Explained connections
- Amalek remembered
After Amalek attacks Israel in the wilderness, God vows to blot out its memory. Generations later Samuel sends Saul against Amalek on the basis of that event, and Saul's disobedience costs him his kingdom.
- The rock was Christ
Moses strikes the rock at Horeb and water flows for the people. Paul says they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ — the clearest typological statement in Paul's letters.
