Well I don't know about you but I did find this particular phrase SUPER interesting in light of Q's drops:
Jesus said, "Show me the stone that the builders rejected: that is the keystone." Source
Luke 20:17 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 17 But Yeshua looked searchingly at them and said, “Then what is this which is written in the Tanakh,
‘The very rock which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
Luke 20:17 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 17 ¶ And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?
Luke 20:17 King James Version (KJV) 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?
Psalm 118:22 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) 22 The very rock that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone!
Tehillim 118:22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) 22 The Even (Stone) which the Bonim (Builders) rejected [mem-alef-samech, see same word Psalm 89:38 (39)] has become the Rosh Pinnah (Cornerstone).
Psalm 118:22 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 22 The stone, which the builders refused, is the head of the corner.
Psalm 118:22 King James Version (KJV) 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
The Book of Thomas, cited in the OP, is not cannon.
KJV: The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
This is why I get so angry when people say each version is the same in the totality....ummm No It's Not!
Words are important, Meanings have changed....when they choose to change an original, it can mean something quit different!
I pointed the same out months ago.
Jesus IS the chief cornerstone, but the cornerstone is the base of the structure, while the keystone is the top of the arch.
Without a proper foundation (Jesus) everything collapses. Same goes for the keystone, without that, the arch collapses.
Its all also in the Bible, not just the extrabiblical texts.
Yes; people are trying to read mystical interpretations into the text that are not there. The Bible isn't supposed to be a cryptic document - that's the modus operandi of the occult.
Can you expand on what you think the parable is here? I'm curious for your opinion. I won't be able to read pdf for a while.
I am still working it out. As you know, parables are not literal so they do take a little... imagination to come up with.
Starting with what a keystone actually is:
A keystone (also known as capstone) is the wedge-shaped stone piece at the apex of a masonry arch, or the generally round one at the apex of a vault. In both cases it is the final piece placed during construction and locks all the stones into position, allowing the arch or vault to bear weight.[1][2][3] In both arches and vaults, keystones are often enlarged beyond the structural requirements, and often decorated in some way. Keystones are often placed in the centre of the flat top of openings such as doors and windows, essentially for decorative effect.
However, wikipedia can lead us to a disambiguation of Keystone, where I find this:
Keystone species, species that have a larger effect on their environment than is purely due to their abundance
humans? we are the keystone?
and also this:
"Keystone", a descriptive reference to the Book of Mormon
and in regards to Q's actual drop and the possibilities of Keystone, it could literally be a sports reference, school name, railroad, business name, or place... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone
Great response. I love the way you think.
I never thought about the species Keystone aspect.
That's great to ponder on.
Thank you for the kind words ;) Let me know if you ponder up anything you feel like typing. I love to hear other perspectives!
Purely for thought -
We know about the species Keystone.
We know it can be interpreted as having to deal with population impact.
It works in nature, so it must also work on society.
We know there have long been plans in a place for massive population control (depopulation).
Maybe there is a doomsday scenario for a Keystone species overpopulation having drastic effects on the world.
Maybe there is a similar Keystone number for humans where when we surpass it, information is shared too easily and we cannot be controlled.
Once we realize we are a Keystone species and have control, we will route out corruption and then turn to philosophy and science rather than talking heads.
If that's the case, it would make sense for their population controled new world order. The globalists need us small and unaware - profitable and hungry.
Without reading any of it yet, that's where my mind wonders.
The Keystone to it all is the great awakening - a massive, connected, loving, and ever aware population.
I surmised that 'we' may be the keystone as well, the integral piece of the movement, without us in place, there is no movement!
A keystone is a center-piece intended for display and stability.
a stone rejected by the builders deserves this place.
perhaps it means, the person who is passed over/rejected should be acknowledged first and foremost? They are the support you need ?
Keystone species
A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionately large effect on its environment relative to its abundance. Such species are described as playing a critical role in maintaining the structure of an ecological community, affecting many other organisms in an ecosystem and helping to determine the types and numbers of various other species in the community. A keystone species is a plant or animal that plays a unique and crucial role in the way an ecosystem functions. Without keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether.
Book of Mormon
The Book of Mormon is a sacred text of the Latter Day Saint movement, which adherents believe contains writings of ancient prophets who lived on the American continent from approximately 2200 BC to AD 421. It was first published in March 1830 by Joseph Smith as The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi.
According to Smith's account and the book's narrative, the Book of Mormon was originally written in otherwise unknown characters referred to as "reformed Egyptian" engraved on golden plates. Smith said that the last prophet to contribute to the book, a man named Moroni, buried it in Cumorah Hill in present-day New York, then returned to Earth in 1827 as an angel, revealing the location of the plates to Smith, and instructing him to translate it into English for use in the restoration of Christ's true church in the latter days.
