1 Corinthians 10:4

Spiritual drink; the water that flowed miraculously from the rock, and was a type of Christ. Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11.

Drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; it has been supposed that the water from the rock mentioned in Ex 17:6, followed the Israelites during their wanderings in the wilderness, till they approached Kadesh the second time. But perhaps the words "that followed them" refer to Christ the antitype, rather than to the material water that typified him.

That Rock was Christ; a figure, type, or representation of Christ; as when he said, Lu 22:19, This is my body, meaning a representation of his body.
