Moses says that God will later raise up a prophet like him from among the people; they must listen to him.
Moses was the prophet who spoke with God face to face and led the people out of slavery. In John, people ask John the Baptist: 'Art thou that prophet?' That shows they were waiting for this one special prophet. In his second sermon Peter says openly that Jesus is that prophet.
