Rock
Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: Ezekiel 13:10–14
False prophets build hope on a weak, whitewashed wall that collapses in the storm until its foundation is exposed. Jesus and Helaman use the same picture in reverse: only a life built on the Redeemer as its foundation stands when the rain, winds, and hail come.
- alluded to by Matthew 7:26-27 — The house built on sand falls when the rain descends, the floods come, and the winds beat upon it.
- alluded to by Helaman 5:12 — Build on the rock of our Redeemer, and the devil's mighty winds, hail, and mighty storm shall have no power.
