This prophet is to be a deliverer. Like Moses, he was to bring a people out of bondage. Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt, through Canaan, and to the Promised Land. Jesus is the deliverer of mankind. He delivers those who follow him out of sin, through life, and into heaven.
The typology has long been recognized. Egypt is a type of sin, Canaan is a type of life, the Jordan River is a type of death, and Canaan is a type of heaven. Unlike Moses, Jesus will lead His disciples into heaven itself. He is the great deliverer, yet, he is far more, He is the only way to eternal life (Acts 4:12).
The author lists points of comparison between Moses and Jesus. A worthy read.
