The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Messianically applied in Targum — cornerstone, nail, battle bow
Chief Cornerstone
Zechariah prophesied a cornerstone coming from Judah — the foundation of everything.
Old Testament
Zechariah 10:4
From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler.
New Testament
Ephesians 2:20
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
Why This Matters
Zechariah prophesied a cornerstone coming from Judah — the foundation of everything. Paul identifies Christ as the chief cornerstone on which the whole building of God's people rises.
Reflection
Lord, as I reflect on Chief Cornerstone, make me steady in faith, humble in spirit, and rooted in Your unchanging identity.
