It is important to look at the prophetic words of Moses. When this is done, we can examine what happened after Moses left to see if God did anything to try to fulfill the proclamation of Moses. Deuteronomy 33:13-17 contains a prophetic word by Moses. Before he left he described the person in this passage who will come in the future that he wants to anoint.
13 Blessed by the Lord be his land, with the precious gifts of heaven from the dew and from the deep that couches beneath,
14 With the precious things of the fruits of the sun and with the precious yields of the months,
15 With the chief products of the ancient mountains and with the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 With the precious things of the earth and its fullness and the favor of the goodwill of Him Who dwelt in the bush. Let these blessings come upon the head of Joseph, upon the crown of the head of him who was separate and prince among his brothers.
17 Like a firstling young bull his majesty is, and his horns like the horns of the wild ox; with them he shall push the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
In order for this word of Moses to be relevant for us today, God would have to create a judgment day biblical figure with the characteristics described in his statement. If biblical prophets came and built a way for this person to exist, then this statement by Moses does become reality.
Moses built upon the blessing Jacob gave his son Joseph with this word. Both Moses and Jacob indicate this future biblical figure will be a nazarite since they say he is separated from others. Moses built on the word of Jacob by adding this future person will come from a wealthy country. He also added that God will give him the ability to lead everybody in the world, including the Jews.
At the time Moses said this, only Jacob and himself had contributed to the building of this future biblical figure. More information is needed from other prophets who were not yet born.
Moses calls this future biblical figure majestic. What could this biblical figure do to deserve to be called majestic? The words of Moses show what he wants to destroy. He wants to destroy murder since he says those who lie in wait to kill others deserve to die. Moses also hated the killing of Jews by outsiders. He only associated with God killing Jews. Moses also hated the way people live in the world. He hated how they walk on by and seek a life of comfort while little ones are killed alongside the road. Moses himself was once one of these little ones until he was rescued. Moses also associated deliverance from sin with looking upon an individual hanging on a pole. This is very similar to the teaching about Jesus dying for others sins. So in order for the future biblical figure to be majestic, God would have to use him to destroy murder, people killing Jews, the killing of little ones, and respect for Jesus.
Unless the prophets who come after Moses build these exact features, the majestic person Moses dreams of could never exist. The great thing about the bible is that the prophets did build transactions that take place between God and the future biblical figure. The things Moses hates are being destroyed. So the word of Moses has been proven to be true.
This important passage God gave Moses also has another important angle to look at. It gives god the last word against anyone who comes along and associates with words he never wanted anything to do with.
For instance, the author of the qu’ran says made a proclamation where he says ‘don’t be friends with Christians or Jews, they are friends with each other’. The author of the qu’ran also affiliates with Moses. Moses is a Jew. Why would a Jew like Moses want anything to do with this individual. Obviously, this individual is not anybody Moses would want to anoint. The word of Moses says he put a future biblical figure in charge of the Jews who does majestic things. Telling people not to be friends with Jews is not a majestic achievement. It alienates Jews from wanting anything to do with the author of the qu’ran. It thoroughly justifies Jews when they look elsewhere for truth.
Where, then, should Jews look for truth? They should look to the bible. There they will find strategy that is designed to end the murder of Jews. The bluster of the author of the qu’ran against Jews means he is destined to fall in Israel to one who fulfills the biblical strategy which crushes the murder of Jews.
This confrontation between the troubled author of the qu’ran and the strategy against murder is found in Isaiah 28:18-21. There it says, ‘And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with the place of the dead shall not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, then you will be trodden down by it. As often as it passes through, it will take you; for morning by morning will it pass through, by day and by night. And it will be utter terror merely to hear and comprehend the report and the message of it. For the killers will find that the bed is too short for a man to stretch himself on, and the covering too narrow for him to wrap himself in. For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim, He will be wrathful as in the Valley of Gibeon, that He may do His work, His strange work, and bring to pass His act, His strange act.
These words by Isaiah are a major threat for the author of the qu’ran since Isaiah is saying the source of confidence for the jihadists will fail them.
This word by Isaiah also should make a reader wonder what the strange act of God is that will end the killing of Jews in Israel.
The blessing of Moses on the wild ox is perfect for the Jews. It is a strange act by God to build acts for the ox of Moses to perform that are majestic enough for God to intervene against the murder of Jews. The fact that the bible was built to produce this outcome produces solid evidence that Isaiah is right and God has a plan to intervene against the killing of Jews.
