Dear Harold 
That You for the mail. 
I agree with You, that the biblical writers sometimes use the experiences of 
Israel in this way (e.g., John 3:14; 1 Cor 10:1-13).But in the 2 exampels 
it´s cleary indicated in the text ("And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the 
wilderness..." in John 3:14 and "how that all our fathers were under the 
cloud, and all passed through the sea;
 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea" in 1 Cor 
10:1). 
What I need is some arguments from the text itself that shows, that Paul is 
thinking in this way in this particulary text.
What could I use as arguments?
