The Tree planted on this humble mound will have driven its roots deep into the center of the earth. Its branches will reach the heavens, and that greatness of Israel which is so soon to pass away, that material greatness which is full of deceit and treachery, will be replaced by a spiritual greatness that will bring blessings to the universe. Jesus is the cornerstone of a new Temple “not made with hands.”94 “The stone which the builders rejected will become the cornerstone,”95 and also “no man can lay any other foundation save that which hath been laid, which is Christ Jesus.”96
