Almost everyone has interpreted that what is written in the
Book of Deuteronomy 18:15-19 refers to only one Prophet: a
Prophet like Moses or equal to Moses.

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

The fact that the promise that The Lord our Elohim (YHVH
ELOHIM) will raise up a Prophet is written twice is an allusion
to not only one Prophet, but to Two Prophets.
Many believe that our Lord Jesus The Christ is the Prophet
"equal to" Moses or "like Moses", but it is not so.
There is a great distinction between Jesus and Moses:
Jesus says:
"Do not think that I will accuse you before the
Father; there is one who accuses you, Moses, on
whom you have set your hope. For if you believed
Moses, you would believe me; for He wrote of me.
And if you do not believe his writings, how will you
believe my words?" (John 5:45.46).
Jesus clearly says that Moses wrote of Him, of Jesus The Christ
(Deuteronomy 18:15).
Jesus does not accuse "before the Father"; "who accuses",
"before the Father" is "Moses".
And Jesus says that "He wrote" of Him (of Jesus The Christ,
and not of Moses) (in Deuteronomy 18:15).
For if it were interpreted that our Lord Jesus The Christ was
also referring to Deuteronomy 18:18-19, He would be saying
that He was the Prophet "equal to" or "like" Moses.
However, while Jesus does not accuse "before the Father",
"who... accuses" "before the Father" is "Moses".
Jesus says, "It was not Moses who gave you the bread from
heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven":
"So they said to him, Then what sign do you do, that
we may see and believe you? What work do you
perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the
wilderness, as it is written, He gave them bread
from heaven to eat. Jesus then said to them, Truly,
truly, I say to you, It was not Moses who gave you
the bread from heaven; but my Father gives you the
true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he
who comes down from heaven and gives life to the
world [Ecclesiastes VII, 12]." (John 6: 30-33).
Our Lord Jesus The Christ refers to the Bread from Heaven
"from an even higher region, from the sphere of Wisdom...",

http://www.testimonios-de-un-discipulo.com/They-Are-Two-Prophets-Deuteronomy-18%2015-19.html[22/01/2015 10:02:41 p.m.]

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

i.e. from the Sephirah CHOKMAH of the Tree of Life.

Whereas the Bread from Heaven which fed the Israelites in the
wilderness was from the Sephirah TIPHERETH:
"373. Rabbi Shimon said: Many people are
nourished from it today. And who are they? They
are the friends, who are occupied with Torah days
and nights. And if it you think that it was actually
the same food THAT THE CHILDREN OF
YISRAEL ATE IN THE WILDERNESS, it is not,
but it is very similar to that food, for it is worth
double THE MANNA THAT THE CHILDREN OF
YISRAEL ATE IN THE WILDERNESS."

"374. Come and behold: when Yisrael came and

cleaved unto the Holy King, they merited then to
eat a much higher bread because of the uncovering
of the holy sign OF THE CIRCUMCISED
ORGAN. Before, when they left Egypt, they came
with bread called unleavened bread (Heb. Matzah),
WHICH IS MALCHUT. Now they merited to eat a
different, much higher bread, from a high place, as
is written: "Behold I will rain bread from the
heavens for you," actually from the heavens,
WHICH IS ZEIR ANPIN [TIPHERETH], and it
became available to Yisrael from this place at that
time. The friends who are occupied with Torah
are nourished from a higher place. What is it? It
is as written: "Wisdom [CHOKMAH] gives life to
those who have it" (Kohelet [ECCLESIASTES]
7:12), which is a place far higher THAN ZEIR
ANPIN." (The Zohar).
Jesus The Christ our Lord is obviously DIFFERENT from the
Prophet Moses. The Prophet Moses is the Faithful Servant of
our Lord Jesus The Christ and His Faithful Shepherd.
In the light of this understanding, the correct interpretation of
Deuteronomy 18:15-19 is to understand that it clearly speaks
of Two DIFFERENT Prophets: THE TWO COMFORTERS.
The Prophet of Deuteronomy 18:15 is the Prophet "equal to"
YHVH ELOHIM.
The Prophet of Deuteronomy 18:18-19 is the Prophet "equal to"
Moses.
"A prophet from among you, from your brothers,
like me, ADONAI your God [The Lord your God]
will set up for you, you shall hearken to him.
According to all that you asked of Adonai your God
http://www.testimonios-de-un-discipulo.com/They-Are-Two-Prophets-Deuteronomy-18%2015-19.html[22/01/2015 10:02:41 p.m.]

