Mosheh foretold that Yahuah would raise a Prophet like him. The people recognized Yahusha as that Prophet. He is not Yahuah — he is the Prophet SENT by Yahuah.
Dabarym (Deuteronomy) 18:15–19
(15) Yahuah your Alahym will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among you, from your brothers; to him you shall listen.
(16) According to all that you asked of Yahuah your Alahym at Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the voice of Yahuah my Alahym, and let me not see this great fire anymore, lest I die.”
(17) And Yahuah said to me, “They have spoken well what they have spoken.
(18) I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
(19) And it shall be that the man who will not listen to My words which he speaks in My Name, I Myself will require it of him.”
Numbers 12:6
“And He said: “Hear now My words: if there is a prophet among you; I, YAHUAH, MAKE MYSELF KNOWN TO HIM IN A VISION, I speak with him in a dream”
Matthew 21:10-11
“And when he entered into Yarushalaym, all the city was stirred, saying: ‘WHO IS THIS?’ and the crowds were saying: “THIS IS THE PROPHET! YAHUSHA FROM NATSARATH OF GALIL!”
John 6:14
“Then the men, having seen the sign which Yahusha did, were saying: “THIS TRUELY IS THE PROPHET, THE ONE COMING INTO THE WORLD!”
John 1:21
While questioning John the bapatist, they ask him “ARE YOU THE PROPHET?”
John 7:40
“From the crowd, hearing these words, [they] were saying: “THIS IS TRUELY THE PROPHET!”
John 12:48
“The one rejecting me and not reciving my words has what judges him: THE WORD WHICH I SPOKE, that will judge him in the last day”
Luke 13:33
“Yet it is necessary for me to go on today and tomorrow and the next: BECAUSE IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A PROPHET TO PERISH OUTSIDE OF YARUSHALAYM”
Luke 7:16
“And fear seized all and they were given ESTEEM TO YAHUAH, saying: “A GREAT PROPHET HAS BEEN RAISED AMONG US!”
Luke 24:19
“The matters about Yahusha of Natsarat, they said, ‘a man who became a prophet, mighty in deed and word, before Yahuah and all the people”
Paul declares plainly: there is ONE Alahym — the Father. Messiah is subject to Him, belongs to Him, and will himself be subjected to the Father so that Alahym may be all in all.
1 Corinthians 8:6
“For us there is BUT ONE GOD, THE FATHER.”
1 Corinthians 11:3 with 1 Chronicles 29:11
“The head of every man is Messiah… the head of Messiah IS GOD”; “O Yahuah, you are exalted as HEAD ABOVE ALL”
1 Corinthians 3:23
“And you are Messiah’s and Messiah is God’s”
1 Corinthians 15:27-28
“Because He had put all things under his feet but when he said “all things are put under him” it is manifest that He is excepted which did put all things under him and when all things shall be subjected to him, then will THE SON ALSO HIMSELF BE SUBJECTED UNTO HIM THAT PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIM, THAT GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL”
In the book of Revelation, Yahusha himself — glorified and exalted — still calls the Father ‘MY God’ four times in a single verse. Salvation belongs to the One who sits on the throne.
Revelation 1:1
“The Revelation of Yahusha HaMashyakh WHICH ALAHA GAVE UNTO HIM…”
Revelation 3:12
“He that overcomes I make a pillar in the TEMPLE OF MY GOD
And he by no means goes out
And I write on him THE NAME OF MY GOD
and the name of the CITY OF MY GOD
which is New Yarushalaym, which comes out of heaven
FROM MY GOD and I write upon him my renewed name”
Revelation 7:10
“Salvation to OUR GOD WHO SITS UPON THE THRONE and unto the Lamb”
Revelation 12:10
“Now is come salvation and strenght and the KINGDOM OF OUR GOD and the POWER OF HIS MESSIAH”
Yahuah speaks of His Servant David — a prince, not the Almighty. The Messiah serves under Yahuah, not as Yahuah.
Ezekiel 34:23-24
“And I set up ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM and he feeds them, even My Servant, David, he feeds them and he is their Shepherd!
And I, Yahuah, will be their Alahym and MY SERVANT A PRINCE AMONG THEM, I, Yahuah, have spoken it!”
Ezekiel 37:21-28 (relevant portions)
“I am their Alahym and David My Servant is king over them and they all have one shepherd, thye also walk in My Judgments and oberve My Statutes and do them. And they dwell in the land… My Servant David is their prince forever. I make a covenant of peace with them… an everlasting covenant… I will set My Scantuary in the midst of them forever… I will be their Alahym and they My people!”
Yahuah calls the Messiah ‘My Servant’ and ‘the Branch.’ Zechariah says ‘Behold THE MAN’ — not ‘Behold your God.’ The counsel of peace is between them BOTH — two distinct beings.
