Now these things happened to them as a pattern for us, and they were written for our admonition, unto whom the ends of the ages have come.
— 1 Corinthians 10:11
The history of the Children of Israel in their journey from Egypt to the Good Land is, beyond any question, a type of our spiritual journey, as the believers in Christ, from our living in the world until we win the prize of entering into the “sabbath rest” (Heb. 4:9) of reigning with Christ in the 1,000 years of His kingdom on the earth.
But, according to the apostle, in both 1 Corinthians 10 and Hebrews 3-4, this type is actually a very sober warning for the followers of Christ today. It shows us that, just as so many left Egypt with Moses in the Old Testament, yet failed to enter into the Good Land, so today there are many believers who have indeed received the free gift of salvation in Christ, but who will nonetheless fail to win the prize of reigning in the kingdom with Him.
May this picture stir so many of the Lord’s children today to rise up and follow Him in a much more serious way!
