How do we know Christ is the rock in the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

1 Corinthians 10:4 explicitly states that 'that rock was Christ,' affirming His role as the source of spiritual nourishment.

The identification of Christ as the rock is made clear in 1 Corinthians 10:4, where Paul asserts, 'For they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.' This connection illustrates that the rock in the Old Testament was not merely a physical object but a typological representation of Christ. Throughout Scripture, Christ is portrayed as the foundation upon which believers build their faith, embodying both spiritual sustenance and salvation. The rock symbolizes strength, stability, and the provision of life, which is the essence of what Christ offers to His people.
