• The manna represents Christ Himself as He came down from heaven and took a place of abasement in the world. Those who were slipping away into the world are reminded of the place which Christ took down here. The "hidden manna" refers to the use which was made of the manna for the ark: a certain portion of it was taken into the holy place as a memorial before God. The faithful are to eat not of the manna only, but of the hidden manna. (“Lectures on Revelation 2:12-18” by W. Kelly)
• How sweet in glory it will be, that He who will have brought us into all the enjoyment and peace of heaven is the same One we have known in all His path of sorrow and rejection in this world, with whom we have shared it ever so feebly here, feeding on Him as our portion even now! The white stone was a mark of entire acquittal. (“Lectures on Revelation 2:12-18” by W. Kelly)
• and such shall have the white stone, "and on the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth save he that receiveth it" (i.e., the expression of Christ's own secret satisfaction in the way in which you have suffered for Him and served Him below). (“Lectures on Revelation 2:12-18” by W. Kelly)
• Hidden Manna: The once humbled and rejected One known in heaven. (“Revelation 2 Symbols” by A.H. Burton)
• White Stone: Individual approbation by Christ. (“Revelation 2 Symbols” by A.H. Burton)
