Numbers 20:8 open_in_new
speak ye unto the rock before their eyes
See (Exodus 17:5).
( See Scofield) - (Exodus 17:5).
The rock (Christ) (1 Corinthians 10:4) once smitten, needs not to be smitten (crucified) again. Moses' act exalted himself (Numbers 20:10) and implied (in type) that the one sacrifice was ineffectual, thus denying the eternal efficacy of the blood; (Hebrews 9:25); (Hebrews 9:26); (Hebrews 10:3); (Hebrews 10:11); (Hebrews 10:12). The abundant water (grace reaching the need of the people, despite the error of their leader) tells of refreshing and power through the Spirit.
