(The people of Israel as a Type-No. 1.) TEXT.-1 Cor. x. 1-12. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them. and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The peeple sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. I. The history of the Jews may be said to suit as a Type exactly with the progress of the history of Christianity. THE TYPE. At first the Jews were a people separated by their circumcision and worship of Jehovah, while they still lived amongst the Egyptians, who THE ANTITYPE. At first the Christians were a people entirely separated by their baptism and profession, while they still lived among heathen idolators; who by were heathen idolaters; and who, by their worshipping idols made the distinction between the two people more plain. Gen. xvii. 10-14; xliii. 32. Exod. viii. 25, 26. worshipping idols, made the distinction more plain between the World and the Church. 1 Cor. v. 9-13; vi. 5, 6; viii; x. 19-21. Acts xi. 26. II. During the course of about three hundred years, Christianity had made such progress, that the Emperor who governed the Romans (and whose power extended over almost all the countries which, at that time, were known in the world) ordered it to be proclaimed as the religion of the people, and directed the Heathen temples to be destroyed. This produced a great change in the circumstances of Christianity, which continues wherever the religion of Christ is established; and this change is suitably represented by the altered circumstances of the Jews when they had left Egypt, and were in the wilderness. It is the particular object of the text, to point out this difference, and to apply it as "a type" (called "example" verse 6) to the whole body of professing Christians, who form the visible Church on earth; to shew them that the same sort of danger and evil represented before, in type by the Egyptians, was, in the new state of things, to be found among themselves. The force of the passage is in making the words "all our fathers," and " 'all," in verses 1, 2, 3, and 4, stand in plain contrast with the words " many of them," and " some of them," in verses 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10, and to make the application in the 12th verse. 1. All the people were under the direction of God in the cloud, and all passed through the Red Sea. 1 Cor. x. 1. Exod. xiv. 19 -22. Ps. lxxviii. 13, 14. 2. All the Jews (having been before circumcised) were baptized in passing out of Egypt into the Wilderness under the protection of God's guidance. 1 Cor. x. 2. Ps. lxviii. 7-9. lxxxvii. 15-17, 1. All persons who make a profession of being christians form the outward body, called THE CHURCH, which, as the Church of Christ, is protected and guided for his name's sake. 1 Cor. i. 2. with iii. 1. Matt. xiii. 47; xxii. 10; xxv 1, 2. 3 John 9, 10. Matt. xvi. 18. Ps. cxxv. 2. 1 Sam. xii. 22. 2. All professing Christians are baptized when they pass from their old state by birth to their new situation as members of the Church. Mark xvi. 16. John iii. 5. |
