Warning from the history of Israel

1 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of my Father which is in Israel, All of them were under the clouds and all walked through the sea.
1 Corinthians 10: 1

2 And Moses baptized them in the cloud and in the sea;
1 Corinthians 10: 2

3 They all ate the same spiritual food.
1 Corinthians 10: 3

4 And they all drank the same spiritual water. From the spiritual rock that was with them. That rock was Christ.
1 Corinthians 10: 4

5 But God was not pleased with most of them. They were killed in the desert.
1 Corinthians 10: 5

6 And these things that happened are examples for us. We need to learn from these examples that we should not be tempted to do bad things.
1 Corinthians 10: 6

7 You must not worship idols, as some of them have done. It is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink. They got up to dance. ”
1 Corinthians 10: 7

8 We must not commit sexual immorality like some of them do. One of them in a day because of their sins
1 Corinthians 10: 8

9 Let us not tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted God. They died from the sting of the serpent, because they tried God.
1 Corinthians 10: 9

10 Don’t complain like many of them did. So those people were destroyed by the angel of death.
1 Corinthians 10:10

11 What happened to those people is an example for us. These things are written to warn us. We are living in the last days of history.
1 Corinthians 10:11

12 Therefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1 Corinthians 10:12

13 Every human being has the same urges that you have. But you can trust God. He will not let you test more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way out of this temptation. Then you will be able to tolerate it.
1 Corinthians 10:13

14 Wherefore, my dear friends, abstain from idolatry.
1 Corinthians 10:14

15 I speak to you as wise men; Judge for yourselves what I say.
1 Corinthians 10:15

16 The cup of blessing for which we give thanks and from which we drink; Does it not make us share in the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break and eat, does it not make us share in the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 10:16

17 There is one bread, and although we are many, we are all one body, for we all share that one bread.
1 Corinthians 10:17

18 Think of the people of Israel. Don’t those who eat the meat of the sacrifice share in the altar?
1 Corinthians 10:18

19 I do not mean that the meat sacrificed to idols is important, nor do I mean that idols are important.
1 Corinthians 10:19

20 But I say that the things which are offered to idols are not given to God, but to demons. And I don’t want you to be associated with demons.
1 Corinthians 10:20

21 You cannot drink from the cup of the Lord and from the cup of demons. You cannot share the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
1 Corinthians 10:21

22 Do we want to make the Lord jealous? Are we stronger than he? No
1 Corinthians 10:22

22 In just a short time, I will go where no one returns.
Job 16:22
