   Comments Matthew 7:24 “House” refers to faith. Build your faith and keep your faith strong by reading, meditating, and practicing the Word of God. A house without the Bible cannot be a house. “Rock” refers to the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He rose in the body, not in the spirit.

   Is the thief a reference to the failed leaders of Israel?

   Does thief refer to Satan?

   • This line of questioning also confirms that thief does not refer to Satan. Thief is not used as a metaphor for Satan in the Old Testament, the New Testament, or other ancient Jewish literature. However, thief and bandit are used as metaphors for the leaders of Israel in the Old Testament (Isa 1:23, Jer 2:26, 7:11, 23:30).
