06 Kadesh by Shunned at a Funeral

Kadesh [https://open.spotify.com/track/4MAzX7...](https://open.spotify.com/track/4MAzX7...) 🎧 *Shunned at a Funeral – Spotify:* [https://open.spotify.com/artist/0C1z7...](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0C1z7...) *Website:* [https://shunnedatafuneral.com](https://shunnedatafuneral.com) *"Kadesh"* is the title track from Shunned at a Funeral's upcoming album, **Kadesh**. More than simply recounting Israel's wilderness journey, this song explores one of Scripture's most beautiful Christological pictures. At Kadesh, Moses struck the rock, and life-giving water flowed out for a thirsty people. The New Testament reveals that the Rock ultimately pointed to Christ Himself. The song traces that thread from the wilderness to Calvary. Just as water flowed from the stricken rock, so after Christ was pierced on the cross, blood and water flowed from His side (John 19:34). What happened at Kadesh was never merely about physical water—it was a God-given picture of the substitutionary atonement that would one day be accomplished by Jesus Christ. Scripture repeatedly connects these events. Paul writes in *1 Corinthians 10:4* that "the Rock was Christ." The striking of the rock points forward to the Savior who would be struck for His people so that living water, forgiveness, and eternal life could flow to all who believe. The song draws heavily from passages such as **Numbers 20:1–13**, **Psalm 78:15–16**, **Isaiah 53**, **John 19:31–37**, **1 Corinthians 10:1–4**, and **Hebrews 10:19–22**, celebrating the unity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Testament to the cross. Musically, *"Kadesh"* blends Shunned at a Funeral's signature mix of crushing guitars, Celtic folk instrumentation, cinematic orchestration, and deeply theological lyric writing. The result is one of the album's heaviest and most worshipful songs, pointing listeners to the glory of Christ's finished work and the beauty of God's unfolding redemption throughout Scripture. The result is a song about biblical typology, substitutionary atonement, covenant fulfillment, the living water found in Christ, and the faithfulness of God's redemptive plan from Genesis to Revelation. *"Kadesh"* will appear on the upcoming album, continuing the project's focus on biblical truth, redemption, and seeing the world through a distinctly Christian lens. If this resonates with you, follow Shunned at a Funeral on Spotify and stay connected through the website for updates on the full album release. Above all, we hope *"Kadesh"* reminds you that every page of Scripture points to Christ. The Rock that was struck in the wilderness pointed forward to the Savior who was struck for sinners, so that all who come to Him would never thirst again.
