Direct Answer
These pictures place the church at the center of God's purposes and make each Christian one part of something being built together. The transcript does not spell out every effect, but its images point in that direction.
Support from the Message
- The woman who shares the early visions turns out to be the church. She is very old because she was created first by God, and the world was made for her. - The tower is also the church, and every stone in it is a member of that church. - People, angels and elders help carry the stones and chisel them into their place. - The first stones fit so closely that the joints were not visible, and the tower looked as if it were built out of a single stone.
Discussion Follow-up
Do you tend to see the church as central to God's purposes or as an optional support for your own faith? What would change if you saw yourself as one stone in a single building?
