The foundation I stand upon; the rock thereof, the step, as well as the gate are not stones cut out by the hands of men. The foundation; which is my rock, is a sure foundation laid in the creation and that rock is Christ. I look to the rock that is higher than I. And upon this rock will He build his Church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
That rock was not Peter as some say, it was Peter's revelation that Jesus was the Christ. And if you want to get geographically specific about where Christ was standing when he said this. He was standing upon the rock basin in the land of Dan, near Caesarea Philippi, near the Tel of the city of Dan. And further more, the rock basin was the basin of MT Hermon also known as MT Transfiguration and also MT Dan. So thats the rock He was standing upon: search the scriptures. He was standing in the rock basin of Dan.
"This old border city was originally called Laish. Its modern name is Tell el-Kady, "Hill of the Judge." It stands about four miles below Caesarea Philippi, in the midst of a region of surpassing richness and beauty." Dan ~ City of Dan, Easton's Bible Dictionary
