants to death (Mt 2:1–16)
Moses - Was not an Egyptian, but lived among Egyptians (who
preserved his life) when an infant (Ex 2:1–10)
Jesus - Was not an Egyptian, but lived among Egyptians (who
preserved his life) when an infant (Mt 2:13–15)
Moses - Was raised with the legal right to become a king but
belonged to a nation (Israel) oppressed by a pagan and foreign government
(Egypt)
Jesus – Was raised with the legal right to become a king but belonged
to a nation (Judah-Israel) ruled by a pagan and foreign government (Rome)
Moses - Freed his people from slavery through a “lamb ... without
blemish, a male of the first year” (Ex 12:5)
Jesus - Freed his people from sin through his own blood, being
the “lamb of God” without blemish (Jn 1:29; 1Pt 1:19)
Moses - Came out of Egypt (Ex 13:8–9)
Jesus - Returned out of Egypt (Mt
2:14–15)
Moses - Passed through the Red Sea (Ex 14:21–28)
Jesus - Passed through the waters of baptism (Mt 3:13–16)
Moses - Spent forty years in wilderness (Deut 8:2)
Jesus - Spent forty days in wilderness (Mt 4:1–2; Mk 1:13; Lk
4:1–2)
Moses - Fasted for forty days and forty nights (Ex 24:17–18;
Deut 9:9)
Jesus – Fasted for forty days and forty nights (Mt 4:1–2)
Moses - While in the wilderness, was administered to by angels
and was tempted (Ex 23:20–23; 17:2, 7)
Jesus - While in the wilderness, was administered to by angels
and was tempted (Mk. 1:12–13; Mt 4:8–11)
Moses - Gave the law from a mountain (Ex 19–24)
Jesus - Gave the new law from a mountain (Mt 5–7)
And still more and more !!!
*** Thus, Deuteronomy 18:18 clearly refers to Jesus
Christ and not to anyone else… The person they claim is not fulfilling the similarities
between Moses and himself….
Will answer other questions in separate part.
Thanks
