Isaiah 28:16
Therefore thus saith the Lord 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.
Who is the foundation stone being referenced
in our scripture text? The foundation stone is the Lord Himself as He is
not just any stone but the precious corner stone for all who believe in Him is
assured of salvation. As Isaiah was prophesying about the coming Messiah-Jesus
Christ the fulfillment of this prophecy is recorded in New Testament scriptures
Romans 9:33; 1 Corinthians 3:11;
Ephesians 2:20; 1 Peter 2:4-6.
It
is noteworthy to say that if any man tries to build his or her salvation on
anything other than Christ is like building on quick sand. Jesus Christ is the
corner stone chosen by God the Father from the foundation of the world to be
the Savior of the world and throughout the generations many have disowned
Christ for who He is, but those will not dwell in Zion with our Savior.
The
question now becomes, Where is Zion ?
For our discussion Zion is heaven or the city of
God as
referenced in our study text. Revelation 14:1 alludes to the fact that Zion is heaven or being
where God is. When the writer John describes what he saw were the many
disciples who traveled with Jesus everywhere He went as they were coming out of
Zion . Will you
dwell in Zion
with Him?
Dwell
in Zion
