哥林多前書 10
1弟兄們,我不願意你們不曉得,我們的祖宗從前都在雲下,都從海中經過。
For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea.
2都在雲裏海里受洗歸了摩西。
They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.
3並且都吃了一樣的靈食。
They all ate the same spiritual food
4也都喝了一樣的靈水。所喝的是出於隨着他們的靈磐石。那磐石就是基督。
and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.
過紅海的所有以色列人全部都受洗,吃了靈食,喝了靈水!這明確表明:出埃及過紅海的以色列人是神借預表的基督救贖重生的人!這對應保羅後來說:希伯來書11:29他們因着信,過紅海如行干地。埃及人試着要過去,就被吞滅了。By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
摩西是神的僕人,從神那裡傳下舊約律法!是舊約律法時代的開始!受洗歸入摩西,就是歸入舊約律法!也就是歸入神!來11:29他們因着信,就是信神,歸向神。同樣,出14明確說過紅海的以色列人信服敬畏神!
出埃及14
31. 以色列人看見耶和華向埃及人所行的大事,就敬畏耶和華,又信服他和他的僕人摩西。 31. And when the Israelites saw the great power the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant.
同樣,歸入基督就是歸入基督新約恩典,歸入神!
即便是摩西的舊約律法,也有了基督新約恩典的預表和應許!林前10:4也都喝了一樣的靈水。所喝的是出於隨着他們的靈磐石。那磐石就是基督。又如:
希伯來書3
5摩西為僕人,在神的全家誠然盡忠,為要證明將來必傳說的事。
Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future.
6但基督為兒子,治理神的家。我們若將可夸的盼望和膽量,堅持到底,便是他的家了。
But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.
啟示錄單列摩西和羔羊的歌,就因為二者是舊約和新約的代表!
啟示錄 - 第 15 章 第 3 節
唱神僕人摩西的歌,和羔羊的歌,說,主神,全能者阿,你的作為大哉,奇哉。萬世之王阿,(世或作國)你的道途義哉,誠哉。
羅馬書10
4律法的總結就是基督,使凡信他的都得着義。
Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5摩西寫着說,人若行那出於律法的義,就必因此活着。
Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them."
摩西為代表的律法的義,已經隨着基督對律法的總結彰顯在基督身上!新約下的人不再在律法之下,但律法的良善和義從來沒有廢去!
