18:15
Having been told who not to listen to, we are then told that a prophet would come, a prophet like Moses. “You must listen to Him”. This is a prophecy of the coming of Jesus. It is also why it is so significant when God says “listen to Him” (Matt 17:5). Moses led them out of slavery to Egypt, Jesus leads us out of slavery to sin. Islam, mistakenly, claims that Mohammed is the one spoken of here.
18:16-18
“For this is ...” The people did not want to see or hear God directly, so He spoke to them through Moses. But there is a recognition in all this that something and someone greater than Moses was going to come “He will tell them everything I command Him”. Jesus told us all that the Father said to Him.