Zechariah 3:8-10
“…I bring My Servant, the Branch because behold! The Stone that I laid before Yahusha, upon ONE STONE ARE SEVEN EYES, I engrave its engraving, says YAHUAH OF HOSTS and I remove the iniquity of that land IN ONE DAY!”
Zechariah 6:12-13
“Thus speaks YAHUAH OF HOSTS, SAYING:
BEHOLD! THE MAN whose NAME IS THE BRANCH ahd he grows out of his place and he builds the Temple of Yahuah, even he builds the temple of Yahuah and he bears the glory and sits and rules upon his throne and he is a priest upon his throne, and THE COUNSEL OF PEACE IS BETWEEN THEM BOTH”
Zechariah 11:4,12 (messianic in Matthew 27:9-10)
“Thus says YAHUAH MY ALAHYM…. they weighted for my wages thity pieces of silver”
(Note: This is the misscribed passage — it is Zechariah who says it, not Jeremiah)
Zechariah 13:7
“Awake o sword, against My Shepherd, and against THE MAN who is my companion, says Yahuah of Hosts, strike the shepherd and the sheep are scattered!”
Yahusha’s own words in John’s Gospel make it unmistakable: the Father is greater, the Father is the only true Alahym, and Yahusha is a man who speaks what he hears from Alahym.
John 14:28
“My Father is greater than I”
John 17:3
“This is eternal life: that they might KNOW YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD and Yahusha Mashyakh whom YOU have sent”
John 20:17
“Yahusha said unto her: touch me not! Because I AM NOT YET ASCENDED TO MY FATHER but go TO MY BROTHERS and tell them: I ascend unto MY FATHER AND YOUR FATHER AND TO MY GOD AND YOUR GOD”
John 5:26-27
“As the Father had life in himself, so He gave to the Son to life in himself and had given him authority to execute judgment also BECAUSE HE IS THE SON OF MAN”
John 6:57
“I live BECAUSE OF THE FATHER”
Deuteronomy 32:39
“See now that I, even I, am He and there is no alahym with me! I kill and I make alive…”
John 6:38
“Not to do my own will but the WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME”
Psalm 115:3
“But OUR ALAHYM is IN THE HEAVENS, He has done WHATSOVER HE HAD PLEASED”
Psalm 135:6
“Whatever Yahuah desired, that He did in Heaven and in the earth and in the seas and all deep places!”
Isaiah 46:10
“I do all my pleasure”
John 8:40
“Now you seek to kill me, A MAN who has told you the truth which I heard from Alahym”
John 17:22
“And the glory which You gave me I HAVE GIVEN THEM that they may be one even as we are one…”
Revelation 13:8
“the Lamb… slain from the foudnation of the world”
Isaiah reveals the Messiah as Yahuah’s Servant — chosen, upheld, formed from the womb. Yahuah put His Spirit upon him. This is not Yahuah describing himself — this is Yahuah describing someone He sent.
Isaiah 42:1
“Behold! MY SERVANT whom I uphold!
My Chosen, in whom My Being delights!
I have put My Spirit upon him!”
Isaiah 49:5
“Yahuah formed me from the womb to be His Servant”
Isaiah 53 (relevant portions)
“Because he grew up before Him as a tender plant…a man of pains… Yahuah laid on him the crookedness of us all… Yahuah was pleased to crush him, He laid sickness on him…. through his knowlege MY RIGTHEOUS SERVANT makes many rigtheous and he bears their coorkedness THEREFORE I give him a porton among the great and he divides the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his being unto death…”
Paul introduces Yahusha not as Alahym himself but as one who CAME INTO EXISTENCE from the seed of David, and was APPOINTED Son of Alahym through the resurrection.
Romans 1:1-4
“Paul, a slave of Yahusha the Messiah,
a called envoy,
qadash for the glad-tidings of Alahym,
which He promised beforehand
through His prophets
in the qadash writings,
concerning His Son,
who came into existence out of the seed of Daud, according to carnality,
who was appointed Son of Alahym in power,
according to a ruakh of qadash-ness,
from the resurrection of the dead.”
When asked directly who Yahusha is, the answer is never ‘You are Alahym.’ It is always: ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Alahym.’ This is the confession that Yahusha himself called blessed.
Matthew 16:13-17
“Now when Yahusha came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his taught ones, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Immerser, and others Alyyahu, and others Yaramyahu or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?” And Shim’on Kapha answering, said,
“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living Alahym.” And Yahusha answering, said to him, “Barukh are you, Shim’on Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.”
John 20:31
“but these have been written so that you believe that Yahusha is the Messiah, the Son of Alahym, and that, believing, you might possess life in His Name.”
