White Stone of Revelation
Stones of the Bible
Part Three

✵ Bible ✵

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Revelation 2:17

✵ Cayce Readings ✵

A white stone is mentioned eleven times in ten documents.

My Life Reading told me that the crystal or any white stone carried on my body would be a helpful influence . . . I began carrying a small, clear, hexagonal crystal of quartz, which, since it is a crystal and is descriptively ’white’ or crystal, I have assumed is specifically what the reading prescribed.

This stone has given me a great deal of pleasure . . . it incites a pleasant nostalgia . . .

Source was asked to interpret the biblical passage from Revelation:

Q: Please interpret the 2nd Chapter, 17th verse of Revelation. “To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”

A: In giving the interpretation of this particular portion of the Revelation . . . the references—or all—refer to the physical body as the pattern, there is that as may be said to be the literal and the spiritual and the metaphysical interpretation of almost all portions of the Scripture, and especially of the Revelation as given by John.

. . . Each entity, each soul, is known,—in all the experiences through its activities—as a name to designate it from another. It is not only then a material convenience, but it implies—as has been given, unless it is for material gain—a definite period in the evolution of the experience of the entity in the material plane.”

281-31

. . . any white stone, has a helpful influence—if carried about the body . . .

2285-1

In stones—the whiter, the more crystal the better.

1775-1

As to stones, the blue or white stone should be as a lavaliere about the body. This is the better form of vibration for the entity, keeping a temperament gentler and more open.

Based on these Life Readings, it would be easy to say that the white stone mentioned in Revelation in the Bible was a crystal, but I believe it was something else. Mentioned three times by name in Revelation, the white stone may be something other than crystal, perhaps something as sacred as the manna itself.

One thought is that in ancient times, the Romans used to award white stones with their names inscribed on them to the winners of athletic games. Perhaps Revelation’s white stone was yet another example of the early church’s attempt to speak to ordinary people in a language they could understand regarding the rewards that awaited them through Christ.
