stone shall be broken
Christ as the "Stone" is revealed in a threefold way:
(1) To Israel Christ, coming not as a splendid monarch but in the form of a servant, is a stumbling stone and rock of offence. Isaiah 8:14,15; Romans 9:32,33; 1 Corinthians 1:23; 1 Peter 2:8
(2) to the church, Christ is the foundation stone and the head of the corner 1 Corinthians 3:11; Ephesians 2:20-22; 1 Peter 2:4,5
(3) to the Gentile world-powers (see "Gentiles," Luke 21:24; Revelation 16:19 He is to be the smiting-stone of destruction Daniel 2:34. Israel stumbled over Christ; the church is built upon Christ; Gentile world- dominion will be broken by Christ.
See "Armageddon" Revelation 16:14; 19:19.
And whosoever
Or, Whosoever falls on this stone shall be crushed together i.e. the Jews Isaiah 8:14; Romans 9:32,33; 1 Corinthians 1:23] but on whomsoever it may fall, he will be scattered as dust ( (Greek - ajpovllumi ," i).e. the Gentile nations, Daniel 2:34,35,45 (See Scofield "Daniel 2:35") .
