Thank you for taking a look †
(Matthew 6:19-21) "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
It does not matter if it's a suit or an old raggedy t-shirt. Riches to rags, they both are going to go at the same time. For this generation when Christ comes back. Generally, it's too late before the moth is noticed because it is the eggs laid left behind by the female moth. The parents do no damage. And so it is in life, many times too late when we have done so much damage to ourselves spiritually we don't even know it. So we need to search and examine our hearts if we Love the Lord or money and the things of the world first. Do we love the Lord or His creation over Him? So, He is not even an after thought?
The word rust covers anything that is eaten, that which causes corrosion. As it is the Earth is perishing, but the Lord abides forever. Which is why we get the example from Revelation 21:18, the city (Jerusalem) came down from Heaven to Earth was made of pure gold. Pure and true Gold does not rust. Thieves break through and steal of course meaning it can be gone at a moments notice. Now that is "fools gold."
20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
(Store them up there. There will be no evil in the eternity. Therefore, there will be no crooks, and no fools). (Matthew 6:19-21) "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

Therefore, our hearts are to be refined and proven as pure gold. True, pure, and sincere motives of the heart. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God."
Lastly, you have to watch these false preachers. Many use verses for their benefit in ill-gotten gains and usury through the collection plate. If they use a verse to imply and mean money, they have shown where their heart is at. This is how you tell through discernment.
Amen †
