Old Testament Story Pictures • Red Sea - salvation baptism in water • Desert - dying to self, dying to slavery, learning obedience • Promised Land - Overcoming life, strongholds destroyed, Abundant life • Jordan - second baptism, empowerment under Yshua (Moses, Law cannot take you in). 13
Compare Israel & Corinthians • • • Both recently born Both in desert Both receiving fresh Scripture Both looking back to slavery Both waiting for the return of their leader Both complaining, grumbling, testing God, idolatry and sexual immorality 14
…and that Rock was Christ. (10: 4) • In Exodus 17 Moses is told to strike the Rock once: the Law broke the Rock and water flowed. • In Numbers 20 Moses is told to speak to the Rock and water comes out, but Moses struck it twice 15
It is possible to displease God in your life and yet be saved. 1. God was not pleased with Moses because he violated the pattern. 2. God made him die in the desert. 3. God prevented Moses from going into the Promised Land. 4. Luke 9: 30 has Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus on what appears to be Mt Hermon “in glory” Luke 9: 31. 5. Moses was saved eternally. 16
Now these things were our examples… • • What follows are four stories that are examples Please do not forget the story of Moses while you read these – Consequences – Grace 17

Neither be ye idolaters, as [were] some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. (10: 7) You grind it up, you mix it with the water of the Word, and you drink the water with the ground up idol in it. (Ex 32) Reminds us of the test for an unfaithful wife in Numbers 5. Idolatry and sexual immorality often linked 19

Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. (10: 8) 21

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (10: 9) • Numbers 21: 4 -9 • Paul doesn’t put the stories in order • Serpents bite between idolatry at the beginning (Ex 32) and sexual immorality at the end (Nu 25 -31) • Read it 28
Background: Fear and Presumption back to the desert 29
Numbers 21 Where did this take place? 30
A Second Chance: winding through the dysfunctional family Ammon Moab Edom 31
Paul’s Life History tracked that pattern: desert then family http: //www. anova. org/sev/atlas/htm/index. html PONTUS MEDES Roman Empire ELAM 30 AD 35 AD Antioch 40 AD 45 AD 50 AD 3 rd Ephesus Arabia 2 nd Corinth 1 st 55 AD 60 AD 65 AD 32 70 AD
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (10: 9) And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. (Nu 21: 5) 33
The serpent as a type of Jesus? 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 34
The Serpent as a type of Jesus! • • Look back and get tired. Look forward and get afraid. Look around at family issues and grumble. Look down and get bitten and the poison of sin is in you • Jesus became sin for us like a bronze serpent while still alive on the cross • Look up to him and see your sin on him and believe and live 35
