Gold & Silver Precious Metals -



Gold is the first, and most frequently mentioned metal
in the Bible.

From the beginning, it has been a noble metal, highly
valued for its weight, rarity, durable non-tarnishing
luster, shimmering beauty, ductility, and malleability.

A number of Old Testament Hebrew terms refer to gold,
such as zahav, charuts, kethem, paz, seghor, and ophir.

In the New Testament, the Greek words khrysos and khrysion
are used as reference to ornaments, coins, and
gold in general.

Gold's rarity, throughout history, and even in Biblical
times, gave it a monetary value, which made it useful
in commercial transactions, as well as a measure of wealth
and prominence.

The color and luster of gold, and its resistance to
oxidation or tarnishing, makes it valuable for jewelry
and ornamentation of all kinds.

In early Biblical times, it was found in its native
purity in gravel deposits and riverbeds.

It was easily separated and recovered because of its
great weight.

In the book of Job, mining and refining operations
are mentioned.

In the construction of the Tabernacle, built by Moses,
Exodus describes using gold being beaten into plates
for overlay, sheets, and even thread used in garments
used by the high priest.

In The Most Holy, the Ark of the Covenant, was gold.

Solomon's Temple, extensively used gold in its décor.

As is done with several modern coins, even ancient
Israel evidently mixed an alloy with gold to harden it.

David set aside 100,000 talents of gold for Solomon's
Temple.

A talent is about 75 pounds!

The Temple's lamp-stands, utensils, forks, bowls,
pitchers, basins, cups, etc, were all made of gold
and silver, with a very few being made of copper.

The cherubs in the Most Holy, the alter of incense,
and even the entire inside of the house was overlaid
with gold.

By today's prices, the gold in Solomon's Temple would
probably be valued at $50 billion.

Solomon received large amounts of gold from the King
of Tyre (120 talents), the Queen of Sheba (120 talents),
and from taxes and revenues from his own merchant fleet.

First Kings says that the weight of gold that Solomon
received in one year, was 636 talents of gold.

The incredible amount of gold that was transacted and
used in David and Solomon's day is unbelievable…but
true.

When Israel captured cities, God commanded that they
not use the captured gold and silver for themselves.

Evidently the captured gold was re-refined to purify it.

The exception was Jericho.
Its gold and silver were turned over to the priests
and used for sanctuary use, according to Jos.

Gold was so valuable and cherished, that in the Bible,
gold is likened to wisdom, faith and knowledge.

Psalms says that God's laws and commandments are more
desirable than gold. (Psalms 19: 7-10, 119:72, 127)

Psalms also says that while gold has great value, it is
unable to give life.

Job says that no amount of gold can buy the wisdom that
comes from God.

The Apostle peter said ones' faith is of greater value
than gold, which can withstand fire, but be worn away
by other means.
No amount of gold can deliver one in the day of God's
anger.
(Zep 1:18) The point is that gold is the most valuable
thing one can possess, according to the Bible, other
than knowledge, faith, life, and righteousness.

Even in Biblical times then, TANGIBLE WEALTH, as opposed
to spiritual wealth, has always resided in gold, and
silver.

Throughout recorded history, gold and silver have been
actual wealth, as opposed to currencies made of various
things, such as mulberry leaves, bark, cigarettes in
WW II, sea shells, and other trivia, but mostly PAPER.

History, in all faiths and in all books of wisdom, and
various holy books, have all used gold and silver as the
ultimate form of tangible wealth.

In all races, and throughout all of recorded history,
gold and silver have been wealth, stability, and
irrefutable riches.

Today, as well as in past history, governments, kings,
rulers, and charlatans of all types, sizes, and sorts,
have used paper "instruments," as the sophisticates call them,
to hoodwink, steal, and defraud innocents.

Be they paper dollars, promises from hundreds of treasuries
throughout history and the world, or worthless bonds and stocks.

All such "instruments," are as good as the issuers of such,
and no more.

A piece of paper, with scribbling or a beautiful imprimatur,
is only as valuable as its issuer.

An IOU on a piece of scrap paper, given you by a trustworthy
individual, is far more valuable than a million pieces of
currency from a bankrupt kingdom or nation.

Promises from a used car salesman or government bureaucrat,
can be honest or dishonest; valuable or worthless.

