first cor.10:1-5

here is something that i got out of this passage.


In this passage, Paul refers to ancient Israel. Paul tells of the all the things that God had done for the Israelites like leading them with a cloud by day and a column of fire by night. Also, he speaks of going through the sea in reference to when God helped Moses split the Red sea and lead the Israelites out of the bondage of Egypt. He also shows how the Jewish people were unified under Moses. Paul tells the Corinthians of how all had food and water, then and always had water in the desert because of the rock that followed then around whist was Christ. However, God had become displeased with most of them. So, because of their extreme disobedience to the word of God, God had all of the Israelites over the age of 19 die, except for Joshua and Caleb.
Paul wants it to be known about the dangers of being over confident and not having self control.
