THE ANSWER: |
JESUS CHRIST:
THE ROCK OF OUR SALVATION
There are two Hebrew words for ROCK, (1) TSUR (70x) which speaks of a rock that can range from the size of a pebble to the size of a boulder and (2) SELA (54x) which generally describes a larger rock such as a crag (steep rugged rock), a cliff or a mountainside. Approximately 50% (62 of 124) of the OT uses of ROCK are metaphorical and in some way picture Jehovah -- these figurative uses of rock will be the focus of this short series on “JESUS OUR ROCK”.
