"“The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at lofty and supposedly fireproof buildings, and said, ‘They are perfectly safe.’ But these buildings were consumed as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines. LS 413.4"
"And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it."
Both passages describe a false sense of security followed by sudden destruction. The EGW passage describes fireproof buildings being consumed, while Matthew 7:26-27 describes a house built on sand collapsing in a storm. The thematic parallel of misplaced trust and unexpected ruin is present.
