The Lord Your God Will Raise Up for You a Prophet Like Me From Among You

As moses prepares for his own death and that transition, he starts speaking of the future. He tells them god is going to raise up another another like me. The jews said, now in a very practical sense, who was that? Joshua. And so they were waiting for what many called second moses. Another name for it could be a messianic figure. It could be understood and talked about in a lot of different ways. They were waiting for elijah.
