This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
37. A Prophet shall God raise up. Stephen endeavoreth undoubtedly to prove by these words that Christ is the end of the law; although he doth not express the same in plain words. And assuredly, (as we have already said,) Luke reciteth not word for word all those things which Stephen uttered; but it is sufficient for him to note the principal points of matters.
After forty years buried in obscurity, Moses, now eighty and seemingly past service, enters his calling through a vision in the wilderness. This teaches that God confines Himself to no place; He met Moses in a remote desert as readily as in a temple. The bush burning unconsumed prefigures Israel in Egypt's furnace, afflicted yet unbroken, and perhaps foreshadows Christ: divinity manifest in flesh.
