The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him.(Deut. 18:15)

Jesus did acknowledge it "If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me." (John 5:46)

So one believing in the scriptures cannot deny that Jesus was Prophet, like Moses, right?
Basically saying he is nothing but a prophet like Moses.
Or does this mean Moses is also divine ooooo the forgotten son!

Read on, in Deut 18, and notice if a prophet dies,
well then, you don't have to be afraid of such law.
That's what Moses wrote about "Jesus Christ",
by whom came grace & truth, not law & lie.
Pst: John the Baptist & Jesus both died.
Pst: whether prophecies, they shall fail.

Pst: it's Grace that can't lie nor die.
The Law both lies and dies.

First of all, Deutoronomy 18:18-19 is not even a prophet speaking. G-d is talking to Moses about false prophets. G-d says that he will only put his words in a true prophet’s mouth.

You ask: ‘Then why does it say “from among their brethren”? doesn’t this refer to Ishmael or Jesus?’

NO. certainly not Ishmael (and therefore Mohammed). Jews are called ‘brothers’ and ‘brethren’ all over the Torah. Aside from being the brother to Isaac, Ishmael and Ishmaelites are NEVER called ‘brother’ or ‘brethren’ in the Torah.

So what does it mean?

According to the Mikraos Gedolos, it means that it must be from ‘among your brothers’, i.e. in Israel.

One sign of a false prophet will be if he prophesizes outside of Israel (which ironically, Mohammed did). With this in mind, we can now understand why Jonah tried to ‘run away from G-d.’

He was trying to run away from prophecy, since he knew he couldn’t prophesize outside of Israel. This is also why he was so surprised to prophesize and hear from G-d outside of Israel – he was an exception to the rule.

You ask: What about ‘like unto thee’ in the verse?

Mikraos gedolos explains that this means that the prophet must be a Jew, just like Moses was.

Again, this is not a prophecy. No other prophecies are spoken near it, and it’s G-d speaking, not Moses or any other prophet.

Oddly enough, while you claim this is a prophecy, both Christiany and Islam conveniently ignore the rest of the Torah.

Actually Deut does speak about Jesus as a Prophet because Jesus is a Prophet and much more. God declares Jesus deity. In fact God (YWHW) is Jesus incarnate. Some question Jesus' deity as you would expect. But the Bible is very clear that Jesus is YWHW incarate. If you want to question Jesus' deity that is your priviledge, I don't question it.

Look, The Torah has said that it will be amongst you own people, and that of him you shall heed.

Heed: : to give consideration or attention

which does NOT necessarily mean that it will of been Jesus, it just says that one will appear, and he/she'd be a Jew.
