Revelation Hidden Manna Day 41
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." (Revelation 2.17)
We all need spiritual nourishment in our lives. Here the Revelation "hidden manna" is the spiritual resource given to support their physical needs. As the Israelites traveled towards the promised land, God provided manna from heaven for their physical strength. Jesus, as the bread of life, provides bread that satisfies our deepest hunger. The Revelation "hidden manna" is our food of life.
It is unclear what "the white stone" is or exactly what the names on each will be (the stone at right is inscribed with the owner's name). It could refer to "the white stone" used as a ticket to gain admission to a banquet. In the ancient world, objects called "tesserae" were often used. A "tessera" was a little tablet made of wood or metal or stone. It had writing on it; and, generally speaking, the possession of a "tessera" conferred some kind of privilege upon a person. Three of these tesserae contribute to our understanding.
