BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON OUTLINE
FOR NOVEMBER 10TH
CORINTHIANS, CHAPTER TEN

(By Apostle Willis F. Jordan)
GENERAL CHAPTER THOUGHT: OLD
TESTAMENT TYPES AND THE LORDS
SUPPER
I. THE THINGS WHICH HAPPENED
TO ISRAEL ARE EXAMPLES (TYPES)
TO THE CHURCH = Verses One to Twelve
l. The Apostle would enlighten the Church
relative to Israel being baptized unto Moses,
illustrative of our baptism unto Christ r
Verses One and Two.
Exodus 1921, p; 1854 Numbers 9:15-23;
II "a, Is; 12:4-10 14:14 Deuteronomy 1908;
Nehemiah 1912 10; Psalm 1914; 1O5:36-39
(2) For Israel passing through the sea,
read Exodus, Chapters II and IS; Numbers
$685. Joshua 4:23, "a; Psalm 1880; 1913, IA.
Thus, with the mountains the right and
left of them, the Egyptian army behind them,
pressing them forward, the pillar of cloud
and of fire before and over them, they were
Baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in
the sea-" as the two walls of water stood on
the right and left of them.
How very silly is the Methodist contention
for sprinkling in this incident, when they
teach that the cloud over them sprinkled
drops of rain water down upon them! Any
ten-year old real Bible student knows that
that cloud was the symbol of Gods Presence
with, or over, them not rain cloud at
all.
With the Exodus from Egypt, that CLOUD, {"
the Shekinah Cloud, the development of
Israers Jehovah = "the sign of the Son of
Man" in the First Heaven made its first
appearance. 1t remained with Israel until the
time indicated by Ezekiel in Ezekiel 8:2-4; 9:3
1914, 5, 1920; 11:22-25.
At the TRANSPORTATION, this "Cloud" of
Divine Glory temporarily enveloped the Son
of Man again = see Matthew H:1-7; Mark
81; Luke o:34, IS.
out of their sight" In that same "cloud" He
will return Daniel 1914 Revelation 14:14-
2O) In that same "c1oud" He will appear to
receive the Two Witnesses (Revelation 11:l2).
The idea of the Methodist bishops calling
that cloud" rain cloud!
and for the Church = Verses Three and Four
"a For the "meat," food, or bread, see
Exodus 16:l4-22 and John 6:26-63.
(2) For the drink, see Exodus H:1-6;
Numbers 202-l3; Psalm 78:15-H
(3) That Rock, smitten by Moses in the
Wilderness and cleft by the act of God, giving
Israel drink, typifed the Christ smitten and
cleft for us.
In the words, "that spiritual Rock that fol-
lowed Them" the word followed" should be
WENT WITH. The Christ, as "the Angel of
Jehovah" went with Israel He is with the
Church until the end Of the Age: Compare
Acts 1879 with Exodus 23:2O-25; 33:1-6)
3. Many of Israel backslid and persisted in
the Wilderness VERSES Five and Six And SO,
many draw back during the CHURCH Period.

g. These are types or examples to US upon
whom the ends of the ages are come" =
Verses Eleven and Twelve
G) Paul and his contemporaries were
standing at the ends of the two Ages - the
end of the Moasaical and the beginning of the
Dispensation of the Grace of God (Ephesians
3:2).
(2) The Church today stands at the close
of the Church Period (the present evil Age :
Galatians ~ and the dawning of the Mil
lenal Age Because of the times in which
we live, we ought to give special heed to
these types examples or illustrations. God is
no respector of persons Judgment always be-
gins at the house of profession - Israel then,
the Church now q Peter All, 18).
