(2:20-22) Note in this passage that there is no reference to the priesthood of Israel in the building. First, there is the "chief cornerstone", Jesus our Lord. Second, there are the "apostles". From them, we obtained our specific instructions as to our relationship with God in Christ. Third, there were the "prophets". Through them, we learned of the first advent of Christ and of His rejection by Israel and mankind and of the election of a people apart from Israel as His own.