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

[The Lord your God] in Horeb, on the day of the

Assembly, saying, "Let me not continue to hear the
Voice of ADONAI my God [The Lord my God],
and let me no longer see this great fire, so that I will
not die." And ADONAI [The Lord] said to me,
"They have done well in what they have spoken, I
will set up a prophet for them from among their
brothers like YOU; and I will put My words into his
mouth, and he will speak to them all that I
command him. And it will be that whoever does not
hearken to My Words -that he speaks in My name- I
will exact it of him." (Deuteronomy, 18:15-19).
It is the Lord our God (YHVH OUR ELOHIM) Who is
speaking to Moses:
"PROPHET from among you,...", "like Me", the Lord our God
says to Moses...
"A prophet from among you, from your brothers,
like me, ADONAI your God [The Lord your God]
will set up for you, you shall hearken to him."

- II "Listen to Him"
AT that time YHVH (IAO) The Holy One, Blessed Be He, the
Lord our True God, said to His Servant, His Faithful Shepherd,
Moses:
"YHVH your God will raise up for you a Prophet
like Me from among you, from your brothers, you
shall listen to him..." (Deuteronomy 18:15).

http://www.testimonios-de-un-discipulo.com/They-Are-Two-Prophets-Deuteronomy-18%2015-19.html[22/01/2015 10:02:41 p.m.]

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

"A Prophet from among you, from your brothers,

like me, ADONAY your God [the Lord your God]
will set up for you, you shall hearken to Him."
(Deuteronomy 18:15, "Torah").
"AND AFTER six days, Jesus took with him Peter
and James and John his brother, and led them up on
a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured
before them; and his face shone like the sun, and his
garments became as white as light. And behold,
there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking
with Him. And Peter answered and said to Jesus,
Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you wish, we
will make three booths here: one for you, and one
for Moses, and one for Elijah. He was still speaking
when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them;
and behold, a voice from the cloud said, This is my
beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased: listen
to him." (Matthew 17: 1-5).
"And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came
out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son:
listen to him." (Mark 9: 7).
The Lord our God, the Holy One, Blessed Be He, Announces to
His Servant Moses that He, the Lord our God, will Raise up A
Prophet "LIKE" HIM, Like The Lord Our God... And He
Commands: "... you shall listen to HIM...", "... you shall
hearken to Him..."
In THE TRANSFIGURATION, and being The Prophet Moses:
THE LAW... The Prophet Elijah: THE PROPHETS and the
Three Apostles: James, Peter and John as witnesses TO OUR
LORD JESUS THE CHRIST, THE HEAVENLY FATHER'S
VOICE is Heard, is Listened to, Speaking in the Midst of THE
BRIGHT CLOUD OF THE SHEKINAH:
"This is My Beloved Son: listen to Him...", " you
shall listen to Him", "... you shall hearken to
Him...", (Deuteronomy 18:15).
"... listen to Him..." (Matthew 17:15; Mark 9:7).
The first promise of the Prophet of Deuteronomy 18:15 which
says, "you shall listen to Him...", "you shall hearken to Him...",
is confirmed by the (Father's) Voice from the Cloud (of the
Shekinah) that in the Transfiguration says to Moses, Elijah,
Peter, James and John about our Lord Jesus The Christ: "...
listen to Him...".

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

The coming of the Prophet "like" God of Deuteronomy 18:15

has already occurred with our Lord Jesus The Christ, the Son
of Man and the Heavenly Father's Only Begotten Son.
The coming of the Prophet "Like" Moses of Deuteronomy
18:18-19, the "other Comforter", "the Father's Holy Spirit" is
for these "final days".

