A Prophet like Moses – “The Slaughter of the Innocents”

At the time when Moses and Jesus were born, the ruler of the country ordered the killing of all the male infants in the region.

Exodus 1:22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, "Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall cast into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live."

Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage. And he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all its region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men.

There are many signs and wonders that Jesus did that were like those done by Moses – can you find them? It is important that you know that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15-19 so that you aren’t deceived into thinking it was someone else. Do you know what religion claims that someone else fulfilled the prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15-19?
