This episode contrasts the imperial imagination with the prophetic imagination. The imperial imagination tells us that this is the way things are, this is the way things have always been and this is the way things are always going to be. In other words, the imperial imagination is very good at perpetuating the myth of its own eternity. 

On the other hand, the prophetic imagination can see through the way the now is being presented, it knows things are not the way they seem, moreover the prophetic imagination has access to deep memories so it can remember a different past. And because the prophetic imagination can see through the way the now is being presented and can remember a different past, the prophetic imagination can envisage and hope for an entirely different future. 

But in order for the prophetic imagination to be able to do all this, the imagination has to be free and the prophetic imagination finds its freedom in relationship with the God who is completely free. But a god, who is ‘coincidentally’ aligned with all our major institutions and the views of the surrounding predominant culture is probably not a free god but the servant and slave of the established order.
