PETER THE NAME.
Exodus 4:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
Its important to note when anything or anyone is mention the first time in the Bible. Big lessons are involve.
Note who peter is and what he does.
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
Root meaning of PETER :
Petros
pet'-ros
Apparently a primary word; a (piece of) rock (larger than G3037); as a name, Petrus, an apostle: - Peter, rock. Compare G2786.
Couple scriptures containing the word rock.
Exodus 33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: ROCK AS SUPPORT
Exodus 33:22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: ROCK AS PROTECTION.
Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: ROCK AS FOUNDATION
Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?.. CORNER STONE= MODEL STONE..PATTERN
Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock. FOUNDATION AGAIN.
1Samuel 17:40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. STONE AS A WEAPON
Isaiah 57:6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
THINGS TO NOTE
- SMOOTH STONES OR ROCKS WERE USED IN OR AS A WEAPON.
- NOTE ALSO WHERE THE STONES CAME FROM .From among running water or a flood.
- WHO REPRESENTS WATER IN BIBLE? PEOPLE AND WARING ARMIES COMING , PERSECUTION IS REPRESENTED AS A FLOOD
Isaiah 28:2 Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
Jeremiah 47:2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
Note the overflowing flood was the Babylonians coming from the north
- NOTE ALSO THE CONDITIONS OF THE STONES. What did the water do to the stones?
- THEY ARE SMOOTH. Perfection but what smooths the stone
- persecutions (overflowing flood) smooths the stone.
"In the absence of persecution, there have drifted into our ranks some who appear sound, and their Christianity unquestionable, but who, if persecution should arise, would go out from us. In the crisis, they would see force in specious reasoning that has had an influence on their minds"
{Maranatha page 28 Paragraph 3}.
So the stone represents Gods people !
A second testimony on who the stone is.
Stone cut out of Mountain without hands.
Daniel 2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
What entity represents mountain.
A) Psalms 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. See also Isaiah 14 :13 Satan imitates Christ.
B) Isaiah 10:32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
C) Isaiah 18:7 In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
Who,what where is mount Zion.
A) Isaiah 51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
Note Zion represents Gods people which was Spiritual Israel the Jews but they denied him thus Christ via spiritual adoption the gentiles were made Israelites ..See the following..
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Conclusions : Zion is God's People,His denominated people, then Literal Israel now Spiritual Israel. Those who accept Christ as Saviour and keep his Commandment.
REMEMBER THIS TEXT?
Exodus 4:22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
So a stone will come out of Mountain.
Daniel 2:45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Remember Satan wants to be like The Most High ? see Isaiah 14 he wants his own mount (His people or church)
note specifically verse 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Note Satan is interested in a MOUNT also in IN THE SIDES OF THE NORTH.
Now if we have mount Zion(truth) and another mount that SATAN (lies) claims or wants,what do we have in the middle?
A VALLEY.. VALLEY IS where a decision i made between truth and Error (lies). This is the Amegedo valley where the Battle of Armageddon has to be fought. Its is not a litteral battle although we will have many of thos in the end .But its a spiritual battle that all in the world have to fight. Now in Revelation there is this one great decision all will have to take. This one decision will be the culmination of all decisions made before that time reaches us..
The stone is Christ ultimately yes but if Zion is God's Denominated people ( His church) then we can expect a great stone ,a part of mounting to be of course some people coming out of his "His church" Spiritual Israel. Every decision we make now is equipping us to make the right choice or the wrong choice when the day of the Lord comes.
The decision ? see Revelation 13:17, Revelation 19:20, Revelation 14:11, Revelation 16:2.
Clever of Truth
Seventh-day Adventists have been chosen by God as a peculiar people, separate from the world. By the great cleaver of truth He has cut them out from the quarry of the world, and brought them into connection with Himself. He has made them His representatives, and has called them to be ambassadors for Him in the last work of salvation. The greatest wealth of truth ever intrusted to mortals, the most solemn and fearful warnings ever sent by God to man, have been committed to them to be given to the world; and in the accomplishment of this work our publishing houses are among the most effective agencies.--Testimonies, vol. 7, p. 138. {ChS 147.5}
A quarry is a mountain ,stones are cut out of mountains.
