3:22-23 What significant truth underlies Moses' prophecy here?
The significant truth underlying Moses' prophecy here is that salvation is a free-will choice. Individuals choose for themselves whether or not they want to be saved. God has not already determined it.
If they choose to hear and obey Jesus they will be saved. If they choose not to hear and obey Him they condemn themselves to hell (CP Jn 3:16-18, 36).
