23And then wil I professe vnto them, I neuer knew you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquity. 24¶ Therefore, whosoeuer heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I wil liken him vnto a wise man, which built his house vpon a rocke: 25And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat vpon that house: and it fell not, for it was founded vpon a rocke. 26And euery one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall bee likened vnto a foolish man, which built his house vpon the sand: 27And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

People's Bible Notes for Matthew 7:25
Mt 7:25 The rain descended, . . . and it fell not. Palestine is a country of torrents and sands. This verse gives a picture of the sudden violent storms and sweeping floods which are so common during the rainy season. The house founded upon the rock could not be undermined and destroyed, but would stand firm. So, says the Lord, shall it be with those who hear and obey. "They shall stand in the judgment" (Ps 1:5).
