Mark 1:21-28 The Teaching Power of Jesus
Deuteronomy 18: 15-20 Prophet Moses
The prophet Moses was applied to Jesus in interpreting the Messiah within the Christian tradition. Moses is the medium that determines the meaning of the present, and this text is applied to Jesus so that we can understand the ideology of the love of Jesus in the New Testament (love of God and love of neighbor) from the tradition of Israel and the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament.
The text must interpret the priestly roles of the prophets and Levites in ancient Israel in their context. The structure of the text includes a division between true prophecy and false prophecy.
In this text, the meaning of being a prophet is explored from two perspectives. Those perspectives explore what is and what is not prophecy. Prophecy is not a diversified list of acts that foretell future judgments, such as divination rituals by terrifying and antagonizing children. The form of prophecy is an attempt to secure the security of God's salvation while looking forward to a Lord-abhorring future against God's good nature. As it is the basis for holiness (separation from the world), in economics now descriptive words speak of God's salvation security. In this social context, economic market analysis becomes a modern version of an ancient prophecy. Capitalism is a monetary payment that predicts future earnings in events that share a belief system within economists. When the economy becomes an event, it is prophesied not only as an actual good work as a prospect of economic income, but also as a form of religion. Only God can be the provider. Economic actions are re-established by our daily economic actions in portraying the worship of other deities.
Prophecy shows the three attitudes of true prophecy. First, Moses presented the idea of true prophecy. Moses' actions implied the sacred promises of the earth. The focus of Moses' vocation was to become a model through the example of bringing the word of God to the situation that led the nation of Israel rescued from Egypt in the wilderness. Second, the choice of the prophetic leader must necessarily be a reflection of God's in worship rather than the cultural context towards the congregation of Israel.
