Psalm 127 verse 1: Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Seekers how sad it is to labour in vain and not know that your foundation on sand, not on the foundation of the rock. David said except the Lord build the house they labor in vain. Seekers how sad it is that today our eyes are not on the truth of God's word when it comes to the plan of salvation we are blind. Our ears are dull of hearing the truth but we can hear the old devil and his deceiving lies. Hear me again about the foundation it is the rock or it is sand. The apostles were sent to preach the word, the plan of salvation to the world. The twelve apostles are the foundation of the gospel, but if your foundation is on some other doctrine then in vain your labor is on sand. Jesus is our rock today, he is our defense, our refuge, our strength, our peace and life. The devil brought death to mankind.
Psalms 61 verse 2: From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalms 94 verse 22: But the Lord is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
Psalms 18 verse 2: The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer my God, my strength in whom I will trust; my buckler and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Deuteronomy 32 verse 4: He is the rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are judgment; A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Isaiah 32 verse 1: Behold a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgement.
verse 2: and a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
verse 3: and the eys of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
verse 4: The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Seekers, this message is about the rock and the sand.
Matthew 16
verse 18: and I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
1st Kings 6 verse 7 Solomon's temple was built of stones, stones or rocks only was to be built with.
Let us look at Babylon in the land of Shinar, the north part of the Arabian desert. This is the beginning of the false church found in the book of Revelation Chapter 17 verses 1-18 This is the beast or Antichrist that will come.
Genesis Chapter 11 verses 1-4
verse 1: and the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
verse 2: and it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
verse 3: and they said one to another, go let us make brick and burn them throughly and they had brick for stone and slime had they for morter.
verse 4: and they said, go to let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name lest we be scattered abroud upon the face of the whole earth.
Seekers note Solomons temple was made of stone. Stones are not made by man, but God. Stones only were to be built with, that had to do with God. Temples, houses, and alters. Babylon they had brick for stone and slime had they for morter. God's temple the stones were hew out, no slime. Babylon was going to change to man made bricks in stead of stones and from there they changed God's word to trinity three god's the lie of the devil to deceive the world. False prophets. The true church is built on a rock the foundation that will stand. The false church is built on sand and bricks that won't stand when Jesus comes. Jesus is our rock of salvation.
Praise his holy name!!
Amen
