RKC: You hurt Jesus and don't even know it. If there is a prophet so great that Moses foretold of him and this prophet hadn't come before Jesus, it is almost a must that Jesus should prophecise about him as well.

Based on the below the Holy Spirit is unlikely.

1. The Deut 18:18 can't apply to Jesus (John 1:19-21), so it must be fulfilled after Jesus left this Earth.

2. Paul wrote "spirit" can be synonymous with "prophet" (1 John 4:1).

3. A "One from Mount Paran (the same place Ishmael and Hager settled according to "Genesis 21:21)" is referred to as "Holy" (Habakkuk 3:3), so a Holy Spirit who is a Prophet is possible.

4. In the Codex Syriacus, John 14:26 reads; "Paraclete, the Spirit"; and not "Paraclete, the Holy Spirit.".

5. The prophecy says like a dozen times….."he". If it was the Holy Ghost, then "it" would have been used.
