October Surprise 2026: The True God Revealed The Stone of Destiny

As long as you don’t look at your calendar, it is October 2nd, and we are here with Day 2 of our October Surprise.

All timing aside, we are back through the gauntlet of the last few weeks, and working our way through “Who God has revealed Himself to be.

Today, an intriguing theme woven throughout the Bible is that God is our Rock. He is our Rock: flowing real water for the thirsty chosen in Exodus, the Rock cut out without hands in Daniel, the Stone the builders rejected in Psalm 118:22, and “a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.” 1 Corinthians 10:4

In Matthew 21:44, Jesus gives the hinge point of eternal destiny: “And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”

This unequivocal statement boldly asserts the only two ways. We either fall on the Chief Cornerstone and are saved in the only name given among men able to save, or we fall on Him and are consigned to eternal destruction. The meaning is clear and restated in Romans 11:22: “Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.”

Our So What?

Our prayer lives are enhanced with our gratitude for our Savior who called us: “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29 “Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30 “For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

And

Our sincere prayers for our beloved:: they will not reject the Cornerstone as the builders have, and will be brought to humility that leads us to eternal life.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

Brethren, let us pray for one another.
