So Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him, and Moses, and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them: Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?
Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.
Numbers 20:7-11
"The book of Hebrews confirms that Jesus needed to fall under the rod of His Father’s judgment only once: Hebrews 7:26, 27: For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;
“By his rash act Moses took away the force of the lesson that God purposed to teach. The rock, being a symbol of Christ, had been once smitten, as Christ was to be once offered. The second time it was needful only to speak to the rock, as we have only to ask for blessings in the name of Jesus. By the second smiting of the rock the significance of this beautiful figure of Christ was destroyed.”

"The book of Hebrews confirms that Jesus needed to fall under the rod of His Father’s judgment only once: Hebrews 7:26, 27: For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;
who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
The Roman Catholic papacy repeatedly commits the same sin, as did
Moses.
--According to Roman Catholic theology, the priest offers Jesus on the altar anew at every mass. If God accepted this, He would have to apologize to Moses for excluding him from the Promised Land.
Jesus does not need to die again in order for us to receive the blessing of the Holy Spirit."
