Week 60, Day 4: A Prophet from among you

Today’s Reading:  Deut 18:1-22

Some thoughts from today’s reading…

Moses warns Israel not to allow those who practice witchcraft, one who interprets omens, a sorcerer, medium, spiritist, one who casts a spell or one who calls up the dead to be among them.  Such a one was to be put to death.  It seems that there have always been these kind of practices taking place.  Today it is a weegie board, tarra cards, palm readers, wiccan priestests, and the like.  Such actions are described as being detestable to the Lord.  Christians today should not be involved with such actions, even as a joke. 

In the midst of speaking about such things Moses tells them that God would raise up a prophet from among them who will tell them all that God commands for them.  This prophet would be proven to be true by the truthfulness of what he said.  The prophet would say certain things would come about and when those things came to be it proved that he was from God.  If however what he said would take place doesn’t take place then they are not from God and are to be put to death for speaking falsely in the name of the Lord. 

Question:  Verse 15 is cited in Acts 3:22 in reference to someone else.  Who is being spoken of in Acts 3:22?
