"What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" The cornerstone (or foundation stone or setting stone) is the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure. Jesus was the the cornerstone or beginning of the new covenant. the stone builders ( Israel-Jews ) rejected him ( the stone )( Jesus).here on earth as the Messiah . Jesus taught the disciples the new covenant now the new covenant keepers produce the fruit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you carefully read what I say in the OP, you'll understand. The corner stone can be the top of a triangular pyramid. All I'm saying is, the pyramid(object) fits better than the corner of a building foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephesians 2:19-22New King James Version (NKJV) Christ Our Cornerstone 19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF BEING THE CHIEF CORNERSTONE, 21 in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

No, I don't think so... see, the corner-stone is used in the foundation of a building. The "head" cornerstone would be the first placed for the architects to align all the others to insure that they were forming a perfect square. The top stone of a pyramid is called the cap-stone.

And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. (Rev 21:15-16) That's not describing Jesus as the cornerstone. Irrelevant verse.

Has nothing to do with a pyramid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" "Head" doesn't mean "top." It means "first." You lay the foundational cornerstone first. It's not that hard and Jews would not view this as referring to a pyramid, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
