All of these ... were written as a warning to us (1Corinthians 10:11)
A few months after the devastating Asian tsunami in December 2004, an amazing story emerges about the survivors of Simuelue Island's inhabitants. The island is the closest inhabited landmass to the epicenter.
A news report reported that of the entire population of Indonesia's remote island of 75,000, only 7 people died when a 9-meter-high wave hit half an hour after the earthquake. For decades, the inhabitants have heard stories told by their ancestors about the giant waves that destroyed thousands of people on the island in 1907. So when the ground shakes and the sea recedes from the shore, residents remember the warnings of their ancestors. and fled to higher ground.
Article 1 Corinthians 10 describes a spiritual disaster that we can avoid. After the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt, they always turned away from God. Paul reiterates their recurring weaknesses and the consequences that hurt them, writing: "All these things happened to us as examples ... and they were written for our admonition" (verses 6,11). Their failures are recorded so that we are spared the disaster that will occur if we disobey.
If there are signs that warn our lives today, it means that it is time for us to run away from the sin that destroys us, to a higher place, and obtain the blessing of God's forgiveness --DCM
