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

Answered in 1 source

1 Corinthians 10:4 explicitly identifies the rock that provided water to the Israelites as Christ.

The affirmation that Christ is the rock in the Old Testament is clearly stated in 1 Corinthians 10:4, where it says that the Israelites drank from the spiritual rock that followed them, which was Christ. This passage connects the physical provision of water from the rock in Exodus 17 to the spiritual sustenance that believers receive from Jesus. The rock was not an ordinary rock; it symbolizes Christ, who, through His suffering, provides living water to quench the spiritual thirst of His people. This typology highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan throughout Scripture.
