It’s not enough to leave Babylon behind, Nineveh to be destroyed (Jonah 1), or Lamanites to dwindle in unbelief (Alma 17: 13-14). The Father has not left earth behind, despite superlative wickedness (2 Ne. 10: 3). With the commandment to “Go ye out from among the nations, even from Babylon” (D&C 133: 14) comes the commandment “Go ye into all the world, and teach all nations, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Matt. 28: 19, Mark 16: 15), until “all the nations of the earth be blessed”( Gen. 26: 4).
God so loved the world… How much do I love the world? (John 3: 16)

I like this thought, it paints a striking balance between the twin dangers of withdraw from the world and becoming enmeshed within it.
