“Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” — Revelation 22:17 Jesus says, “take freely.” He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions.

The 9 Bible verses Christians misuse against Latter-day Saints the most — and how to actually respond with context, history, and logic.In this episode, apologists Gospel Guardian (Braden) and Brittany the Shadow join Ward Radio to tackle the repeat offenders:Revelation 22:18-19 – “Don't add to the Bible” (Book of Mormon attack)Galatians 1:8 – “Another angel preaching a different gospel” (Angel Moroni)John 10:30 – “I and the Father are one” (Trinity proof-text)1 John 5:7 – The Comma Johanneum (later interpolation added to support Trinity)Isaiah 43:10 – “No God formed before or after me” (plurality of gods)Hebrews 1:1-2 – God spoke by prophets… now by His Son (no modern prophets)Ephesians 2:8-9 – Saved by grace through faith, not worksMatthew 22:30 – “Neither marry nor given in marriage” in the resurrectionJohn 4:24 – “God is a Spirit”They explain why cherry-picking destroys meaning, why definitions matter (“gospel,” “one,” “works”), how the Trinity isn't explicitly taught in the Bible, and why the LDS position actually fits the full scriptural context better in almost every case.0:00 - Intro & Guests: Gospel Guardian + Brittany the Shadow1:45 - #1 Revelation 22:18-19 – “Don't Add to the Bible” (Book of Mormon)8:15 - #2 Galatians 1:8 – Another Angel / Different Gospel?

James B. Jordan continues his Revelation series with a study of Revelation 12:1–5, showing how the “great signs” in heaven reveal the drama of the old creation coming to its end. He explains the woman clothed with the sun, the dragon, and the child through the imagery of Israel, the constellations, the temple, and the long biblical story from Eve to Christ. Along the way, Jordan argues that Revelation is not abstract symbolism but a heavenly unveiling of history under God's rule, culminating in the victory of Christ and the formation of His bride, the Church.

Share a commentNames matter more than we like to admit. We start with a wedding moment where getting the groom's name wrong freezes the whole room, then we follow that thread straight into the apostle Peter's claim that salvation comes through one Name: Jesus Christ. That single point becomes a doorway into Romans 7 and the weighty question so many people feel but rarely say out loud: if God's law is good, why does it feel like it always wins the case against us?We walk through Paul's careful structure in Romans 7: a principle, an illustration, and an application. The principle is blunt and universally understood: law only has jurisdiction over the living. The illustration is surprisingly intimate: marriage as a binding covenant that lasts until death. From there we explore natural law and conscience, bringing in C.S. Lewis and everyday stories that show how quickly we reach for “right” and “wrong” even when we claim morality is relative. These connections make the episode especially relevant if you're searching for Romans 7 explained, law and grace, Christian sanctification, or how the gospel actually frees a person.Then we land on Paul's answer: the law doesn't die, we do in Christ. By faith, we are made to die to the law through the body of Christ so we can belong to the One raised from the dead. We close with the hope-filled picture of the Bridegroom and the bride, the coming marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation 19, and the promise that this union is personal and permanent.

Dr. John Lennox has lived one of the most remarkable lives in modern Christian thought. From sitting in on CS Lewis's final lectures at Cambridge in 1962, earning his PhD and teaching at Oxford as Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, debating Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, and authoring best-selling books on faith, science, suffering, AI, and Revelation. In this conversation, Dr. Lennox joins me to discuss his new autobiography, My Story. We talk about his encounter with CS Lewis, what he considers the hardest objection to Christianity (suffering and evil), and how his mind is increasingly filled with the hope of heaven.

