SAVATAGE -- HANDFUL OF RAIN



A foundation, as its name implies, is the basis, or base, upon which something is founded, or established. As a man who spent His working life as a builder [teckton], Yahshua Ha Mashiach knew the importance of a solid foundation in a home, and as the Son of Yahweh, He warned of its symbolic importance to salvation:

"Thus you will know them by their fruits. Not every one who says to Me, 'Master, Master,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, 'Master, Master, did we not prophesy in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and do many mighty works in Your Name?' [see I Did It My Way...] And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you evildoers.' Every one then who hears these words of Mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And every one who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it." (Matthew 7:20-27 RSV - Revealed Name supplied)