- III The Prophet like God

and The Prophet like Moses

The common understanding of Deuteronomy 18:15-19 is that it
speaks as if it were only a Prophet, for it is believed that in
Deuteronomy 18:15, Moses is speaking in the first person; i.e.
of himself:
"A Prophet from among YOU, from YOUR
brothers, like me, YHVH your God will set up for
you, you shall hearken to him..."
But if we understand that He who says: "Prophet among YOU"
is not Moses who is speaking of himself using "YOU", but it is
God who speaks through Moses' Mouth (*), the Prophet here is
the Prophet "like" God.
(*) "I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what
thou shalt say..." (Exodus 4: 12).
"... the seed of the woman [Gen. 3:15] & the
Prophet [Deut. 18:15] & the Shiloh [Gen. 49:10;
Deut. 18:18-19] spoken of by Moses..." (Isaac
Newton, "Our religion to Iesus Christ").
In Deuteronomy 18:15 it is God Who speaks through Moses'
Mouth, and (God) says: "Prophet ... like [or "equal to"] Me...".
In Deuteronomy 18:18 it is God Who SPEAKS to Moses,
saying to him: "Prophet ... like [or "equal to"] you...".
When John the Baptist was asked whether he was "Elijah" or
"the Prophet" (of Deuteronomy 18:15), he replied saying:
"No...".
Our Lord Jesus The Christ bore witness that Prophet Elijah was

http://www.testimonios-de-un-discipulo.com/They-Are-Two-Prophets-Deuteronomy-18%2015-19.html[22/01/2015 10:02:41 p.m.]

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

reincarnated in John the Baptist:

"And if you are willing to accept it, He [John the
Baptist] is the Elijah who was to come." (The Holy
Gospel According to St. Matthew 11:14).
The Prophet Elijah was indeed incarnated in John the Baptist.
But what spoke in John the Baptist when he was asked whether
he was the Prophet Elijah was another Soul called "the Little
Iao" which along with Prophet Elijah's Soul were reincarnated
in him.
In "The Pistis Sophia" (which contains the Gnostic Esoteric
Teachings that our Lord The Christ entrusted to His Disciples
after the Resurrection), Jesus The Christ our Lord explains to
us the Mystery of the incarnation of John the Baptist:
"Of the incarnation of John the Baptist."
"Now it happened that when I came into the midst of
the archons of the Aeons, I looked down at the
world of mankind, at the command of the First
Mystery. I found Elisabeth, the mother of John the
Baptist, before she had conceived him, and I cast
into her the power which I had received from the
little IAO, the Good, who is in the midst, He who
has the power to preach before me and to
prepare the way, and to baptise with water of
forgiveness of sins. That power is then in the body
of John."
"Moreover, in the region of the soul of the archons
which he was due to receive, I found the soul of
Elias in the Aeons of the sphere and I remove it
from there and receiving his soul again, I brought it
to the Virgin of light, and she gave it to her
receivers; they brought it to the sphere of the
archons and they cast it into the womb of Elisabeth.
Wherefore the power of the little IAO, he of the
midst, and the soul of the Prophet Elias were
bound in the body of John the Baptist. For this
cause you doubted at the time when I said to you
"John said, I am not the Christ", and you said to me,
"It is written that When the Christ shall come, there
will come Elias before Him, and he will prepare his
way". But when you said this to me, I replied to
you, "Elias has indeed come, and he has prepared
all things, as it is written, and they did to Him as
they pleased". And when I knew that you did not

http://www.testimonios-de-un-discipulo.com/They-Are-Two-Prophets-Deuteronomy-18%2015-19.html[22/01/2015 10:02:41 p.m.]

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

understand what I said to you concerning the soul of

Elias which is bound in John the Baptist, I answered
you openly and face to face, saying: "If it pleases
you to accept John the Baptist, He is Elias of whom
I have said that he will come"..." ("Pistis Sophia").
Th "Little IAO" within each of us is one of the Parts of the
Being.
But, in another meaning, the "Little Iao" is one of the "Seventy
Names" of Enoch-Metatron Sar haPanim, the "Prince of the"
Heavenly "Faces", the Angel of the Face of the Lord, who
prepared the Way of the Lord:
"As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send
my messenger [Angel] before your face, Who shall
prepare your way. The voice of one crying in the
wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, Make
his paths straight. John baptised in the
wilderness and preached a baptism of repentance
for the forgiveness of sins." (Mark 1: 2,4).
"Then [the pharisees] said to him [to John the
Baptist], Who are you, so that we may give an
answer to those who sent us? What do you say
about yourself? He said, I am the voice of one
crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way
of the Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said. Now they
had been sent from the Pharisees. They asked him,
and said to him, Then why are you baptising, if you
are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
John answered them saying: I baptise with water;
but among you stands one whom you do not know.
He is the one who comes after me: the thong of
whose sandal I am not worthy to untie. These things
took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where
John was baptising." (John 1:22-28).
When John the Baptist replied that he was not "Elijah" nor "the
Prophet", it was the part of the "Lesser Iao" reincarnated in
him that was answering, and not the Soul of the Prophet Elijah
who also was simultaneously incarnated in him along with the
portion of the "Little Iao".
In the "Hebrew Book of Enoch" or "Sefer Hekalot" EnochMetatron (Matatron) is called the "little Iao":
"I have seventy names, corresponding to the seventy
tongues of the world, and all of them are based
upon the Name of my King, the Holy One, Blessed

