As we look into the word of God to understand the symbols of John’s vision, we discover that God has given us a blueprint to follow to build our characters. The blueprint is there in Revelation 10 and incorporates seven pillars. If we build on these seven pillars, when the rains descend and the winds begin to blow and beat on our houses and try our characters we’ll stand because God was the One building our houses, fashioning our characters. The question is, Is God building your house? Or have you made some amendments to His plan and submitted your own version to God?
