2. 1 Corinthians 10:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the
cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and
in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they
drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ.
3. Deuteronomy 32
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways
are judgment: a God of truth and without
iniquity, just and right is he.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods
whom they knew not, to new gods that came
newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,
and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
4. 31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our
enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of
the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are
grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the
cruel venom of asps.
5. Why is it important?
Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church; and
the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
6. Ephesians 4:9-10
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he
also descended first into the lower parts of
the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that
ascended up far above all heavens, that he
might fill all things.)
7. Acts 2:27
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see
corruption.
Isaiah 53:10
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath
put him to grief: when thou shalt make his
soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed,
he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of
the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
8. Revelation 1:18
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and,
behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and
have the keys of hell and of death.
• The gates of hell couldn’t prevail against the
Rock.
