Let My People Go: Encountering Christ In Exodus: A Prophet Like Unto Moses

Moses was the great prophet who led Israel out of Egypt, gave them the Law, and formed Israel into an alternative society based on the worship of the true God and just treatment of neighbor.

When priests from Jerusalem tried to ascertain the credentials of John the Baptist, they asked him, “Are you the Prophet?” John denied it, claiming only to be a voice crying in the wilderness.
