Messianic Prophesies: Isaiah 28: 16

Continuing our Advent look at Messianic prophecies, a series which we began in Advent 2011 and continued each year subsequently, and the earlier posts of the series may be read here, we come to 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.

Isaiah 28: 16

In 1 Peter, Saint Peter writes of this passage:

[6] Wherefore it is said in the scripture: Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious. And he that shall believe in him, shall not be confounded. [7] To you therefore that believe, he is honour: but to them that believe not, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: [8] And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of scandal, to them who stumble at the word, neither do believe, whereunto also they are set.

In writing this Peter merely echoes  what Christ had said about Himself:

[42] Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.

Matthew 21: 42

[10] And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:

[11] By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.

Mark 12: 10-11

[17] But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Luke 20:17
