Dear Ihruby, Welcome to the froum! "White is the color and livery of heaven. 'New' implies something altogether renewed and heavenly. The white stone is a glistening diamond, the Urim borne by the high priest within the choschen or breastplate of judgment, with the twelve tribes’ names on the twelve precious stones, next the heart. The word Urim means 'light,' answering to the color white. None but the high priest knew the name written upon it, probably the incommunicable name of God, 'Jehovah.' The high priest consulted it in some divinely appointed way to get direction from God when needful. The 'new name' is Christ’s (cf Revelation 3:12, 'I will write upon him My new name'): some new revelation of Himself which shall hereafter be imparted to His people, and which they alone are capable of receiving. The connection with the 'hidden manna' will thus be clear, as none save the high priest had access to the 'manna hidden' in the sanctuary. Believers, as spiritual priests unto God, shall enjoy the heavenly antitypes to the hidden manna and the Urim stone. What they had peculiarly to contend against at Pergamos was the temptation to idol-meats, and fornication, put in their way by Balaamites. As Phinehas was rewarded with 'an everlasting priesthood' for his zeal against these very sins to which the Old Testament Balaam seduced Israel; so the heavenly high priesthood is the reward promised here to those zealous against the New Testament Balaamites tempting Christ’s people to the same sins." --Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset and David Brown In Him, Doc |