The same is true with papers of all sorts.

A home is a tangible thing, which can be lived in, raise
kids in, sleep in, love in, and die in, but a piece of paper can
be destroyed with the flick of a match.

Tangible vs. fluff, in other words.

Leadville Johnny Brown, on a cold morning on Fryer Hill,
in Leadville, Colorado, burned a hundred thousand paper dollars,
when he started fire in his stove.

Molly had hidden it there so he wouldn't waste it.

Gold and silver won't burn, and if Molly Brown had hidden
an equal amount of gold and silver, Johnny couldn't
have started that fire.

It continually amazes me, that by far the majority of all
populations of all nations, throughout history, have
believed the empty promises of their elected officials
and leaders.

The common man, has always been fooled by those richer, smarter,
or better dressed than themselves.

They have gone along with the shallow plans and edicts,
and used their rulers monies to save.

They have sent their kids to their ruler's public schools, while
they sent their own to private ones.

The majority, has usually been wrong in all matters of state, it
seems.

Throughout history, this has been so, be it in Biblical or
modern times, the majority has usually been proven wrong
in their choices of rulers or savings devices.

When everyone does something, I usually do just
the opposite.

i look at all the new cars whizzing by my door, and
am appalled at the wealth poured into them.

They lose value with every mile.

New cars, T bills, bonds of any kind, and paper dollars,
are absolutely the worst thing one can do with
surplus assets.

If you are religious or an atheist, one can determine
from any holy book or history, but especially the Bible,
that gold and silver are true tangible, physical wealth,
which will not burn, and have never lost their
desirability, or ability to purchase things.

Gold and silver have always been a measuring rod to
determine value, and compare things with, or scads of
graphs and charts wouldn't be comparing how many
stocks one can buy with gold, or how many dollars
it takes to buy gold and silver.

When long lost ships are discovered beneath the oceans
or seas, their recovery isn't for their rudders or
deck planking, which long ago have disappeared.

It is for the gold, which after a thousand years beneath
the briny deep, is still brilliant, beautiful, and
untarnished.

History is not wrong.

i am always amused by the expression,

"When everything else fails, try reading the directions."

Us guys hate reading directions or asking for advice or
directions when we are lost.

Many consort with their advisers who have fancy offices
and nameplates on their doors, with diplomas neatly framed
on the walls.
When one is a "licensed financial advisor," one might
think that they might contact me occasionally, rather
than the continual in and out of stocks and bonds.
Not so.
One might think that the majority of people everywhere,
might notice that "Gold Medal Flour," or the Lone Ranger's horse
and bullets, weren't named for dollars or euros.

When an Olympic medal winner stands proudly to receive his
or her award, they aren't given hundred dollar bills.

They are given the Gold medal.
Yet the public continues to ignore what continually stares
them in the face, and even in the Bible's pages.
Gold and silver are true wealth, with which to protect yourself.

Well, the investments was
established as a place for family, friends,
acquaintances to be informed about world market
conditions and as a place to preserve their
capital by investing in the only form of
real money - Gold and Silver.

* Biblical records show that gold and silver are
the first and oldest form of money -
the only money that has not failed -
and a source of notable value -
for over 5000 years!

Can you name one fiat currency that has lasted -
through even a few centuries let alone -
a few millennia like gold and silver? -
No the real money is only -
Gold and Silver.

* Biblical reasons why real money and wealth -
is Gold and Silver -

* The Hebrew word for money is “keceph”, which
is translated to mean “Silver.”

* The King James Bible mentions -
Gold 417 times -
Silver 320 times -
and money -
which is mentioned 140 times -
refers to -
Silver and Gold.

Not once does it mention a paper currency!

* Gold and silver are mentioned all through
the bible as real wealth, even through -
the end of Revelation.

* From Genesis to Revelation -
gold and silver are the only God-ordained monetary
assets that will maintain their purchasing power
until the day of the Lord’s wrath.

Unless the United States gets all of its economic
house in order ? -
Gold will become the basic real money again -
(which Gold has been for 1000's of years)

and national currencies will only be money -
if backed by - Gold.

With the exception only of the periods of -

- The Great Gold Standard -

practically all governments of history -

have used their exclusive power to issue fiat money -

to defraud with totalitarian bureaucratic powers
rob, plunder and to make slaves -
of most the people.
