Christ was in the church in the wilderness. The children of Israel drank from the spiritual Rock which was Christ.

What….church in the wilderness?
What….children of Israel were in a church in the wilderness?
ALL of the 12 tribes of Israel?

You speak vague, with no references.

My bad, here are the references.

Moses teaching the children of Israel about Christ coming.
Act 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

The writer of Acts explaining that Christ was in the wilderness church.
Act 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:


1Co 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;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

Paul explaining that the children of Israel are the same spiritual meat that we eat.
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

Paul explaining that the children of Israel drank the same spiritual drink that we drink. Paul explains that the spiritual drink was Christ.
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

OT believers….were men WHO…believed IN God and His Word….
(God Word’s “name” was secret to them…so they could not believe “in JeSUS”….or Gods title of His “power, wisdom, seed”…(CHRIST) was not revealed to them.
They could not have CONFESSED belief IN Jesus, IN Christ…yet they who Believed in God….and mortally (bodily) died believing in God…
God shall raise their body in the First resurrection.
The OT saints believed the Word of God.
Abram was Called Out by the LORD unto salvation in His Living Word

Gen 15:6 - And Abram believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for Righteousness.

This Righteousness that was imputed to Abraham DIRECTLY from the LORD thru Faith in the Word = is Salvation

What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?
For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.
For what does the Scripture say?
Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. - Romans 4:3

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
He is not the God of the dead,
but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly mistaken.” - Mark 12:24-27

This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us, whom our fathers would not obey, but rejected.
Acts 7:38

Just like Christ isn’t in the corporate church today, he is in the TRUE church, the body of Christ.

Christ wasn’t in the congregation, he was in the church.

The "he" in Acts 7:38 is referring to Moses

This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren.
Him you shall hear.’
38This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers,
the one(Moses) who received the living oracles to give to us,

TODAY is a new day in CHRIST for us as we continue walking with HIM by faith.
We KEEP on looking FORWARD to HIM who called us OUT of darkness and Placed us into the Kingdom of the Love of His Dear SON.

Looking to JESUS the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our Faith - Hebrews 12:2

This ties into…other facts…that occur by declaration…if this…then that…

The Lord…HAD to fulfill the Law…being not only sent by God…but..of the Israelites to fulfill the Law that ONLY one descended from King David….could sit on his ever lasting throne…

And thus Jesus took upon himself the SEED of Abraham of David….

Abraham having the title of Father of many Nations of this world…
David having the title of King…over the promised land.

Aw…darn…gentiles are not of that royal lineage….but, but, but….IF we be Christ’s we also take upon ourselves the seed of Abraham…and are made his sons…and rightful heirs to …. The promised land…

And THAt SEED “is” Christ.

Obviously more detailed….but point being what seems impossible….becomes Declared by the word of God…

Glory to God,
