Diamond in the Rough! Revelation 2:17

“He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; to him that overcometh will I give to eat the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Comment: Manna is bread from heaven! God fed the Jews this food on their journey through the wilderness! Jesus is the bread of life! The word Bethlehem means the House of Bread! God hides and stores up blessings for his own! The purest white stone is a diamond! The diamond reflects more light than any other stone! Jesus is the light of the world! He reflects the character of the Father! We are to reflect the light of Christ! The white gemstones are the modern birthstones for the month of April both in western and for the Hindu calendar! So what goes on in April? Easter! The only reason an object looks white is because it reflects more of the wavelength of the light spectrum! We are to reflect the light of God in our character! This has nothing to do with race or the color of our skin! As for our character we should when we look in a mirror see God! We were created in the image of God! When God looks in a mirror he should see you! What is meant by the words “New Name?” This word means new in quality! Jesus said we must be born again! Old things to be passed away all things new! You can never fix the old man! He must die! The word name means to describe the character of a person! The new name represents the character of the person named after the new name! The character of Christ! Whether good or evil our character represents who we follow! God or Satan! Without Christ any nation or cultural will move into darkness! This is what is happening to America! The popular cultural is at war with two colors now! Red and White! Why? These two colors are in our American flag! Why would they disrespect our flag? It is the colors! Red representing the blood of Christ or Salvation and white representing purity or the forgiveness of sin! This cultural war is a war on God and His Christ! The enemy will make every effort to get you to deny Christ! Never! Our future is with Christ forever and this short life here on earth is a test of your faith! In Islam at Mecca they worship a black stone! Darkness! We as Christians worship the light of the world Jesus Christ! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