Now note, Rev 10:7, Col 1;2-27 tells us Christ's character will be fully developed in a certain group of people.
Christ is the stone that destroys the image, BUt this stone is a kingdom note the following verses :-
Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
People make Kingdoms ,a Kingdom is made up of subjects and is rule by a king. Christ is the king the kingdom is Gods people the mountain,This is mount Zion, But a stone would be cut out of this mountain and its a weapon it is militant and it destroys the image.
Christ the stone of all stones,the model stone(cornerstone:- the one in which all others stones are shape like for building)
1PETER 2
1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
CONCLUSION.
Is there a link between the stone Petros- the Pebble.
The round perfect stone the weapon that past through the water, the flood.
The Petra the boulder ie Christ the Cornerstone, the model stone.
The Rock cut out without hands out of the mountain (Zion).
Armageddon the battle between truth and error?
OUR SALVATION STARTS WITH THE STONE CONTINUES WITH THE PERFECTING PROCESS ENDS WITH THE STONE, CHRIST the hope of glory.
That stone ,That weapon that destroys the image in the days of the ten kings that has power for one hour See the following
Daniel 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Revelation 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
This stone is the 144,000 that comes from among God's people Zion( the mountain) Those who are sealed,first fruits ,No guile in the mouth. These are those who have transformed by the indwelling presence of the Christ the Petra, big stone ,the Corner stone .This great army of truth preachers who will meet against the error and deception at the end would have receive the out pouring without measure .Why They would have experiences the sprinkling thus prepared for the latter rain .These are represented as the angel in Rev 18:1 having great power.
- May we all be sealed and protected as though under the cleft of THE ROCKExodus 33:21. PROTECTION.
- May we all study to show our selves approve, and not be found in the shame of our nakedness with our own righteousness but standing on THE ROCK Christ Jesus. FOUNDATION.
- May we continue to let Christ chisel and mould us into the perfect stones,fashion after his image . MODEL STONE..CORNERSTONE.
- May we hold fast to the sure word of Prophecy 2Pet 1:19,So that the DAY STAR can rise in our hearts.May we also be among the wise,also call the MANY that " shall be purified, and made white, and tried" for we know the wise will uderstand. SMOOTH STONES ,THE WEAPON that brings down Israel's enemy, The Goliath giant.The image of Daniel 2 and the 10 kings of Rev17:12-14...
Perfect Peace and at such a time.
Jesus Is Uncool
Jesus Is Uncool
Jesus was not cool. He was not fashionable. He was not attractive during His time or anytime for that matter. Isaiah 53:2 puts it this way, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.”
Many attempt to make Jesus look too-cool-for-Jewish-school. They propose a rock-and-roll rabbi by painting a picture of a tall, dark and handsome champion of the downtrodden. But they forget that, chances are, he was a short, sun-weathered carpenter. Having been a roofer for eight years I can tell you that any outdoor trade that includes swinging hammers, sharp nails and splintery wood can be hazardous to your health and to your appearance. From sunburn to windburn to tool-induced injuries, carpentry is an appearance-depreciating trade.
Not only was Jesus uncool in the way that He looked but also in the message that He preached. When He claimed to the Jews in John 8, “before Abraham was born, I am” He was preaching an unacceptable message to an antagonistic audience. His not-so-subtle claim of deity (“I AM” is the personal name of God in Exodus 3:14) was met with a band of rock collectors who sought to stone Him for His audacious assertion.
By perpetrating a 21st century version of “Cool Jesus Syndrome” the Church has “hip” on her hands. For many in the Christian subculture of ultra coolness, the one-sided picture of Jesus as the social justice superhero who stood up against the system is very appealing. This Jesus has a soul patch and only buys Red products and green cars. He could sing back up for Bono, turn water into wine and heal lepers at the same time. He’s that cool.
But this is an incomplete picture of the real Jesus. Sure He loved the poor and cared about the environment (after all He made it!), but what often gets lost with this hipster Jesus image is the very reason He came: “to seek and save those who are lost” (Luke 19:10). The full-faceted Jesus of the Synoptic Gospels is much more than a champion of cool causes. Jesus is actually the perpetuator of a very controversial message. That’s why they killed Him-because he claimed to be God and the only way to God.
