The Promised Prophet is Jesus
All commentators agree that this verse is a significant prophecy pointing to Jesus Christ. The New Testament confirms this, with Peter in Acts 3 and Jesus Himself in John 5 referencing Moses' words. Scholars like Gill and Henry note that Jesus is the Prophet 'like unto Moses' but far greater—the ultimate Mediator, Redeemer, and the final Word from God.
