One day I was meditating on God's Word and I got this revelation. When God gave them the law it was written on tablets of stone. So I know by this that stones are words. Jesus and the Word are the same according to I John 1. In Co. 10:4 it says the children of Israel all drank spiritual drink from that spiritual Rock that followed them in the wilderness and that Rock was Christ. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness the first temptation the devil brought to Jesus was to turn the stones into bread. Jesus IS the stone turned to bread. He was the law that the people couldn't stomach in the Old Testament, turned to bread that we can eat and live in the New. Every temptation the devil gave Jesus had already been promised him by God. The temptation was to get it now from the devil and by-pass the cross.
The law had to be written twice. Moses got mad and broke the first one because the people were already living in sin. God told him to write it again. The first time stood for the Old Testament law that they couldn't keep. The second law stood for the New Testament law that would stand forever. (Ex. 34:1) In the New Testament it tells us that the Word is written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. Before the law was burdensome and mainly fell on hard hearts. Now the law of God is life and our hearts are soft to receive its life, not its death.
In the Old Testament they were punished by being stoned. Now we are punished by the Word of God. It is the stones. We either die to ourselves by the Word or we harden our hearts and just feel the 'hit'.
They also had to take the stone off the mouth of the well to water the sheep just like we have to open the Word to get the deep things of God to teach the body. When Jesus was walking into Jerusalem on a donkey and all the people were praising him with their words, the disciples wanted to rebuke them. Jesus told them that if they didn't praise him the stones would cry out. In truth rocks hold memory so these rocks had been there from the foundation of the earth and they knew who Jesus was.
So how does this relate to dreams? If we dream of throwing stones at someone then our words are hurting someone. If stones are being thrown at us then someone's words are hurting us. If we trip over a stone, maybe we are stumbling over the truth and need to reevaluate what we are missing. It was a stone that brought Goliath down and by our words we can bring the devil down. So choose your rocks carefully.
Lord, we commit our mouths to you. May we speak life and not death.
