And it shall be, that every soul that shall not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.

'SHALL BE UTTERLY DESTROYED FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE'-Notice that the O.T. clearly endorses Jesus as the final spokesman, the final law-giver, even. superior to Moses (Hebrews 1:1). Hence Moses warned the people, that. time was coming when God would make. change, God would send another Prophet, another Law-giver, and those people who didn't make the change with God, would be cut off. They would no longer be considered the people of God. Thus, Jews that rejected Christ, were in turn rejected by God (Acts 13:46).

We must stress that it shouldn't surprise any good student of the O.T. that the N.T. exists or that the Old Covenant was taken out of the way and the New Covenant was put in its place. That is exactly what the O.T. had taught. (Hebrews 8:1; Hebrews 9:1; Hebrews 10:1).
