Revelation 2:17, 'If anyone has ears to hear... - Lighthouse - 05-09-2026
Revelation 2:17, 'If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: to those who prove to be victorious I will give the hidden manna and a white stone--a stone with a new name written on it, known only to the man who receives it.'
Foot Note (Jerusalem Bible): The manna hidden by Jeremiah (2M 2:4-8), to be the food for those who are saved in the heavenly kingdom; the white stone is a badge or token of admittance or membership.
2 Maccabees 2:4-8, 'The document also described how the prophet, warned by an oracle, gave orders for the tabernacle and the ark to go with him when he set out for the mountain which Moses had climbed to survey God's heritage.
On his arrival, Jeremiah found a cave-dwelling, into which he brought the tabernacle, the ark and the altar of incense, afterwards blocking up the entrance. Some of his companions came up to mark out the way, but were unable to find it.
When Jeremiah learned this, he reproached them: 'The place is to remain unknown' he said 'until God gathers His people together again and shows them His mercy. Then the Lord will bring these things once more to light, and the Glory of the Lord will be seen. Also, so will the cloud, as it was revealed in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the Holy Place might be gloriously hallowed.'
