"But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" John 5 45-47
There are a few issues with this particular text.
1. The Torah itself proves that Moses did not write it himself, because at the end of Deuteronomy it mentions after the death of Moses and the fact that 'Never again did there arise in Israel a prophet like Moses'. Deu 34:10
2. How could Moses be their accuser? Were they told that Moses would return to the Jewish people? I have seen no evidence of it.
3. Moses informed the people what the LORD had told him, that he would raise up a prophet like him. Was Jesus like Moses? No. There is no evidence that the one known as Jesus in scripture had a skin disease just for starters.
4. The people did not believe Moses to begin with, and it was same with all of the real prophets. As we know the people even killed the prophets that were sent to help them. "Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not." Acts 7:25
5. So where did Moses write about Jesus if he never wrote anything himself? In those days, the days of Moses, teachings were given orally. Although sometimes there was a scribe. In Mark 12:26, it mentions the 'Book of Moses'. Yet, there is no such book with that name in the Torah.
6. King David was given the new revelation about the Lute of Lovingkindness that would come at daytime. In my humble view the Lute was the divine instrument of the LORD that became known as Jesus Christ in the scripture. The book of Luke 24:44 also mentions him being mentioned in the law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. That Psalm is psalm 92.
The law was given through Moses and Grace and Truth through Jesus Christ John 1:17
7. Some might say that Jesus was the prophet that was raised up by the LORD, the evidence is the contrary. First Jesus did not have the name that was hidden in the scriptures e.g. 'raised' up. QUM, that is KIM in English. Furthermore, Jesus was not a descendent of Joseph. Although John called him 'Son of Joseph'. John 1:45. So how could he be Son of Joseph and Son of David at the same time?
8. In the book of Mark Elijah and Moses are together. The book of Malachi also mentions Elijah. Its a known fact that many Jewish people were waiting for the return of the Spirit of Elijah. So how could Jesus have fulfilled the Malachi prophecy if he told the people Elijah had already come? The sun of righteousness with healing in their rays, and the Messenger of the Covenant are one and the same. First they were a healer, then they were a Messenger. Just like it is written, first a seer and then a prophet that is the Messenger of the Covenant. The everlasting covenant that Prophet Isaiah predicted would be given as their reward.
9. Moses appears again in the book of Revelation chapter 15 and that chapter is about the plagues.
"They held harps given them by God and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb". 'The temple is filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and nobody could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed". Chapter 21 then mentions New Jerusalem, the wife of the lamb and the seven plagues again. As the lamb as a wife, doesn't that indicate two lambs? There are two lambs mentioned in Rev 14.
"I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp." The lamb is symbolic of a tender hearted soul.
