Cornerstone in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Capstone, Chief cornerstone, Head of the corner, Foundation stone

What it means

Christ, and Christ as the foundation.

Precise alignment; the marker from which the whole building is set out — here, the universal Church.

The stone the builders rejected became the head of the corner. What the builders judged useless became the point everything else was measured from.

✦ When it is positive

Christ as the foundation
Christ as the measure and precise alignment of the Church

⚠ When it is a warning

A stone of stumbling and a rock of offence to those who reject it
A building set out from the wrong stone

How to tell the difference

The cornerstone is the first and most important stone, laid before any other. Note whether it is being laid, rejected, stumbled over or measured from — each is a distinct reading.

Scripture

The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
Psalm 118:22 (WEB)

Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.
Isaiah 28:16 (WEB)

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;
Ephesians 2:20 (WEB)

⁶Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.” ⁷For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,” ⁸and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
1 Peter 2:6-8 (WEB)
