What were the same spiritual food and spiritual drink that Israel ate and drank in the wilderness?
The same spiritual food was the manna Israel ate, and the same spiritual drink was the water that came out of the rock after Moses struck it. They drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.
Les explains that Israel was baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and they all ate the same spiritual food—the manna covered earlier—and all drank the same spiritual drink—the water that came out of the rock after Moses struck it. He emphasizes that the word “rock” is capitalized significantly because this rock continued and followed them, and that rock was Christ. He says to always remember it. He then points to Matthew chapter 16 and Peter’s confession, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” illustrating the need to maintain a biblical rule of order so that words are not used out of context.
