Since that time, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses
on Deuteronomy 34:10-11
At 18:15 God promised a prophet like Moses, and this verse reports that none has risen, so the Torah ends with its promise open. Acts 3:22 and 7:37 apply the promise to Christ.
This site's exposition
all the signs and wonders
The LORD sent Moses to do signs and wonders in Egypt, and the pair has a later history. Stephen uses it of Moses at Acts 7:36. Peter uses it of Jesus at Acts 2:22, and John Wesley holds that the miracles of Christ were more illustrious than those of Moses.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
In all the signs and the wonders which the Lord sent him to do,....
The apostle, in his epistle to the Hebrews, largely proves the pre-eminence of Christ above Moses, as a good reason why we that are Christians should be obedient, faithful, and constant, to that holy religion which we make profession of. God, by his grace, make us all so!

there arose not a prophet since--In whatever light we view this extraordinary man, the eulogy pronounced in these inspired words will appear just. No Hebrew prophet or ruler equalled him in character or official dignity, or in knowledge of God's will and opportunities of announcing it.
