Isa 8:14 And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Talmud - Mas. Sanhedrin 38a
Judah and Hezekiah, the sons6 of R. Hiyya, once sat at table
with Rabbi and uttered not a word. Whereupon he said: Give the young men plenty
of strong wine,7 so that they may say something. When the wine took effect,
they began by saying: The son of
David ( the Messiah )
8 cannot appear ere the two ruling houses
in Israel shall have come to an end, viz., the Exilarchate,
in Babylon and the Patriarchate in Palestine, for it is written,
And he shall be for a Sanctuary, for
a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both houses of Israel .
(8) I.e., the Messiah
Pss.118[
19] Open to me the gates of
righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
the house of the LORD is the Temple
Isa.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

Messiah Yeshua is the stone
of stumbling as stated in the Prophets, Psalms, and Talmud
Matt.21[
42] Jesus saith unto them, Did
ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected, the
same is become the head of the corner: this is the
Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Mark.12[
10] And have ye not read this
scripture;
The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner
:[11
] This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Luke.20[
17] And he beheld them, and
said, What is this then that is written,
The stone which the builders rejected,
the same is become the head of the corner?[18
] Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken;
but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Acts.4[[
10] Be it known unto you all,
and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man
stand here before you whole.
1Pet.2[

in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner
stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him
shall not be confounded.[
7] Unto you therefore which
believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient,
the stone which the builders disallowed
, the same is made the head of the corner,
[8] And a stone of stumbling, and
a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed.
Eph.2[

of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ - (

the chief corner stone;

Rejected by man - the Messiah

[31
] And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer
many things, and be rejected
of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes
, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Luke.9
[22
] Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and
be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes
, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
Luke.17
[25
] But first must he suffer many things, and
be rejected of this generation.
Acts.13[
45] But when the Jews saw the
multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which
were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
1Sam.8
[7
] And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the
people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not
rejected thee, but
they have rejected me
, that I should not reign over them.
1Sam.15
[23
] For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness
is as iniquity and idolatry. Because
thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath
also rejected thee from being
king.
[26] And Samuel
said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for
thou hast rejected the word of the LORD
, and the LORD hath rejected
thee from being king over Israel.
2Kgs.17
[15] And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with
their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they
followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round
about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not
do like them.
Isa.53
[3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and
we esteemed him not.
Jer.8
[9]
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo,
they have rejected the word of the LORD
; and what wisdom is in them?
Hos.4 [
6] My people are destroyed for
lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,
I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest
to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the
law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
-----------------------------------
Isa.53
[1] Who hath
believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Who was against the Messiah?
EVERYONE BELOW!!
Acts.4
[27
] For of a truth
against thy holy
child Yeshua / Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,
both
Herod, and
Pontius Pilate
, with
the Gentiles, and
the people of Israel
, were gathered together
, [28
] For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before
to be done.
[20] This gate of the LORD,
into which the righteous shall enter.
[21] I will praise thee: for
thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
[22] The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner.
[23] This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous
in our eyes.
[24] This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad
in it.
[25] Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
[26] Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you
out of the house of the LORD.
[11] This
is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head
of the corner.
[12]
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
[46] Then Paul and Barnabas
waxed bold, and said, It was necessary
that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put
it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn
to the Gentiles.
[47]
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of
the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
[48] And when the Gentiles heard
this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were
ordained to eternal life believed.
[49] And the word of the Lord
was published throughout all the region.
[50] But
the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable
women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and
Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
[51]
But they shook off the dust of their
feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
[52] And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
---------------
[2] For he shall grow up before
him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor
comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire
him.
[3]
He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief
: and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not
.
[4] Surely he hath borne our
griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of
God, and afflicted.
[5] But he was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
[6] All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on
him the iniquity of us all.
[7] He was oppressed, and he
was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his
mouth.
[8] He was taken from prison
and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken
.
[9]
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because
he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
[10] Yet it pleased the LORD
to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering
for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure
of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
[11] He shall see of the travail
of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant
justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
[12] Therefore will I divide
him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the
transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
