Moses was a prince of Egypt, having been adopted and raised by the daughter of the king (Exodus 2:5-11) Pharaoh, who was regarded by the Egyptian religion and people as 'a living god.' Moses the prince voluntarily left His throne to visit the Hebrews, his biological people (Exodus 2:11). Being God's chosen, (Numbers 12: 6-8, Psalm 106:23) Moses led them out of slavery to sinful, ungodly Egypt by the power of God (Psalm 77:20) and stood between the people and God, making intercession to save them (Exodus 32:30-32, Deuteronomy 9:18-19).

    Jesus, The Word of God, the Prince of Peace (John1:1, Isaiah 9:6) and a prince by physical descent from King David of ancient Israel (Luke 3, 2 Samuel 7:12-14) the Son of the Living God YAHVEH Elohim Almighty, (Psalm 110:1, Psalm 2:7-12, Ps. 45:6-7) left the glory He had with the Father before the world was (John 17:5, Proverbs 8:22-31, Isaiah 48:16). He came to His physical people Israel first (John 1:10-11, Isaiah 8:14-22) but after being rejected by the majority (Matthew 15:13, John 8:37-47, Isaiah 53:1) and only accepted by those Jews who were 'Israel' in spirit-circumcised in heart by faith, (Romans 2:25, Jeremiah 9:26, Romans 1:17 / Habakkuk 2:4) He then went to His people from the Gentiles-yet of Spiritual Israel (John 10:16, Isaiah 49: 6). He delivered us from bondage to sin in the world (John 6:51, Isaiah 53: 4-12) and became the mediator between God and man (Psalm 110:4, Isaiah 53: 4-12, 1 Timothy 2:5, Psalm 2:6-12, Isaiah 49:1-6 / 11:1-5).

And, it just so happens that Jesus fits the description of 'the prophet like unto Moses' (Deuteronomy 18:15-19, John 6:14) whom Moses himself said would come. Interestingly, after Moses' death, his successor Joshua (from whose name Jesus/Yeshua is a derivative) whom God raised up, led God's people into the promise of God which Moses could not do.

Key elements in the life of Moses actually paralleled the ministry of Jesus The Christ (Messiah). Some are chronologically similar occurring in the same order as in Jesus' life, some happen outside of this same order; but all still relate to each other, forming a picture overall. Many times simply removing the names from an old testament story and simply seeing the titles and events actually illustrates the ministry of Jesus Christ specifically (Luke 24:25-27).

All these Old testament examples are parables, types, shadows, symbols, allegories and prophecies pointing to the one true Savior they were only types of: Jesus Christ the Messiah.

"To Him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." (Acts 10:43)
