1 CORINTHIANS 10:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. — The water from the rock (petra) is pneumatikon potērion (spiritual drink). The striking claim: he petra ēn Christos (the rock was Christ). Paul identifies Christ as the source of Israel's sustenance in the wilderness, retroactively presenting Christ as the life-giver throughout Israel's history. This is not merely typology but ontological identification.
