Dude! This is the most prophetic thing in the whole Bible. Hear me out. Simon son of Jonah (not the whale guy), is a fisherman, and Jesus tells him to come along and fish people instead. Jesus gives him a nickname, Kephas, this nickname was then translated from Aramaic into Greek, Petros. Jesus later says that "On this rock I will build my church", and that's the meaning of the nickname Kephas/Petros, Stone, or Rock.
Now considering that Simon's full name was Simon bar Yonah, in English: Simon son of John, or even Simon Johnson, then his full name with Jesus' nickname is: Simon the Rock Johnson!
Funny coincidence? Skipping ahead a few thousand years, our current Rock is called Dwayne, and the meaning of that name happens to be Fishhook. And if you really wanna bring it home, Dwayne the Rock Johnson's daughter is named... SIMONE! We've come full circle! The end times are near.
Am I mad as a hatter?
Would that just be Simone Dwaynesdaughter?
