01. Lessons from the Dispensation of the Law part 2 (1 Corinthians 10:6-11)
1 Corinthians 10:6 examples is τύπος (ŏs), means what is created by repetitive hits from something hard onto a soft material. Later it also became a model, pattern, or even a role model in its broadest definition (cf. John 20:25)

• A type or example in Scripture is different from a parable. A parable can be a true or made-up story, but it contains a hidden kernel of truth regarding God's work. It is often unseen at first glance and requires clarification. A type in Scripture can be something historical that speaks of an event in the future, but all the details perfectly match up.**
• Jonah is an example of a type in Scripture (cf. Matthew 12:38--40). The belly of the fish represents the Garden tomb, and Jonah being vomited out of the fish (Jonah 2:10) after being in the belly for 3 days and 3 nights (Jonah 1:17) reflects Jesus rising from the grave on the 3rd day.

lust after** is ἐπιθυμητής (ĕpithumētēs), means passionately desiring. It is found only here.

evil things is κακός (ŏs), meaning evil, depraved or bad in nature.

• Where in the Hebrew Scriptures is Paul referring to the lusting of their forefathers? (Numbers 11:1-35; Psalm 78:27--31; Psalm 106:14--15).

• In 1 Corinthians 10:7 idolaters is εἰδωλολάτρης (ĕidōlŏlatrēs), one who worships idols. Found 7x (1 Corinthians 5:10-11; 6:9; 10:7; Ephesians 5:5; Revelation 21:8; Revelation 22:15).
**
• Where in the Scriptures did the people eat, drink, and play? (cf. Exodus 31:18--32:35; Deuteronomy 9:12; Deuteronomy 9:16--21; Nehemiah 9:18; Psalm 106:19--20).

• Paul wrote about not keeping company with
idolaters (1 Corinthians 5:11; 6:9; 8:7).

1 Corinthians 10:8 let us commit fornication** is πορνεύω (ŏrnĕuō), *to play the harlot* (1 Corinthians 6:18). Paul is referring to Numbers 25:1--9; Revelation 2:14; Psalm 106:29.

1 Corinthians 10:9 let us tempt is ἐκπειράζω (ĕkpĕirazō), means *to *thoroughly put to the test. Found only 4x (Matthew 4:7; Luke 4:12; Luke 10:25; 1 Corinthians 10:9).
**
• Notice that Paul says that their forefathers in the wilderness were tempting Christ, the pre-incarnate
Christ (cf. Exodus 17:1-7; Deuteronomy 6:16; Psalm 78:18; Psalm 78:56; Psalm 95:9; Psalm 106:14; Hebrews 3:8--11).

were destroyed** is ἀπόλλυμι (ŏllumi), means *completely destroy* (cf. 1 Corinthians 1:18-19; 8:11). One of the most powerful Greek words to describe an ultimate irreparable destruction.
• Paul is speaking of the account in Numbers 21:4--6.

1 Corinthians 10:10 murmur ye is γογγύζω (ŏgguzō), which is an onomatopoeia, a word that has its origin in the sound of people murmuring in an unintelligible voice of displeasure or complaint (cf. Mt 20:11; Luke 5:30; John 6:41; 6:43; 6:61; 7:32; 1 Corinthians 10:10-2x).

destroyer** is ὀλοθρευτής (ŏlŏthrĕutēs), *a destroyer*, found here in the Greek Scriptures.

• The children of Israel murmured in the wilderness when they were without water and food (Exodus 15:24; 16:2--9; 17:2--3; Numbers 14:27--30; 16:41; Psalm 106:25).
****
• In Exodus 12:23 we read the destroyer or literally, the destruction, was accomplished by the Lord, not a death angel at the Passover as some erroneously believe (cf. Hebrews 11:28). We see that it was indirectly the Lord who did the destruction in 2 Samuel 24:16; 2 Chronicles 32:21; Acts 12:23. In the Tribulation, the destruction comes from the Lord.

1 Corinthians 10:11 admonition is νουθεσία (ŏuthĕsia), means to put into the mind instruction or admonition. Found 3x in the Greek Scriptures (Ephesians 6:4; Titus 3:10)
**
• Some might wonder why the use of
examples and ensamples**. John Bois, in his book Translating for King James: Being a true copy of the only notes made by a translator of King James's Bible gives us some insight into this passage.

• He was the only guy translator at the final review of the KJV as it was read aloud before it was sent off to the printers. In his notes, we read that John Bois states that ensamples are the same as examples as in 1 Corinthians 10:11: these things as our examples happened to them*.*

• What this means is that there is no difference in the words, it's just that the translators wanted to use a different word, much like we would today.

• Thus, what Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 10:11 is the completion of his thought from 1 Corinthians 10:6, which is that the Corinthian assembly should not lust after evil things

• Many legitimately ask why in this current Age of Grace we need to know the Hebrew Scriptures, especially since a lot of it is filled with the history of Israel.

• Here is why, even in the Age of Grace, Paul under the inspiration of God writes to the Jewish audience in Corinth, and still applicable for us to learn from today (2 Timothy 3:16--17).
