When Jesus was tempted in the desert in Matthew 4, Satan told Jesus to turn the stones into bread. In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, Jesus said that when a child asks their father for bread, he will not give his child a stone. Then in Revelation 2:17, we have this: > He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. > To the one who conquers I will give some of the **hidden manna**, and I > will give him a **white stone**, with a new name written on the stone that > no one knows except the one who receives it. Here Jesus is offering bread (manna) and a stone! Is there some special meaning behind the juxtaposition of bread and stone in Revelation 2:17?
