ST83: Living Like You'll Never Leave: Is This World My Home—Or Not? Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

There was a recent prediction that the Rapture would happen Sept 23, 2025. It came and went, apparently no Rapture. But every time there is a major Rapture prediction, enthusiasts sell their worldly possessions to prepare themselves for the Great Beyond. In this episode, AJ and Nijay talk about what the Bible teaches about our posture towards the earth we live in now. Does the Bible teach that this world is our home, or is it just a place we happen to be passing through? It appears that our answer to this questions matters greatly. Listen in.