Although Jesus was open-handed to the poor, He was close-fisted to the arrogant. Some would go as far as describing Him as narrow-minded. Jesus Himself reinforced this stereotype when He said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it” (Matthew 7:13). That narrow gate was and is Him!
In John 14:6 He goes even further when He proclaims, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Jesus claimed to be the narrow gate and the only way to God, a message so radical and unpopular in His day that it got Him and many of His early followers killed. They weren’t tortured and put to death because they fed the hungry and helped the homeless, but because of the controversial nature of the salvation message.
This loving Savior who willingly died to restore us to God offers everyone, everywhere salvation freely on one condition, faith in Him and Him alone for the forgiveness of their sins. Those who reject this free gift will be separated from Him forever in an eternal lake of fire (Revelation 20:11-15) where the smoke of their torment rises day and night forever and ever (Revelation 14:10,11).
Not cool, either literally or figuratively.
So what are the lessons for us as followers of Christ? In a 21st Century quest for Hipster Christianity we must remember that the call of Christ is the call to be uncool. It’s the call to pick up our cross and carry a radical and sometimes unpopular message to a broken world. It’s the call to embrace Jesus’ as the narrow gate, though it may appear narrow-minded and exclusive, but to be open-hearted and handed when it comes to the hurting and hopeless.
We need to present the full Jesus to a lost and dying world. We let His life flow through our lives and our lips. Through our lives will pour out a passion for the poor and downtrodden. Through our lips will pour the radical message of hope and life, that can also be highly controversial, since Jesus said His way is the only way of salvation.
When we do this we will be just like Jesus. Some will receive the message and be transformed. The rest may want to crucify us.
Not cool.
Request for 9/11 Money to Fund Ground Zero Mosque Reignites Controversy
Request for 9/11 Money to Fund Ground Zero Mosque Reignites Controversy
Developers of the proposed Islamic center near Ground Zero are asking for millions of dollars in federal money, intended to rebuild the area surrounding the 9/11 attacks, to fund its controversial project.
Park51 developers said they applied for a $5 million grant from Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, which is handing out 9/11 development grant money.
The move has been met by outrage by critics who have questioned why the developers are asking for money meant to rebuild the community around Ground Zero when they originally insisted the property was not part of Ground Zero.
"It's just so disingenuous. It took us by complete surprise," Tim Brown, a former New York firefighter and 9/11 First Responder, told Fox News. "It's like getting the middle finger put right in your face."
Brown was among the opponents of the mosque who demonstrated at New York City Hall last week and presented a 120,000-signature petition supporting their cause.
In statement from LMDC obtained by The Christian Post on Tuesday, the corporation said it has set aside $17 million for the Community and Cultural Enhancement Program, but has received more than 265 applications seeking in excess of $175 million from a wide variety of non-profits.
"We are now turning to the challenging but important task of sorting through the applications to identify those that address long-standing community and cultural needs," stated LMDC.
To be considered for the 9/11 development grant, applicants were asked to submit documents explaining the organization's purpose, structure, personnel experience, project description, project budget and schedule, and operating revenue and costs.
According to Park51's website, developers need the grant money to fund programs on domestic violence prevention, Arabic and other foreign language classes, programs and services for homeless veterans, multi-cultural art exhibits and immigration services.
The proposed 13-story center would include a mosque, a daycare, preschool, gym and 9/11 Memorial, which are "desperately needed in Lower Manhattan," according to Park51 developers.
A recent poll found that nearly 70 percent of all Americans oppose the plan to build a mosque, originally known as The Cordoba House, just two blocks from the former World Trade Center.
Sharif El-Gamal, developer of Park51, previously said that he never thought the project would spark controversy when he first envisioned it.
During an interview for NBC's People of the Year, which will air on Thanksgiving Day, Matt Lauer pressed El-Gamal on why the thought never crossed his mind.
"Not once have I held my faith accountable for the horrific events of 9/11," responded El-Gamal , describing himself as an "American who has a specific belief system."
Brown, meanwhile, told Fox News, "It leaves me speechless that they have the gall to do this."
