What is the rock that the church of Mount Zion is built on? (Matthew 16:18). Mount Zion being "My holy mountain" (Isaiah 56:6) from which their will be "survivors" (Joe 2:32).
The “stone, a tested stone” (Isaiah 28:16) is a “costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He that believes in it will not be disturbed”. “And I will make justice the measuring-line, and righteousness the level” (Isaiah 28:17). There is only one tested stone, which would be the “Word of God” (Revelation 19:13), which is the “law and the testimonies/prophets”. The “Word of God” comes by way of the Revelation of God, which is the Spirit of prophecy. With respect to Matthew 16:18, the “petra”, the foundation stone, was not Peter/Petros, meaning small stone , but the Spirit of Revelation, petra, which means foundation stone, which revealed to Peter that Yeshua was the “anointed one”, the son of the living God. (Matthew 16:16) Yeshua was the “son of man” per (Matthew 13:37) & (Matthew 18:11), but as he did the will of God, therefore he became the son of God (Matthew 12:50). With respect to Matthew 18:11, he came to save that which was lost, in that he preached “repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”. With respect to Matthew 13:37, he will come again with his angels to gather up the tares, and burn them with “fire”. By the way, the ring of fire has become active (Alaska quake of 8.7).
On the other hand, the petros, or small stone, is what the Roman church built its church upon. That small stone, as head steward of the house of David (Isaiah 22:15), carved “a place for yourself in the rock” (Isaiah 22:16) and shamed his “master’s house”, and was “deposed”, and replaced with another , the pope, who also claims the keys . In “that day”, the “day of the LORD”, the pope will “fall”, and anyone hanging on to him will be “cut off” (Isaiah 22:25). That house, which does not heed the testimony of Yeshua, but the testimony of the “worthless shepherd”, Peter, Petros, will “fall” (Matthew 7:24-27).
The problems with the Protestants, is that “like mother, like daughter” (Ezekiel 16:44), they also have the wrong foundation to build upon. Their foundation is based upon the false prophets false gospel of grace/cross, which is to believe that Yeshua is the son of God, and you will be saved. Their house is not built using justice and righteousness per Isaiah 28:17, but one based on unmerited grace. Their “covenant of death shall be cancelled, and your pact with Sheol shall not stand” (Isaiah 28:18). There will be no “rapture”.
