As Moses nears the end of his life, and the Hebrews approach entrance to the Promised Land, he prepares them through the instruction of the Law. In this lengthy instruction in Deuteronomy, he indicates a new prophet will arise, speaking the words of God.
Many prophets came doing just that, all culminating in Jesus Christ, Who is the very Word of God. He appears so human to the people, but as He teaches in the synagogue, they recognize there's something more to this Person, because He teaches with authority, that of God, which is demonstrated in how He heals by casting out a demon, who recognizes Him.
Since God has spoken His Word fully to us in Jesus Christ, we are now called to order our lives to follow His way, and share in His prophetic mission, speaking the very Words of God, to offer a healing touch to our world, in His authority, so that our world can be transformed as we have been.
