WHAT MEAN THESE STONES?

Stones hold significant symbolic meaning throughout the Bible, serving as metaphors for strength, permanence, and divine intervention. From the creation narrative to the prophetic visions, stones are imbued with spiritual and theological significance.

Stones often symbolize strength and stability.

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is referred to as the cornerstone, the essential foundation of the Church. Ephesians 2:20

In the Old Testament, stones frequently serve as memorials to momentous events or covenants between God and His people. For instance, in Joshua 4:7, the Israelites set up twelve stones taken from the Jordan River as a memorial to their crossing into the Promised Land: "These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever." Such stones remind the faithful of God's past deliverance and promises.

That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God forever.

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.

Hebrew 12:1

For we walk by faith, not by sight:

We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

II Corinthians 5:7-8
