As it is written, 'Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.' Romans 9:33
As it is written…
Therefore thus saith YHWH GOD, 'Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.' Isaiah 28:16
The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. Psalms 118:22
What is this stone?
Sanctify YHWH of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin (bird trap) and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Isaiah 8:13-15
For who is God, save YHWH? and who is a rock, save our God? 2 Samuel 22:32 and Psalms 18:31
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel) Gen 49:24
The shepherd, the stone of Israel
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:11
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Yahshua (Jesus), that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Hebrews 13:20
That Spiritual Rock
Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. Ex 17:6
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; Ephesians 2:20
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Yashua Messiah (Jesus Christ) of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Act 4:10-11
What did Jesus say?
Jesus saith unto them, "Did ye never read in the scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes'"? Matt 21:22 and Mark 12:10-11
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?' Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder." Luke 20:17-18
The stumbling stone:
1) a stumbling block
a) an obstacle in the way which if one strikes his foot against he stumbles or falls
b) that over which a soul stumbles i.e. by which is caused to sin
Yahshua saith unto him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.' John 14:6
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Act 4: 12
Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, 'Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.' 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, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 1 Peter 2:6-8
Them which stumble at the Word
Jesus said unto them, 'If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.' John 8:42-47
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: Rom 9:21-22
…and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom 9:33
