In these accounts, God instructs Moses to strike the rock, resulting in water flowing out to quench the thirst of the Israelites. This miracle demonstrates God's power and provision, emphasizing His ability to transform seemingly impossible situations into sources of life and sustenance. The rock symbolizes Christ, as noted in <a href="/1_corinthians/10-4.htm">1 Corinthians 10:4</a>, where Paul identifies the spiritual rock that followed the Israelites as Christ Himself, highlighting the typology of Jesus as the source of living water.<p><b>the flint into a fountain of water!</b><br>Flint is a hard, sedimentary cryptocrystalline form of the mineral quartz, known for its toughness and resistance to breaking. The transformation of flint into a fountain of water underscores the miraculous nature of God's provision, as flint would not naturally yield water. This act signifies God's sovereignty over creation and His ability to bring forth life from the most unlikely sources. The imagery of water flowing from flint also points to the abundance and refreshment found in God's presence, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/41-18.htm">Isaiah 41:18</a>, where God promises to open rivers on barren heights and springs within the valleys.
