The stone as Christ in seven ways.

1. Jacob finds rest on the stone.
2. Jacob gets a clear view of access to heaven from earth on the stone.
3. Jacob received the promise on the stone.
4. Jacob renames the place of the stone, calling it Bethel (house of God) instead of Luz (light) – ye are the light of the world. It’s the place where light becomes the house of God.
5. Jacob builds an altar with the stone. It’s a memorial and a place where God met with him.
6. Jacob anoints the stone with oil.
7. The stone is to become God’s house.
