THE WHITE STONE

The value of diamonds has remained very strong in many cultures for many years. Slogans by Jewelry Stores for selling these diamonds to lovers and would be lovers are just as strong. Some also think the Diamond is the White Stone mentioned in The Revelation of Jesus Christ 2:17 where the White Stone is promised.

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.”

Matthew Henry (1662-1714) minister and author wrote, “The white stone, with a new name engraven upon it. This white stone is absolution from the guilt of sin, alluding to the ancient custom of giving a white stone to those acquitted on trial and a black stone to those condemned. The new name is the name of adoption: adopted persons took the name of the family into which they were adopted. None can read the evidence of a man’s adoption but himself; he cannot always read it, but if he persevere he shall have both the evidence of sonship and the inheritance.”

There are many theories about The White Stone… I think this one is best.

“I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.” Jesus
