Deut. 18:18 states: I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers: I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.
Muslims claim that this is a prophecy for Muhammad, yet Christians claim this is a prophecy for Jesus.
Lets look at the verse:
I will raise up for them a prophet.
Christians believe that Jesus was God, this only strengthens the Muslim position of Jesus as no more than a prophet, although a GREAT prophet.
Like you
So the prophet will be like Moses. Muhammad and Moses had so much in common that it is ovious the prophecy refers to Muhammad. Lets look at the similarities:
Both were born of man and woman
Both lived normal lives before being called to prophethood
Both brought down scripture [Torah, Qur'an]
Both were married.
Both performed miracles
Both left sucessors.
I think thats enough for now.
From among their brothers
Who were the brothers of the Israelites? the Ishmaelites. Muhammad was an Ishmaelite.
I will put my words in his mouth
Muhammad never took credit for his preachings. every word of the Qur'an he spoke he gave credit to God.
And he will tell them everything I command him
When the Qur'an was completed, Muhammad reviewed it for 25 years with the Angel Gabriel. He also preached to his followers countless times.
In Isaiah, there is a reference to the prophet being a descendant of Keldar. Keldar was an Ishmaelite and Muhammad is a descendant of Keldar.
John the Baptist was questioned by the Jews on who he was. they asked him three questions: Are you the Christ? Are you Elijiah? Are you the Prophet? The Jews were oviously expecting three different people. Jesus' prophecy is different, as seen in Matthew 1:23
I conclude that Muhammad was the prophet in Deut. 18:18
