    Not wanting to rock your boat as we know Jesus is the Rock, or officially became it, But, your OT quotes are referring to Yehowah being the Rock, who is not Yehowshuwa.

    "and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ."

    "Spiritual drink" -> Plan of salvation, as per prophesies which would eventually come through a future Jesus, which "followed them" in time, after they were long passed.
    Yehowah did not follow them in OT times, he led them, in front of, by the cloud etc.

    Hence that spiritual drink, salvation plan, "goings forth was from old". (OT quote of a future plan)


    Re Moses striking the rock, re the water flow for life, you might say was a foreshadow of the spiritual to come through Jesus.
    Hence the water (word) he would give would result in rivers of life flowing from one.
