The Breastplate of the High Priest
Unlocking the Mystery of the Living Stones Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ 1 Peter 2:5
Have you ever wondered what the stones in the breastplate of the High Priest represent? Since we are a royal priesthood and called by God to be living stones, we should know about the jewels of beauty that we have now become to the Lord. I was reading Ezekiel 28:13 where it talks about Lucifer before the fall: he had nine stones as his covering. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to my heart and asked me a thought provoking question. He said, Lucifer had nine of the twelve stones on the breastplate of the high priest what row was he missing? So began this journey to discover what each stone and row means in our lives; and as a living priesthood of believers, how we can appropriate this and shine as stones of beauty, for His glory.
Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Ezekiel 28:13
