** A Prophecy from Deuteronomy **

Jehovah thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet
out
of the midst of thy brethren,
like unto Me;
Him you shall obey.
And I will put My words in His mouth.
Whence it shall come to pass,
that the man who will not obey His words,
I will require it of him.

(Deuteronomy 18:15-18)

AC 2534

One reads the word 'prophet' many times in the Word,
and in the sense of the letter
it means those to whom revelation is given,
and also - abstractedly from persons - revelation itself.
But in the internal sense
that word means one who teaches,
and also - abstractedly - doctrine itself.
And because, as has been stated,
the Lord is doctrine itself,
or the Word which teaches,
He is called 'a Prophet' . . .

Jehovah your God will raise up a Prophet like me
from the midst of you, from your brothers;
Him shall you obey.
(Deuteronomy 18:15, 18)
