1 Corinthians 10:11

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. NOW ALL THESE THINGS ... ENSAMPLES - resuming . History is a mirror for present times. So Delta G. But 'Aleph (') A B C read 'by way of example' [ tupikoos (G5178a)], 'typically.' THE ENDS OF THE WORLD - literally, 'of the ages.' The New Testament dispensation winds up all former 'ages.' No new dispensation shall appear until Christ comes as Judge. The "ends" (plural) include various successive periods consummated and merging together (: cf. ). Our dispensation being the consummation of all that went before, ou...

11._Now all these things happened as types. _He again repeats it — that all these things happened to the Israelites, that they might be types to us — that is, examples, in which God places his judgments before our _eyes _I am well aware, that others philosophize on these words with great refinement, but I think that I have fully expressed the Apostle’s meaning, when I say, that by these examples, like so many pictures, we are instructed what judgments of God are impending over idolaters, fornicators, and other contemners of God. For they are lively pictures, representing God as angry on account of such sins. This exposition, besides being simple and accurate, has this additional advantage, that it blocks up the path of certain madmen, (556) who wrest this passage for the purpose of proving, that among that ancient people there was nothing done but what was shadowy. First of all, they ass...

6-14 Carnal desires gain strength by indulgence, therefore should be checked in their first rise. Let us fear the sins of Israel, if we would shun their plagues. And it is but just to fear, that such as tempt Christ, will be left by him in the power of the old serpent. Murmuring against God's disposals and commands, greatly provokes him. Nothing in Scripture is written in vain; and it is our wisdom and duty to learn from it. Others have fallen, and so may we. The Christian's security against sin is distrust of himself. God has not promised to keep us from falling, if we do not look to ourselves. To this word of caution, a word of comfort is added. Others have the like burdens, and the like temptations: what they bear up under, and break through, we may also. God is wise as well as faithful, and will make our burdens according to our strength. He knows what we can bear. He will make a wa...

Verse 1 Corinthians 10:11. _UPON WHOM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD ARE COME._] Τα τελη των αιωνων· The end of the times included within the whole duration of the Mosaic economy. For although the word αιων means, in its _primary_ sense, _endless being_, or _duration_; yet, in its accommodated sense, it is applied to any round or duration that is _complete in itself_: and here it evidently means the whole duration of the Mosaic economy. "Thus, therefore," says Dr. Lightfoot, "the apostle speaks in this place that those things, which were transacted in the beginning of the Jewish ages, are written for an example to you upon whom the ends of those ages are come; and the beginning is like to the end, and the end to the beginning. Both were forty years; both consisted of temptation and unbelief; and both ended in the destruction of the unbelievers-_that_,...

FOR ENSAMPLES - Greek: “types” (τύποι tupoi). The same word which is used in 1 Corinthians 10:6. This verse is a repetition of the admonition contained in that verse, in order to impress it more deeply on the memory; see the note at 1 Corinthians 10:6. The sense is, not that these things took place simply and solely to be examples, or admonitions, but that their occurrence illustrated great principles of human nature and of the divine government; they showed the weakness of men, and their liability to fall into sin, and their need of the divine protection, and they might thus be used for the admonition of succeeding generations. They are written for our admoniti

EXPOSITION 1 CORINTHIANS 10:1 _Warnings against over confidence in relation to idolatry and other temptations._ 1 CORINTHIANS 10:1 MOREOVER; rather, _for. _He has just shown them, by his own example, the necessity for strenuous watchfulness and effort. In continuance of the same lesson, he teaches them historically that the possession of great privileges is no safeguard, and that the seductions, even of idolatry, must not be carelessly despised. Although the connection of the various paragraphs is not stated with logical precision, we see that they all bear on the one truth which he wants to inculcate, namely, that it is both wise and kind to limit our personal freedom out of sympathy

NOW ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENED UNTO THEM,.... All these punishments came upon them in various ways, not by chance, but by the will of God, and as their sins deserved: AND WERE FOR ENSAMPLES; to others, to their future posterity, and to the churches of God in all ages: AND THEY ARE WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION; that men in a church state particularly may take warning, by these instances of their sin and punishment, to avoid the one and escape the other, and not presume upon their external privileges and favours: UPON WHOM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD ARE COME; "or in whom the ends of ages are met"; for the apostle does not mean this material visible world, the universe and all things in it, which has continued, since the writing of this, about two thousand years: but the Jewish ages, or times of the Mosaic economy, which begun when these instances of sin and punishment were, and which now in the...

1 Corinthians 10:1. _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; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ._ You see, then, dear brethren, that the possession of privileges is not everything. Paul would not have us to be ignorant that all those, who were with Moses in the wilderness, had privileges of a very high order. Did they not all pass through the Red Sea, and so escape from their powerful and cruel foes? Did they not all drink of water which gushed forth from the flinty rock? Were they not all fed with manna from heaven? Yet their privileges did not save them, for while they had the

1 CORINTHIANS 10:11 tau/ta de, {B} Although it is possible that pa,nta may have been omitted by copyists who recalled ver. 1 Corinthians 10:6, a majority of the Committee thought it more probable that the original tau/ta (A B 33 630 1739 1881) was expanded by the addition of pa,nta, whose varying position in the manuscripts suggests that the word is a gloss, inserted to heighten the narrative....

7. WARNINGS AND EXHORTATIONS CHAPTER 10 _ 1. Warnings from Israel's past history. (1 Corinthians 10:4)._ 2. Exhortations. (1 Corinthians 10:15). The same subject is continued with this chapter. The concluding paragraph of the previous chapter is illustrated from Israel's history, as the professing people of God. What happened unto them has a typical meaning for us. “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples (types), and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world (ages) are come.” He speaks of “our fathers (Israel's fathers) were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea.” God had delivered them out of Egypt; the cloud covered them and the