http://www.testimonios-de-un-discipulo.com/They-Are-Two-Prophets-Deuteronomy-18%2015-19.html[22/01/2015 10:02:41 p.m.]

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

be He, but my King calls me 'youth'... [...] the Holy

One, Blessed Be He,... called me the 'Little Iao' in
the presence of his whole household in the height,
as it is written: 'For My Name is in him'...". (Exodus
23, 21). ("Hebrew Book of Enoch", 12. 1, 5).
"... in the Zohar hakadosh in the Raayah Mihemnah
(Pinchas 219a): The neshamah of Moshe Rabeinu is
told that only he is permitted to employ Matatron
Sar HaPanim; for his name is alluded to by your
name."
It was the Voice of the Prophet Moses, "the voice of one crying
in the wilderness" and who prepares "the way of the Lord",
who Baptises with Water, the Angel of the Face of the Lord,
Enoch-Metatron, the Little Iao who, reincarnated in John the
Baptist, said that he was not the Prophet Elijah and "the
Prophet" either.
Obviously, John the Baptist did not say that he was not the
Prophet "like" Moses of Deuteronomy 18:18-19, but that he
was not "the Prophet" of Deuteronomy 18:15, the Prophet
"like" God.
John the Baptist confirmed that He was indeed "the voice of one
crying in the wilderness", who makes straight "the way of the
Lord, as the prophet Isaiah said". And he who baptises "with
water...", as our Lord Jesus The Christ says in the "Pistis
Sophia" that John the Baptist is " the little IAO, the Good,
who is in the midst, He who has the power to preach before me
and to prepare the way, and to baptise with water of
forgiveness of sins. That power is then in the body of John...",
the power of the Prophet of Deuteronomy 18:18-19, the
Prophet like Moses.
It is written of the Prophet Moses:
"10 And there has not arisen a prophet since in
Israel like Moses, whom YHVH knew face to
face;..." (Deuteronomy 34:10). "... Moses, the
faithful prophet, the greatest of all the prophets..."
(The Zohar). And likewise, it is written of John the
Baptist that "there is not a greater prophet than
John the Baptist..." (Luke 7:28).
Our Lord Jesus The Christ says about the aspect of Moses'
Soul, the Little Iao, "He who has the power to preach before
[Jesus The Christ] and to prepare the way", incarnated in John
the Baptist:

THEY ARE TWO PROPHETS! (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

"24 When the messengers of John had left, he began

to speak to the crowds concerning John, What did
you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed
shaken by the wind? 25 But, what did you go out to
see? A man clothed in soft clothing? Behold, those
who are gorgeously appareled and live in luxury are
in kings' courts. 26 But What did you go out to
see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a
prophet. 27 This is he of whom it is written,
Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
Who will prepare your way before you. 28 I tell
you, among those born of women there is not a
greater prophet than John the Baptist: yet he
who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than
He." (The Holy Gospel According to St. Luke 7:2428).
***
Tradition says that the Messiah must be born "in the land of
Israel". In the light of the Esoteric Wisdom, it means that when
an Initiate has incarnated the Messiah, who is the Intimate
Christ or Tifereth, he becomes a true Israelite as he is born out
of the Virginal Womb of the Holy Shekinah, who is "the Holy
Land", "the Land of Israel":
"... It is to be noticed that this Holy Land -the
Shekinah- is called 'the land of Israel'..." [...] "The
term 'holy land' refers to the Shekinah,..." (The
Zohar).
A True Israelite is the person who incarnates and realises
Tifereth.
A True Jew is the person who incarnates and realises Chokmah.
