[1] {when he had cast into the waters}
These bitter waters were in the very path of the Lord's leading, and
stand for the trials of God's people, which are educatory and not
punitive. The "tree" is the cross
# Ga 3:13
which became sweet to Christ as the expression of the Father's will
# Joh 18:11
When our Marahs are so taken we cast the "tree" into the waters.
# Ro 5:3,4

[1] {manna}
Manna, type of Christ as the "bread of life," come down from heaven
to die "for the life of the world"
# Joh 6:35,48-51
A "small" thing
# Ex 16:14
having but the taste of "fresh oil"
# Nu 11:8
or "wafers with honey"
# Ex 16:31
it typifies Christ in humiliation as presented in Matthew, Mark,
and Luke; "having no form nor comeliness; . . . no beauty that we
should desire him"
# Isa 53:2
But as such He must be received by faith if we would be saved
# Joh 6:53-58
To meditate upon Christ as He went about among men, doing not His own
will but the will of the Father
# Joh 6:38-40
is to feed on the manna. This is, of necessity, the spiritual food of
young believers, and answers to "milk"
# 1Co 3:1,2
But Christ in glory, and the believer's present and eternal
association with Him there, answers to "the old corn of the land"
# Jos 5:11
the "meat" of
# Heb 5:13,14
or Christ as presented in the Epistles of Paul.
(Cf)
# 2Co 5:16

[2] {rock}
The rock, type of life through the Spirit by grace: (1) Christ the
Rock
# 1Co 10:4
(2) The people utterly unworthy
# Ex 17:2 Eph 2:1-6
(3) Characteristics of life through grace: (a) free
# Joh 4:10 Ro 6:23 Eph 2:8
(b) abundant
# Ro 5:20 Ps 105:41 Joh 3:16
(c) near
# Ro 10:8
(d) the people had only to take
# Isa 55:1
The smitten-rock aspect of the death of Christ looks toward the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit as a result of accomplished redemption,
rather than toward out guilt. It is the affirmative side of
# Joh 3:16
"Not perish" speaks of atoning blood; "but have" speaks of life
bestowed.

[3] {Amalek}
Amalek, grandson of Esau
# Ge 36:12
who was "born after the flesh"
# Ga 4:22-29
and progenitor of the Amalekites, Israel's persistent enemy, is a type
of the flesh in the believer.
# Ga 4:29
But the conflict with Amalek in type in Chapter 17 sets forth the
resources of the man under law, rather than those of the believer
under grace. The man under law could fight and pray (vs 9,12).
Under grace the Holy Spirit gains the victory over the flesh in the
believer's behalf.
# Ro 8:2-4 Ga 5:16,17
but this victory is only as the believer walks in the Spirit. Acting
in independency or disobedience, Amalek gains an easy victory
# Nu 14:42-45
Like Saul we are prone to spare the flesh
# 1Sa 15:8,9
forgetting
# Ro 7:18
See "Flesh," Jno 1.13 Jude 13.
# Joh 1:13 Jude 1:13
