They are like a man who builds a house. He digs down deep and sets it on solid rock. When a flood comes, the river rushes against the house. But the water can’t shake it. The house is well built.

似人建屋、掘而深之、置基磐上、洪水氾濫、河流衝屋、不能撼之、以其建之善也、

譬諸建屋、掘而深之、置基磐上、洪水氾濫、橫流衝屋、不能震動、以基磐上也、

譬人建屋、掘地而深之、置基於磐上、至潦水漲溢、橫流衝屋、不能震動、因置基於磐上也、

是猶人之建屋、掘地既深、植基於磐石之上、洪水驟至、橫流冲擊、而其屋屹然不動者、其基固也。

They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded.

God has given me the grace to lay a foundation as a wise builder. Now someone else is building on it. But each one should build carefully.No one can lay any other foundation than what has already been laid. That foundation is Jesus Christ.A person may build on it using gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay or straw.But each person’s work will be shown for what it is. On judgment day it will be brought to light. It will be put through fire. The fire will test how good each person’s work is.If the building doesn’t burn up, God will give the builder a reward for the work.If the building burns up, the builder will lose everything. The builder will be saved, but only like one escaping through the flames.

So the Lord and King speaks. He says,“ Look! I am laying a stone in Zion. It is a stone that has been tested. It is the most important stone for a firm foundation. The one who depends on that stone will never be shaken.

It is surely true that he is my rock. He is the God who saves me. He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure.

The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock.But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand.

Give praise to the God who is able to keep you from falling into sin. He will bring you into his heavenly glory without any fault. He will bring you there with great joy.

“ Trust in the Lord forever. The Lord himself is the Rock. The Lord will keep us safe forever.

You are a building that is built on the apostles and prophets. They are the foundation. Christ Jesus himself is the most important stone in the building.

Christ is the living Stone. People did not accept him, but God chose him. God places the highest value on him.You also are like living stones. As you come to Christ, you are being built into a house for worship. There you will be holy priests. You will offer spiritual sacrifices. God will accept them because of what Jesus Christ has done.In Scripture it says,“ Look! I am placing a stone in Zion. It is a chosen and very valuable stone. It is the most important stone in the building. The one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”( Isaiah 28:16)

Who is God except the Lord? Who is the Rock except our God?

Who can separate us from Christ’s love? Can trouble or hard times or harm or hunger? Can nakedness or danger or war?It is written,“ Because of you, we face death all day long. We are considered as sheep to be killed.”( Psalm 44:22)No! In all these things we are more than winners! We owe it all to Christ, who has loved us.I am absolutely sure that not even death or life can separate us from God’s love. Not even angels or demons, the present or the future, or any powers can separate us.

But then they deserted the Rock. He was their Father. They forgot the God who created them.

“ The waves of death were all around me. A destroying flood swept over me.

The sky rolled back like a scroll. Every mountain and island was moved out of its place.Everyone hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. This included the kings of the earth, the princes and the generals. It included rich people and powerful people. It also included everyone else, both slaves and people who were free.They called out to the mountains and rocks,“ Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne! Hide us from the anger of the Lamb!The great day of their anger has come. Who can live through it?”

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything done in it.So everything will be destroyed in this way. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.Live like this as you look forward to the day of God. Living like this will make the day come more quickly. On that day fire will destroy the heavens. Its heat will melt everything in them.But we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth. Godliness will live there. All this is in keeping with God’s promise.Dear friends, I know you are looking forward to this. So try your best to be found pure and without blame. Be at peace with God.

When Israel grew fat, they became stubborn. When they were filled with food, they became fat and heavy. They left the God who made them. They turned away from the Rock who saved them.

But he will destroy Nineveh with a powerful flood. He will chase his enemies into the place of darkness.

He said,“ The Lord is my rock and my fort. He is the God who saves me.

Dear children, remain joined to Christ. Then when he comes, we can be bold. We will not be ashamed to meet him when he comes.

Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice. They have lifted up their pounding waves.But Lord, you are more powerful than the roar of the ocean. You are stronger than the waves of the sea. Lord, you are powerful in heaven.

But God’s solid foundation stands firm. Here is the message written on it.“ The Lord knows who his own people are.”( Numbers 16:5) Also,“ All who say they believe in the Lord must turn away from evil.”

“ I have told you these things, so that you can have peace because of me. In this world you will have trouble. But be encouraged! I have won the battle over the world.”

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord. Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us.

Their rock is not like our Rock. Even our enemies know that.

People in the west will show respect for the Lord’ s name. People in the east will worship him because of his glory. The Lord will come like a rushing river that was held back. His breath will drive it along.

“ The Lord lives! Give praise to my Rock! Give honor to my God, the Rock! He is my Savior!

When the storm is over, sinners are gone. But those who do right stand firm forever.

My brothers and sisters, try very hard to show that God has appointed you to be saved. Try hard to show that he has chosen you. If you do everything I have just said, you will never trip and fall.

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion. They will always be secure. They will last forever.Like the mountains around Jerusalem, the Lord is all around his people both now and forever.

Let everyone who is faithful pray to you while they can still look to you. When troubles come like a flood, they certainly won’t reach those who are faithful.

“ Death, where is the victory you thought you had? Death, where is your sting?”( Hosea 13:14)The sting of death is sin. And the power of sin is the law.But let us give thanks to God! He gives us the victory because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.My dear brothers and sisters, remain strong in the faith. Don’t let anything move you. Always give yourselves completely to the work of the Lord. Because you belong to the Lord, you know that your work is not worthless.

God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble.The earth may fall apart. The mountains may fall into the middle of the sea. But we will not be afraid.The waters of the sea may roar and foam. The mountains may shake when the waters rise. But we will not be afraid.

There they helped the believers gain strength. They told them to remain faithful to what they had been taught.“ We must go through many hard times to enter God’s kingdom,” they said.

“ There isn’t anyone holy like the Lord. There isn’t anyone except him. There isn’t any Rock like our God.

The God of Israel spoke. The Rock of Israel said to me,‘ A king must rule over people in a way that is right. He must have respect for God when he rules.

I saw a great white throne. And I saw God sitting on it. When the earth and sky saw his face, they ran away. There was no place for them.I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books.The sea gave up the dead that were in it. And Death and Hell gave up their dead. Each person was judged by what they had done.Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
