1 Coríntios 10

1 Coríntios 10

Barclay says "the man who is pneumatikos is the man who is sensitive to the Spirit and whose life is guided by the Spirit." Pneumatikos held a special significance for the Corinthians. Paul, as well as his opponents, contended that some people were more “spiritual” than others. While the opponents believed that such spirituality evidenced itself in the speech or knowledge of a person, Paul showed that true spirituality first and foremost is demonstrated in loving and caring for one’s fellow human being. Note pneumatikos is a Key Word in 1 Corinthians where it occurs 15 times. - Rom. 1:11; Rom. 7:14; Rom. 15:27; 1 Co. 2:13; 1 Co. 2:15; 1 Co. 3:1; 1 Co. 9:11; 1 Co. 10:3; 1 Co. 10:4; 1 Co. 12:1; 1 Co. 14:1; 1 Co. 14:37; 1 Co. 15:44; 1 Co. 15:46; Gal. 6:1; Eph. 1:3; Eph. 5:19; Eph. 6:12; Col. 1:9; Col. 3:16; 1 Pet. 2:5 1 Corinthians 10:4 and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

Numbers 20:8-11+ Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water. You shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their beasts drink.” 9So Moses took the rod from before the LORD, just as He had commanded him; 10 and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, “Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?” Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank. Psalm 78:15; 20+ He split the rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths. 20 “Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide meat for His people?” (See The Smitten Rock! - George Everard, 1885) Psalm 105:41+ He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river. Moses Strikes the Rock DIVINE DESERT DRINK FOR ISRAEL! And all drank the same spiritual drink - For the fifth time Paul mentions ALL of Israel received the provision of spiritual drink, which was literal water God miraculously provided in the desert wandering for 40 years. And just as with spiritual food, the spiritual water describes supernatural water provided by God Who is spirit. It was not spiritual water in the sense of making the Israelites more "spiritual," for their repeated sins against Yahweh (four of which Paul will describe) show the opposite occurred. For - Term of explanation. Paul explains the nature of their spiritual drink. They were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed (akoloutheo) them - All Israel was drinking spiritual drink from this spiritual rock, not a literal rock! Followed is in the present tense which suggests the spiritual rock was continually going along behind, coming up after Israel throughout their 40 years of wilderness wandering However there is no OT passage which clearly states a literal rock followed Israel for 40 years. The Jews had a legend which said this was the case, but other than this NT passage, there is no OT passage that says a rock actually, literally followed Israel in the desert. The point is that Jehovah had provided for all of the needs of Israel for 40 years after He rescued them out of Egypt. The Messiah was with Israel in their wilderness wanderings as their continual Protector and Sustainer. THOUGHT - In support of the premise that Christ in some way not specifically stated in Scripture provided water for the nation of Israel from the beginning is that after Moses struck the rock and brought forth water at Horeb (Ex 17:1-3+ = Israel "quarreled...grumbled", Ex 17:6-7+ = Moses struck rock and water came forth), there is no record over the next 39 years of Israel ever needing water and no record of Israel's grumbling that there was no water. However toward the end of the 40 year journey, after most of the first generation had been destroyed in the wilderness, Moses records a second "no water" episode in Nu 20:2+ which prompted the second generation Israelites to contend with Moses (Nu 20:3-5+). Once again God gave instructions on how to bring forth water from a rock, this time by speaking to it. Sadly, in anger Moses struck the rock and while water did come forth, Moses' sin disqualified him from entering the promised land (cf disqualified in 1 Cor 9:27+)! Here's the point - Christ provided water to Israel for most of the 40 year wilderness journey.
