Moses' prophecies

Moses was a Hebrew born in Egypt about 3400 years ago. He received a formal education and led his fellow Hebrews out of Egypt to the border of Canaan, which later became Israel. He is credited with having written the first five books of the Bible - of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy - which are sometimes called the "Books of Moses" or the "Pentateuch." He gave prophecies that, collectively, form a cycle of punishment and restoration for the people of Israel. The fulfillment of these prophecies guided the people into completing the tasks for which God had chosen them, to hear the words of God, to write the words of the Bible, and to be the people from whom the Messiah would come.
