Verse Concepts
Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant about how all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual meal. read more.
They all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them. That Rock was (represented) (symbolic of) Christ! (Exodus 7:6) (Numbers 20:11) God was not pleased with most of them. And their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things were examples for us. They teach us not to lust after evil things like they did. Do not be idolaters like some of them. It is written: The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play. Do not commit fornication like some of them committed. Twenty three thousand of them died in one day. Do not test Jehovah like some of them also did and were destroyed by serpents. Do not grumble like some of them grumbled. Venomous snakes killed them. These things happened for examples, and they are written for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.

There arose false prophets among the people. There will be false teachers among you! They will privately bring in destructive heresies (contrary doctrines), denying even the Master who bought them. They bring swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their lascivious (filthy sensual) deeds. The way of the truth will be maligned. They speak evil words about you because of their extreme greed. They will exploit you with false evil words. Their judgment from long ago is not idle. Their destruction will not delay. read more.
God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them down to captivity in pits of darkness reserved for judgment! He did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly! He turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them with an overthrow, and made them an example to those who are ungodly.
