The tradition of prophets in the Old Testament goes all the way back to Moses. But in Deuteronomy we’re told to anticipate a future prophet.

  1. Read Deuteronomy 18:15-20, and then read Ezekiel 2:3-8 and its description of a “son of man” who will be a prophet. Note language in Ezekiel that echoes the Deuteronomy passage.
A Prophet Like Moses

The role of the prophet is to be a spokesman. The spokesman is not responsible for how the people respond, but for fulfilling his duty before God. As we saw in the Deuteronomy passage, a false prophet claims to speak for God when he doesn’t, or speaks on behalf of other gods. Ezekiel does not speak for himself but rather of what “the Sovereign LORD says.”
