Jesus was the ULTIMATE PROPHET. The context does refer to all of those who spoke God's message, but mostly looks forward to Jesus himself.
Compare this with Jesus' teaching which is described for us in Luke 24:
13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a village called Emmaus. It was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
15 As they talked about those things, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them. 16 But God kept them from recognizing him.
17 Jesus asked them, “What are you talking about as you walk along?”
They stood still, and their faces were sad. 18 One of them was named Cleopas. He said to Jesus, “You must be a visitor to Jerusalem. If you lived there, you would know the things that have happened there in the last few days.”
19 “What things?” Jesus asked.
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet. He was powerful in what he said and did in the eyes of God and all of the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed Jesus over to be sentenced to death. They nailed him to a cross. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to set Israel free. Also, it is the third day since all this happened.
22 “Some of our women amazed us too. Early this morning they went to the tomb. 23 But they didn’t find his body. So they came and told us what they had seen. They saw angels, who said Jesus was alive. 24 Then some of our friends went to the tomb. They saw it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn’t see Jesus’ body there.”
25 Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are! How long it takes you to believe all that the prophets said! 26 Didn’t the Christ have to suffer these things and then receive his glory?”
27 Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.
28 The two men approached the village where they were going. Jesus acted as if he were going farther. 29 But they tried hard to keep him from leaving. They said, “Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 He joined them at the table. Then he took bread and gave thanks. He broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. But then he disappeared from their sight.
... Notice verse 25 and following. Jesus' purpose and ministry, THOUGH DESCRIBED BY THE PROPHETS, were misunderstood by MOST OF the Jews of his time, AND MANY IN OUR TIME AS WELL.

This is a reference to ALL future prophets. Notice that Moses said that the prophet HAD to be Jewish (since he was speaking to the Jews and said that he would raise a prophet "from among their brothers").
Since Muhammad was an Arab, and NOT a Hebrew, then according to Moses, Muhammad must be a false prophet. All of the true prophets were Hebrews (Jews); none of there were ever Arab, because the prophet Moses cannot lie.

The NT recalls the words of Peter in Acts chapter 3 vs. 22-23 and the martyr Stephen defines if in Acts 7 vs.35-38 both incidents applied to Jesus Christ.

No, it's not Jesus; it could be any of the prophets that came after Moses; Elijah, Elishah, Jonah, Ezekiel, and many others.

This prophecy was of a man to come from the Jewish lineage .
He had to be a Jew...it was Jesus....
As it is written, " All the prophets and the law bear witness of him".

what Deuterotomy is saying is that God Himself will raise up a prophet(Jesus)and that He will speak Gods words,but if someone comes and prophises and it does not come true it is not a real prophet.\,that if the prophet proves to be false and speaks in Gods name he will die