Hello, I'm Jeff Shepard. Welcome back. We have reached part 9 of 10 in this series. Over the past several episodes, we have traced one single lie from the Garden of Eden through every layer of deception that has entered the church. You will be like God. We saw how Helena Blavatsky and Alice Bailey laid the occult foundation. We examined Azusa Street and the Ladder Rain movement, where signs and wonders were mixed with chaos, extra-biblical revelations, and the elevation of man. Then we heard modern teachers openly declare that we are little gods, that Jesus was not fully God until his baptism or resurrection, and that we can ascend to the same level. Today, we pull it all together and look at the modern expression, the Seven Mountain Mandate and the not-so-secret New World Order Church. The Seven Mountain Mandate teaches that the church must take dominion over seven spheres, or mountains, of society, the government, media, education, business, family, religion, and arts and entertainment, and build the kingdom of God on earth before Jesus can return. Lance Wallnau, one of the leading voices of this teaching, explains it this way. There are seven molders of culture. He who could take those kingdoms could take the harvest of nations. These seven fields of influence can literally shape the agenda that forms nations. Johnny Enloe, in his book The Seven Mountain Prophecy, takes it even further. The father says to the son, once you have purchased redemption, you will remain up there as the head and your body on earth will crush your enemies. Your body, in fact, will not be a beautiful bride until she has accomplished this by crushing Satan. This is dominionism and Kingdom Now theology in action. The church is called to conquer and rule the nation so Jesus can finally return. It sounds spiritual, it sounds victorious, but it directly contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture. Jesus himself said in Matthew 24, 4-5, See to it that no one misleads you. For many will come in my name saying, I am the Christ, and they will mislead many. The Apostle Paul warned in 1 Timothy 4-1, but the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons. And in 2 Timothy 4, 3-4, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. Revelation makes it plain, Jesus brings his kingdom when he returns. We are not called to build it for him. We are called to be faithful witnesses, to make disciples of individuals, and to live as salt and light in a fallen world until he comes. Even in the middle of all this mixture, God is still there for anyone who is genuinely seeking the real Jesus, the eternal Son of God who became flesh, died for our sins, rose again, and is coming back as King. He meets sincere seekers wherever they are. But we are commanded to test everything. We cannot accept teachers who deny the deity of Christ, who call us little gods, or who say we must conquer the nations before Jesus returns. The focus must remain on the unchanging word of God. Be a Berean. Search the scriptures daily. Do not let anyone, no matter how famous or how many miracles they claim to pull you away from the truth that Jesus is Lord, fully God, and fully man, and that salvation is found in Him alone. I'm Jeff Shepard. This series has been about exposing the subtle shift so you will not be deceived. Next episode, we conclude with Part 10.

If you go to Hell, it will be over Jesus' dead body. I hope my opening didn't sound irreverent. What I mean is that Jesus died to keep you out of Hell. It takes serious determination to refuse God's grace for a lifetime. But many people are just that determined, and today we'll see them at the Great White Throne.

Pray for One Another in Our Race Issues and Go Make a Difference in Our Communities; Jesus Followers Are Here for Times Like This MESSAGE SUMMARY: With regards to our race issues, it will NOT be through political parties, rallies, elections, slogans, or marches that our attitudes and practices are changed or the souls of our nations are converted. Rather, the deep change, which we all need, will only be through a spiritual awakening. This spiritual awakening will come only from repentance – the turning away from our sin and toward God and his righteous ways in Jesus Christ. As Jesus commanded us in John 5:12: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”. Also, in John 13:34-35, Jesus commanded us: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”. Jesus' “one another” is all inclusive and not just those that look like you and/or of your culture. The Bible makes it unequivocally clear that we are all made in the image of God (Genesis 1:27): “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”.  You can start real “racial change” right where you are -- in your own heart first and then in your own relationship with God. At that point, you can then lead the change your own community -- one person at a time; one relationship at a time; and one act a time. You can reach out and build a relationship with someone different than you. However, doing nothing is no longer an option for us. Let us pray for one another about these things and let us get out and make a difference in our local communities. God has placed us here for such a time as this.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.                                                                        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Washington has always been draped in Rome. From the Senate to the Capitol, from the marble columns to the imperial domes, from the eagle imagery to the fasces displayed in Congress, America's ruling class built its civic temple with Roman hands and Roman imagination. The United States presented itself as a republic, but it borrowed the language, architecture, symbolism, and ambition of the empire that came before it. Rome was never as far away from America as we were told. It was carved into the stone from the beginning. Now the symbolism has stepped out of the marble and onto the White House lawn.“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” Revelation 17, 17,18 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Rome understood spectacle. Rome understood how to command the imagination of the people. The arena was never merely entertainment. It was power on display. It was the empire telling the masses who ruled, who conquered, who mattered, and who could be crushed. The Caesars knew that the people could be governed through bread, blood, theater, fear, glory, and distraction. The arena was Rome's pulpit, and the empire preached itself through violence, triumph, and applause America learned the lesson well, very well. The White House, the palace of American executive power, becomes the stage. The fighters become the spectacle. The cameras become the amphitheater. The nation watches as combat entertainment is fused with politics, patriotism, celebrity, military pageantry, and national celebration. Just as it was in the days of Rome. This is not just another headline in a collapsing age. This is a prophetic snapshot of the Roman spirit of empire rising in the modern West. America is not named in Daniel as the final empire, but America has carried the Roman spirit across the modern world. It has exported Roman-style law, military order, global dominance, civic religion, political symbolism, mass entertainment, and imperial power under the banner of freedom and democracy. America calls itself a republic, but it increasingly behaves like an empire. That was Rome's path as well. First the republic, then the strong men, then the spectacle, then the empire. And finally, the inevitable collapse of all of it. The White House lawn has become the arena, and that old Roman spirit is speaking once again. Here at our 250th anniversary, our republic is fading, the spectacle is rising, the Beast system is forming. And the final empire of Antichrist is preparing for its last act before the King of kings returns to break it in pieces and set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. Is America Mystery Babylon? That's the question we will be looking to answer here on Day 2,279 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve!

