Moses was a prefigure of a coming Christ, whereas we proclaim He has come and will come again.
The story of redemption is God sending servants — His messengers — to feed, lead, and meet the greatest needs of those who trusted the messengers He sent. Prefigures of a coming Christ, like Noah, Joseph, and Moses — were sent before them to keep them alive. We are proclaimers not prefigures — witnesses that have been sent to testify He came to feed, lead, and meet the greatest needs. We bear witness to our Good Shepherd, Great Shepherd, and Chief Shepherd. Who, as our good shepherd, came for His sheep, who, as our great shepherd, is committed to His sheep, and who, as our chief, shepherd is coming for His sheep. For what? To feed, lead, and meet our every need.
