I Corinthians 10:11
Excerpted from: The Wonderful Ordinance of Water BaptismSymbolically, the Israelites left their old lives in Egypt by going into what normally would have been a "watery grave." Anyone else on earth other than the Israelites would have been destroyed or killed in the waters of the Red Sea, as the Egyptians were.
In I Corinthians 10:11, God reveals that these Old Testament events occurred to be examples to Christians.
Israel had just come out of captivity in Egypt. God said that He was going to bring them up out of the land of oppression—that pagan land of strange customs and evil ways. So God sent Moses to deliver them from their bondage in the land of sin. Israel was in sin, living the wrong way. And God set His hand to deliver them.
This type of "immersion" was a veritable grave for anyone who was not an Israelite at that time, and Pharaoh and his men all perished in it. Pharaoh was still in sin and therefore was doomed.
Israel went through the Red Sea, picturing the death of that former way of life—then, coming up out of the grave by God's grace, they were to enter a new way of life, a promised land.
And so in the New Testament God requires Christians to crucify the old man, the former way, and to come up out of a watery grave into a better way of life. We are to walk in newness of life. The Israelites were a type of that when they came through the Red Sea. After being baptized they came into a newness of life.
Israel's baptism was only a type. That baptism was under the Old Covenant, a physical agreement with physical ordinances and material rewards. But notice what God says about the New Testament Covenant.
I Corinthians 10:11
Excerpted from: The Awesome Cost of SalvationGod caused these things to be recorded and then written so we would have instruction—especially us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come—so that we would have the right kind of instruction as to what in the world is going on; so that our lives would be filled with confidence—conviction—about the right things, about the right way to go. The word 'ends' means goals; it means the purposes, the reasons for everything, and the conclusion of what is going on.
When we look at it in a slightly different perspective and we can see it in terms of the ages that God has marked out, we know that this age, this aion, this period of time is going to end at the return of Jesus Christ. When it says here "upon whom the ends of the ages have come," it means the end of one thing and the beginning of another. As one age ends another is going to begin.
We can begin to understand that God is preparing you and me for what is to come. He has made it possible for these things to be recorded so we would be fully equipped to be able to conduct our life in the right way. Oh brethren, the scope of what God is working out here!! It is awesome! This has to be figured into, considered, if we are going to rightly discern Passover—the body and the blood of Jesus Christ. We will not be able to do it properly unless we can see this thing in its big sense.
I Corinthians 10:11
Excerpted from: The Time of Jacob's TroubleI Corinthians 10:11 says the things that happened to Israel happened as examples, meaning for us. They were written for our admonition. We cannot relegate the curses just to Israel. God works in patterns, and His character and nature are unchanging. While it is true that God is doing something different with His church than He was with Israel, it is also true that the church is accountable for much more than Israel was and is, making it even more likely that God will intervene when He sees something developing that is out of alignment with Him. As Hebrews says, His chastening is a demonstration of His love.
I Corinthians 10:6-11
Excerpted from: Passover and I Corinthians 10Five major sins of the Israelite people are listed here. We are going to find as we go through this that there was really, in one sense, only one major sin. But the others led to this major sin. That major sin was idolatry. The other sins they committed were just a step that took them into idolatry.
