God's Daughters Prominent in His Building
Commentary on Psalm 144:12
144:12 ...that our daughters may be as corner stones polished after the similitude of a palace
God’s daughters are not merely supporting pillars in God’s structure—indeed, God’s building has no pillars.
There is a vast difference between supporting pillars and angles in a building.
God’s building is a four-square structure made of living stones shaped like a pyramid—which is a four-square structure. The Holy Jerusalem is not cube-shaped, as most Bible scholars claim; It is a pyramid-shaped structure. We know this because God’s building has a capstone. Only pyramids have capstones.
What is entirely missing from pyramids?
Pillars.
Like other structures, pyramids have angles (known as corner stones in ancient times), which connect to and contribute to the building stability of every other part of the building. God’s building is compared to the only structure in existence that has a chief angle (a capstone is a chief cornerstone)
The pyramid shape of God’s building (both literally and figuratively—see the New Jerusalem) illustrates that there is no difference in the way his daughters or his sons contribute to or are connected to any and every part of the building. The very shape of the structure, which has Jesus as the capstone, precludes gender or any other human hierarchy.
Aside from Jesus the capstone, each and every stone in God’s building holds a position of equal functionality (as opposed to complementarian oxymoronic, hierarchical, ethereal, and “spiritual” equality—whatever in the world that is. Does anyone know?). With the exception of Jesus, the Capstone, every stone in God’s building holds equal connectivity and cruciality with every other stone in the structure, without preeminence over any other stone in the structure.
Zero hierarchy.
There is one vital difference in how God’s heavenly, pyramid-shaped, building is built. God’s building is built from the top down, rather than from the bottom up. The foundation of our faith begins with Jesus, the primary angle, the Chief Cornerstone, the Capstone.
