The Rock as a Type of Christ
Multiple commentators, including John Gill and Matthew Henry, interpret the rock as a type or symbol of Jesus Christ. Just as the physical rock provided a firm, safe place for Moses to witness God's glory, Christ is the spiritual 'Rock of refuge, salvation, and strength' for believers. Standing on Him provides security and a unique vantage point to behold God's goodness.
