Who was “That Prophet?” about whom Jews were eagerly anticipating along with John and Jesus?

Jews had been in anticipating before the birth of Jesus not only for the advent of John and Jesus according to the prophecies but they have eagerly looking forward for the advent of the third person “That Prophet” promised in the prophecies which we can see in the flowing inquiry of the priests sent by Jews to John.

Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” He confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said “I am not.” “Are you that prophet?” And he answered, “No.” – John 1:19-21

On careful examination of the above verse it can be well ascertained that the then Jews were looking forward for the three persons those are- 1. Jesus 2. Elijah 3. That Prophet. What the reason behind the eager anticipation of Jews for the advent of the promised That Prophet is that- it had been mentioned about his advent in the following prophecy.

The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me you’re your midst, from your brethren. -Deuteronomy 18:15

The Apostle also had mentioned about the advent of “that prophet” according to the above prophecy after Jesus having ascended to heaven as follows.

For Moses truly said to the fathers, The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brethren. And it shall be that every soul who will not hear “that prophet” shall be utterly destroyed from among the people. – Acts 3:22, 23

However what the argument of the preachers is that- The promised that prophet is none other than Jesus. But what important to note is that Jesus himself refutes that he was not that prophet about whom the promise was made in prophecy.

WHAT JESUS HAS CLARIFIED ABOUT HIMSELF WHETHER HE WAS “THAT PROPHET” OR “MESSIAH?”

Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is the Prophet” Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?” So there was a division among the people because of Him. – John 7:42, 43

According to the above verse is can be well understood that there was a confusion raised among the people regarding Jesus that whether he was Messiah or promised that prophet! Now let us see what Jesus has given the clarification to take away their confusion towards him in the following verse.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the son of the living God.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. – Matthew 16:16, 17

JESUS HIMSELF REFUTES THAT HE IS NOT THE PROMISED “THAT PROPHET”

There has been raised a confusion about Jesus among the people that whether he was Messiah or promised that prophet! Seeing their confusion Jesus has asked to his immediate dispels to know what actually they believe about him to be. And asked them saying “But what do you say that I am?” having heard him Simon peter immediately responded saying “You are the Christ, the son of the living Father.” Jesus answered immediately “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah for the flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.” This part of the verse underlines on the fact that God has revealed about the status of Jesus that he was Messiah but God has not revealed that Jesus was “that prophet” about whom God has revealed and promised before hand in the prophecies. If this be fact how far it is reasonable to argue saying “Jesus was the that prophet promised in the prophecy (Deu 18:15,17) while Jesus confirm about himself to be “Messiah.”
