20 And the Lord will surely prepare a way for his people, unto the fulfilling of the words of Moses, which he spake, saying: A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that all those who will not hear that prophet shall be cut off from among the people.

While standing face to face with God, Moses was told “thou art in the similitude of mine Only Begotten” (Moses 1:6). To <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Israel</st1:country-region></st1:place>, Moses was a miracle worker, redeemer, deliverer, liberator, mediator of a covenant, lawgiver, revelator, prophet, priest, and king. In each of these things and in many more he was a prophetic foreshadowing of what the Christ would be. All prophets, for those of their own day, are types of living prophecies of what Christ is. For that matter, every man who holds and honors the priesthood typifies what Christ is.
