The first question that must be asked is who is this stumbling stone and Rock offence?

It is Jesus Christ or representing Jesus Christ just like an ambassador of Christ.

Three verses readily come to mind.

Isaiah 8:14
Isaiah 28:16

Romans 9:33

Isaiah 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.

It means that not everyone will accept Jesus Christ, some will be raised up while others will stumble and fall and fail .
Jesus Christ came for the rising up of some people while he also came for the destruction of some people or pulling down of some people.


Many will be taken and fall into snares or trap of the enemy.
Many will fall into error and grievous mistakes.

Some Will be lifted up to high position while others will backslide and end up in hell.

Some Will make heaven some will enter hell fire.

It is a stumbling stone.

One needs to be careful not be a victim of the stumble stone.

Jesus is the stumbling stone for the Jewish people
