This was prophesied by the prophets of old and fulfilled through the incarnation. In any case, the point is that the very foundation of the church is Jesus Christ. It is hard to visualize one stumbling over a capstone, but metaphors can be stretched. Jeremias in 1925, take a different tack, separating the two stones and making the cornerstone one thing and the stone at the "head of the corner" another, that is, a capstone or keystone. Some modern interpreters, beginning with J. The metaphor seems obvious: the cornerstone is either a source of blessing or judgment, depending on a person's attitude toward it. The stone laid in Zion ( Isa 28:16 ) is precious to the believer, but as the stone placed at the "head of the corner" ( eis kephalen gonias), that is, exalted ( Psalm 118:22 ), he is a stone of offense and stumbling ( Isa 8:4 ) to those who refuse to believe. Peter's use of the idea is more complex, stringing three prophetic verses together ( Psalm 118:22 Isa 8:4 28:16 ). Paul builds on this concept in Ephesians 2:20 by saying that Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone, the apostles and prophets are foundation stones, and the whole building (the church) is a holy temple in the Lord.

God said their security was false because he would lay a stone in Zion, a precious cornerstone, which really was secure and it was not those present rulers. In Isaiah 28:16 the prophet speaks God's words directly to the rulers in Jerusalem who boasted that they were immune to the scourges of life because they were secure in themselves.
