Psalm 111 / Deuteronomy 18:15-20

This week, we read Deuteronomy 18:15-20.

What difference does it make that Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18, say, “…God will raise up…,” and, “I [God] will raise up…”, instead of, “A prophet will rise,” or, “A person will declare himself/herself/themself a prophet”?

Moses is speaking in this passage. He says God will raise up “a prophet like me.” Reflect on Moses as prophet. What were his main attributes? What were his main achievements?

Do you believe God still raises up prophets? Why? What do they do?