Can the entire Bible really be summarized in just five words?Many Christians know the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and Paul—but struggle to explain how those stories fit together into one unified narrative.In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb presents a simple framework that helps make sense of the entire Bible:• Creation • Decreation • Recreation • New Creation • Co-CreationFrom Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells one story: God refusing to abandon His creation and pursuing His purposes despite human failure.If you've ever wanted a clearer understanding of the Bible's overarching message, this episode is for you.#jesus #podcast #faith #bible #christ #scholar #scripture #creation #christianeducation #christian #jesuschrist #teaching #biblestudy #provetext #glossahouse Study deeper with GlossaHouse:

Have you ever been through a trial or period of discouragement, and then you received a note or message from a friend that really ministered to you? It's always encouraging to know that a friend is thinking about us, isn't it, especially at a time like that! That's exactly what the Lord did for the church in Smyrna in the second chapter of Revelation. Smyrna was suffering persecution for their faith, and also tribulation and poverty. This little passage of just four verses is a reminder to stay faithful, and that the Lord understands what we're going through. If you're going through similar problems in your life today, allow this to encourage you, and join us for this uplifting message from Revelation chapter two, verses eight through eleven.

Send us Fan MailSome Bible arguments fall apart the moment you ask one question: what do you do with the words on the page? We take a hard look at Ephesians 1 and push back on the claim that predestination is “just for the Jews.” Paul is writing to Christians in Ephesus, and he keeps circling the same drumbeat: those who are in Christ are chosen, adopted, and given an inheritance according to the good pleasure of God's will.From there we go straight into the tension people try to avoid. If God “works all things after the counsel of his own will,” what exactly is left out of “all things”? We talk election, adoption, and salvation by grace, but we also deal honestly with the flip side, the reality that not everyone is saved. That leads us into the objections about fairness, free will, and whether a loving God can still judge. We also unpack “vessels of honor and dishonor,” and why Scripture does not ground that distinction in ethnicity but in belief in Christ.We bring in the big texts that shape Reformed theology and Calvinism conversations: “chosen before the foundation of the world,” the book of life language in Revelation, “many are called, few are chosen,” and Romans 8:28-30 with foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified. Along the way, we test popular slogans like “equal opportunity salvation” against what these passages actually say, and we ask what truly makes one person believe while another refuses.If you care about biblical doctrine, God's sovereignty, and the meaning of grace, this one will make you think. Subscribe for more, share the episode with someone who loves debating predestination and free will, and leave a review with the verse you think is hardest to answer.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

The country of Turkiye is a fascinating place as it has such strong connections to many different religions. This is a truly spiritual place with many of the early Christian churches being founded here. All seven of the churches from Revelation were located in Turkiye. Fascinating and mystical places like Gobekli Tepi are here. There are abandoned cities, some of them underground. And there are plenty of legends and ghost stories. Join us for the history and hauntings of Turkiye. This Month in History features the federal trial of Susan B. Anthony.

What do we mean when we talk about "the last judgment?" We saw in our previous excursion into the book of Revelation that we can get a bit sloppy about what we call "Heaven." We distinguished three states of bliss, not just one. Just so, there are 3 things that are often confused under the broad heading, The Final Judgment. And those are very, very different. Jim will help us sort them out, today. And we have good news about the future of the program! Let me tell you about that, after our lesson.

Preparing for Disclosure Day examines the growing interest in UFOs, UAPs, government disclosures, and the film Disclosure Day. As these topics move into mainstream conversation, many Christians are asking important questions about spiritual deception, biblical prophecy, and the nature of non-human intelligences. In Episode 523 of Luke21, Steve Wood explores these topics through the lens of Scripture, drawing connections between Genesis 6, the days of Noah, Revelation 9 and 20, and 2 Thessalonians 2.

