One of the signs of the prophet to come from Paran is that he will come with "ten thousands of saints" (Deuteronomy 33:2 KJV).
and or this..............
Deuteronomy 18, Moses stated that God told him: " I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name I myself will call him to account"

who will be led by a man like Moses. Most likely, going by Daniel 12:1, that man will be Michael.
At least that was logically thought out! But not Daniel either he didt come from Paran and didn't travel in groups of 1000.... the other word for Paran is MECCA..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It means a man that cannot read or write will come from Mecca and he will have 10,000 followers exactly the amount exactly the location that Muhammed PBUH was predicted and has committed. Jesus and Moses spoke of him and they used so many words to discribe him... ONE THE COMFORTER everytime you see that word in the bible it refers to Muhammed PBUH.. Moses and Jesus both spoke to him in heaven when he spoke to Allah... and they both said.. "Peace unto you BROTHER"!

Dude: Deut: 33 has nothing to do with Deut. 18. Deut. 18 speaks of the past and not of a coming prophet. Besides, it is a blessing from Moses to the people of Israel.
Deut. 18 speaks of God raising up Moses' successor. If you read further on you will find that this person was Joshua who took over after Moses went to be with the Lord.
I highly suggest that you slow down a bit when reading passages that bring confusion. I also recommend that you get a Bible dictionary which will expand your knowledge greatly. I recommend the Baker Theological Dictionary of the Bible. You can get it at Amazon for about twenty of so dollars.
Cheers,

Deut 18:15-20
Verse 15 should be translated in a frequentative way: Yahweh your God will raise up for you again and again a prophet like me. This verse authenticates the whole prophetic movement by making the prophets heirs of the Mosaic prestige and authority. They will be like Moses in that they will hear the word from God and deliver it to the people.
Deuteronomy 34:10 understands this verse eschatologically. The writer notes that no prophet has ever lived up to Moses and therefore God is expected to still send such a prophet. At Qumran and in the New Testament this hope for a prophet is attested. When Jesus fed the 5,000, feeding them like Moses with food from heaven, people hailed him as a prophet.
Verse 16 gives the history of the mediatorial role of Moses. To hear God's voice directly was too frightening. People wanted Moses as a buffer between themselves and God.
Verse 19 indicates with what seriousness the word of the prophet should be received: God himself holds people accountable for it.
But verse 20 also deals with the issue of false prophets--they deserve to die! Two criteria are given for detecting a false prophet. A. The false prophet speaks in the name of other gods. A good criterion, but normally false prophets are much more subtle in their deception. Note that Hananiah the false prophet in the days of Jeremiah was known to have said, "Thus says Yahweh." B. The second criterion is that the false prophet speaks a word God has not given them. But how are we to know that?
The Old Testament gives two other criteria for identifying false prophets. C. They say something that doesn't happen. The trouble with this criterion is that we often have to make a decision today and can't wait for history to prove the prophet true or false. In addition, some of the biblical prophets said things that never happened (e.g. Second Isaiah). D. The prophets who prophesy "peace" are false prophets. These are the prophets who say everything is ok and there is no need for repentance. When we judge someone's teaching, we judge it on whether it conforms to what we know to be true from the central word of the Gospel. If someone promises you riches if you believe in God, that does not conform to what we know the Gospel to be. So also if the person claims that we are saved by our own efforts.

Deuteronomy18 continues in saying that if the prophet speaks something that does not come to pass, God did not send him, and he is not to be feared.
As for Deut. 33, there is also this verse....
Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exo 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
As to what it means, it means there will be a second exodus, a return into the land of Israel, for the lost tribes, who will be led by a man like Moses. Most likely, going by Daniel 12:1, that man will be Michael.

Moses was talking about Jesus.
Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered over and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. 14 But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. 16 And his name--by faith in his name--has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all. 17 "And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But what God foretold by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer, he thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, 21 whom heaven must receive until the time for restoring all the things about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago.
22 Moses said, 'The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.' 24 And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, 'And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.' 26 God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness."

This was when Moses was blessing all of Isreal (ALL 12 TRIBES not just the Jews). This is referring to the faithful in the last days, basically NOW. Read the entire chapter and you will learn that. See the link below:

Truth has always been the deciding factor.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice and they follow me".
The Bible talks about those who "Hold the truth in unrigteousness".
Jesus is that prophet Moses spoke of.

Actually it is Jesus. Peter mentions that verse in Acts 3:22 applying it to Jesus. Jesus was among the Jewish brethren.

The Prophet raised up is Jesus.
Deuteronomy 18:18-19 (KJV)
18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
