Beginning At Moses

For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10 NIV ESV NASB KJV)

All prophecy in the Bible centered on this person who is the Messiah and on the nation Israel. In fact, the very first prophecy in the Bible is about the Messiah (Genesis 3:15). Thus on the road to Emmaus, Jesus was able to explain to Cleopas and the other disciple what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27 KJV)

This is also one way to distinguish between false prophets and true prophets. No false prophet will ever make Jesus the center of his message. False prophets may talk about God, may prophecy, may perform miracles, but they will never talk about the Messiah and Israel. This will never be the center of their message because God had put enmity between the seed of the serpent and the Seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15).