THEY BURIED PEOPLE INSIDE WALLS. No, this isn't the plot of a horror movie. Archaeologists have discovered skeletons encased within famous landmarks and ancient structures around the world. Why?  What if one forgotten practice unlocks some of the most mysterious passages in the Bible? What do these seemingly unrelated things have in common?The Passover"Behold, I stand at the door and knock..." (Revelation 3:20)The London BridgeThe Stone of Scone used in British coronationsWedding thresholdsShip christeningsRed carpetsThe answer is something called The Threshold Covenant—an ancient practice so widespread that once you see it, you'll never read Scripture the same way again. On this episode of the Cross Files Podcast, Jennifer Parks of the Gritty Ladies Book Club joins us to explore the shocking connections hidden in plain sight.  In this episode, you'll discover:The REAL meaning of Revelation 3:20—and why it's probably NOT what you were taught in Sunday school.Why ancient cultures around the world buried living humans beneath foundations to "protect" buildings.Why the Passover wasn't bizarre in its original context—it was understood by everyone living in the ancient world.The chilling connection between Psalm 91 and threshold language that gave us goosebumps.The disturbing reality of human depravity... and why the grace of God is the ONLY difference between us and the darkest people who have ever lived.David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam"): Is his prison conversion genuine? One pastor spent over 100 hours with him behind bars.Jacob's Ladder, the Stone of Scone, and why Britain's monarchy still incorporates ancient symbolism today. And stay until the very end...Jennifer shares a deeply moving vision that had us fighting back tears. It is a powerful reminder that no matter how dark the world becomes, God's mercy still reaches people at the threshold. Have you ever heard of the Threshold Covenant before?

Episode: Meteors, Earthquakes, and the End of the World — Are We All Going to Die? The night sky is beautiful, but what happens when the stars start falling? In this explosive episode of Hardcore Christianity, Brother Mike tackles a question that is forcing its way onto the nightly news: Are we running out of time? Pulling directly from alarming NASA charting and recent real-world events—like the 230-ton fireball that recently shattered the peace over Massachusetts with a midday sonic boom—Brother Mike bridges the gap between modern data and ancient prophecy. Since the year 2000, the number of near-Earth meteorites has skyrocketed from 850 to tens of thousands, and destructive earthquakes registering between 6 and 8 on the Richter scale are accelerating staggeringly. Space is going crazy, and nature itself is screaming a warning. This isn't random coincidence; it is exactly what the Lord Jesus predicted would happen just before the Tribulation. Brother Mike walks you through the harrowing timeline of Earth's future, breaking down the catastrophic cosmic events detailed in the Scriptures: The Six Seals of Judgment: See the future unfold in Revelation 6, where the stars of heaven fall to the Earth like figs shaken from a tree, and a global earthquake rattles the planet. The Blazing Star of Wormwood: Unpack the sounding of the trumpets in Revelation 8. Learn about the giant asteroid destined to blaze through the atmosphere, poison a third of the Earth's waters, and create enough smoke to black out the sun. The Final Shake-Up of Jerusalem: Look at the severe prophetic judgments in Revelation 11 and the unprecedented destruction waiting on the horizon. The Worst Earthquake in Human History: Face the reality of Revelation 16, which promises a mighty shaking worse than anything seen since mankind was placed on the Earth—even surpassing the great flood of Noah. The Words of Christ: Ground your understanding in the warnings of Jesus from Luke 21, detailing the famines, pestilences, and fearful sights (phobeo—panic attacks) that will cause men's hearts to fail them for fear. The Rapture and the Tribulation are just around the corner, and time is officially running out. If you have been living in cognitive passivity, it is time to wake up, change your life, and rededicate your soul to the Lord before the judgment seals are opened.

