the idea of the house is not as some think, in jewish thought. when noah believed he also taught his sons and wife and their wives the means of pleasing the lord. that is what "house" meant. its whom ever was from your loins, slaves and their kin and family.

OK, that makes sense.
 
The cornerstone (or foundation stone) concept is derived from the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.
 
the reason I believe that it works is that jews then and today are very communal, this is why they tend to like Marxism. the building of the temple took a lot of work. does it not with our families? we have people we go to help us be the godly parent, and also others we help.
 
especially with the image of God on the throne and jesus as whatever metaphor he is shown as.
 
You didn't really think the Carpenter went to build us a house? :nod

Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
 
there is something in jewish thought about that cornerstone. I just cant remember it.

Wow Reba, thank you, actually this is the first time I actually tied those verses into the new Jerusalem. Good one!

its not an easy explanation. I do remember that sometimes jews cant take something literaly and go into some depths with that. that is why the parables have such simplicity and truth and are deep.
