2:17 Those who remain faithful to Christ will receive manna, nourishment from heaven (see Exod 16:11-36).
• hidden away in heaven: During the Exodus, a jar of manna was placed in the Ark of the Covenant (Exod 16:33-36). Jewish tradition said that at the coming of the Messiah, the Ark would reappear and manna would be eaten at the messianic banquet. Jesus is the bread from heaven and the bread of life (John 6:32-35; cp. Exod 16:4-21).
• A white stone was often given to victors in athletic competitions, and it was common for special banquets or festivities to use a white stone for admission. It therefore suggests acceptance and victory.
• The new name probably refers to the recipient’s transformed nature in Christ (see Gen 17:5; 32:28; John 1:42).