Thursday, 11 June 2026   So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” Matthew 20:23   “And He says to them, ‘The ‘indeed, ‘cup, Mine',' you will drink, and the immersion, the ‘I, I am immersed' you will be immersed. The, also, to sit from ‘rights, Me', and from ‘lefts, Me', not it is Mine – these to give, but those it has been prepared under the ‘Father, Mine'.'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the sons of Zebedee that they didn't realize what they were asking. He asked them if they could drink the cup He was to drink from and to be immersed with the immersion that He was to be immersed with. They boldly claimed that they were able. In response to that, it next says, “And He says to them, ‘The ‘indeed, ‘cup, Mine',' you will drink.'”   Jesus' cup refers to His coming passion. His words do not mean that they would suffer vicariously for others, something Jesus alone could do. Rather, as the Head of the church, those who follow Him will enter into His suffering simply by being His follower. The level at which that occurs for these two is not addressed. Jesus merely states it as a fact.   Acts 12:2 reveals that James was killed with the sword by Herod. John's suffering began at the cross as he watched Jesus die. From that time on, his life was wholly sold out to whatever trials or persecutions came his way. Thus, he was a living martyr, a living witness to the sufferings of Christ throughout his years. Toward the end of them, he wrote to the church –   “I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 1:9   There is a tradition that he survived being boiled in oil, but there is nothing to substantiate that beyond the tradition itself. Regardless, his life was long and was given over to the call of Christ. Jesus continues, saying, “and the immersion, the ‘I, I am immersed' you will be immersed.”   As noted in the previous verse, Jesus' immersion was His death on the cross. He died for the sins of the world. This is not what James and John would do, nor could they. However, they were immersed with Christ's immersion, something all believers participate in when they come to Christ –   “In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.” Colossians 2:11, 12   Christ died for sin, while believers die to sin in Christ. Thus, we are immersed into His immersion. This is referring to what occurs when one receives Jesus, not an outward display of water baptism. Water baptism is a command given by Jesus as an identifying sign of the inner change that has taken place. Jesus continues, saying, “The, also, to sit from ‘rights, Me', and from ‘lefts, Me', not it is Mine – these to give.”   At first, this seems contradictory to Revelation 3:21 –   “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”   Jesus has full authority to grant to those who come to Him their place in His kingdom. This would include the position to His left and right, but there is an order and a propriety in all things, including the process of granting such a position. Therefore, Jesus continues, saying, “but those it has been prepared under the ‘Father, Mine'.”   The words “under the ‘Father, Mine'” mean “under His authority or direction.” Jesus could not grant what He had not yet received. The Father ordained that Jesus was to be born under the law, live without sinning under the law, and die in fulfillment of the law. For Him to say that He would grant these positions before His work was done would be improper.   This is reflected in the opening words of Romans –   “Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God 2 which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” Romans 1:1-4   As noted, there is an order to all things. Jesus had to follow what was prescribed by the Father, fulfilling His will before He could make such a determination as to who would sit in such a position. Thus, they are positions that are, as He said, “prepared under the ‘Father, Mine'.”   Life application: The cup of Jesus' suffering is one that those who follow Him will participate in. The manner in which it takes place will be different for all. Paul speaks of this in 2 Corinthians –   “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ. 6 Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. 7 And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-7   The fact that we have accepted Jesus means that we have partaken of the cup of Jesus' suffering. Any suffering beyond that will be based on our interactions within the world as followers of Christ. If someone were to move to a country where evangelism is forbidden and started evangelizing, he may be fined, imprisoned, or executed.   The choice to go to that country was voluntary. He could have stayed in his hometown and been a plumber. As a plumber, someone might say, “I will never hire that guy. He has a Jesus bumper sticker.” That suffering was also voluntary. He did not need to put the sticker on his car.   The level and type of suffering we will receive beyond participating in Jesus' suffering through faith in His completed work may be up to us, or it may be a result of our environment. The Christians in Nigeria will certainly agree to that. They are slaughtered by the thousands because of the name of Jesus.   Therefore, what occurs to any of us in our Christian walk will result from both personal choices as well as individual circumstances that are often beyond our control. No matter what, we should not fear in our walk in this world. We are His, and He will deliver us from this body of death to eternal life with Him.   Lord God, help us to have an eternal perspective in regard to our walk with You. Whatever happens here is temporary and will come to an end. But what lies ahead is eternal. May we not squander this short life we possess when it could be used for Your glory, each step of the way. Amen.

Today we'll be looking at the Lord's postcard to the church in Ephesus in Revelation chapter two. While they were commended for some things, they had walked away from their first love. Their love had grown cold. It happened to the Ephesians and it's still happening to Christians today. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

We’re all familiar with the experience of being tourists, but exiles? No way. And yet, we are told in multiple places in the Bible to think of ourselves as exiles here on earth, because this is not our true home. In this message from Revelation 14–18, Pastor J.D. shows us the value of living as exiles in a place that frequently seems alluring but will ultimately pass away. What we are meant to do is fix our eyes on the heavenly city, the one with true, lasting foundations. That, after all, is our eternal home.
