WHY GOD'S MONEY IS GOING TO WIN OUT IN THE END

George Offerman

There are those who have yet to ‘get it’ about the times and situations we are living in, and want to continue to put faith in the fiat currency that is used world wide. Never in the history of the world has every nation used paper money and not God’s money, and this is the ultimate set up for the largest opportunity in world history to transfer wealth to those who understand and obey the Word of God. No matter how much one studies the Bible; they will NEVER find any of God’s references to money as being paper script. God’s references about money are ALWAYS GOLD AND SILVER.

For one to grasp the ‘dollar amount’ I am going to give silver at the end of this posting, they first must make a paradigm shift in their head. This is similar to an adult learning a second language: they want to convert the new language to their native language in their head, and thus, it takes much longer than a child, who ‘rolls with the punches’ and is babbling fluently in a new language in about 2 weeks. So I will be referring to silver by the ounce, not by denomination like we are used to. But before that, there needs to be an understanding of what money is.

Money’s primary purpose is as a medium of exchange, in which it can be used to buy or exchange one item for another between two individuals who agree on the value of the items. Money must be divisible, durable, portable, limited in supply, a stable unit of account and fungible, and mostly a stable medium of storage over time. If we look at modern currency, it has some of these elements, but it fails in the most important aspects that it is unlimited through printing and as a result inflation is killing its ability to be a stable medium of storage for wealth over time. For all practical purposes, a $100 note is no different than a $1 note, and these pieces of paper do not have any intrinsic value. By printing more of these ‘notes’, the notes in circulation become worth less, and it is this hidden tax, called inflation, that ultimately causes the problems we are experiencing at this time.

Gold and silver, however, are very limited and have great intrinsic value. These precious metals must be discovered, mined, refined and minted before they can be circulated, and this is a process that involved a great deal of labor. An FRN $100 face value is created for $.04 and is limited only by the number of trees that can be cut down and processed into paper. When money is limited, there is no inflation, and the greatest aspect of money, holding its value to be passed on, is left intact. If one were to bury 100 oz of silver coins, and a $100 FRN, and these were dug up in 100 years, the silver would minimally have maintained its value, while the $100 FRN would end up in a museum as an ‘artifact’. There can be no comparison in a material that is rare and takes a great deal of effort to obtain, versus something that can be printed at will, and have zeros added to it by proclamation. There is no question we are at a turning point in our economic history and if one wants to have any chance of surviving intact, they’d better look at God’s money as part of the solution.

Why are the precious metals going up now? Because people around the world, no matter what religion, political affiliation or level of education know that gold and silver are money, and understand it is the safest place to be when all other forms of money fail. This was instilled by God, and all of the ‘sophisticated thinking’ will never drive this out of man. Good luck to the incompetent, inbred idiots known as the money powers, as they try to force their toilet paper down the throats of the people. Too many have woken up to the fact that this multi colored monopoly paper is worthless, and have been exchanging it for the real thing, and causing a shortage in the metals. Good luck holding the price down, you idiots.

Now, to the piece in this posting most want to see. I have long held these prices in my head, and have told a few people privately where I think the prices should be, and where they may possibly go. To fully understand the quotes I will soon give, will require a paradigm shift. One must think of money as a tangible asset, mainly coinage, and that it is the coinage in exchange for goods that is the main engine of commerce. To try to convert this into dollars all of the time will result in headaches, but also numbers so large that they will seem to be out of reality as we know it. The prices I will be quoting are coming from simple math equations and historical and Biblical data.

Where should the price be today? History shows that for much of the existence of our country, good daily wages for skilled labor was 1 ounce of silver (1 dollar). If we look at today’s average wage (source: U.S. Department of Labor) we come out with two numbers. The median income in America, including all part time and seasonal workers comes out to $16.27 per hour or $130.20 per 8 hour day. Excluding part time and seasonal, this increases to $20.20 per hour or $161.60 per 8 hour day. If we look at the nominal high of silver in 1980 at $50, and consider the real rate of inflation using John Williams www.shadowstats.com site, we come up with $178.00. So, starting with the most conservative of these numbers (and remember 1 oz of silver per day was for skilled labor) we come up with a minimal price per ounce in 2010 dollars of $130.20, to a maximum of $178.00 for inflation adjusted prices.

If those numbers are eye popping, these will truly get your attention. If we go by much of the world history, and Biblical times, the average pay per day was a denarius, which most historians and Biblical scholars agree was about a tenth of an ounce of silver. We also know from Revelation that a day’s wages again will be a denarius. So, we know that in the past, and in the future a day’s wages stayed the same. If one ponders this, it shows: 0% inflation!!!!!! That is truly in the realm of what God expects and what ought to be the way thing are now.

So using these numbers, we then multiply all of the above numbers by 10, to come up with a range between $1302.00 and $1780.00 per ounce. And this is in 2010 dollars. Considering that most ‘hot commodities’ enter what is called a bubble, and the most recent bubbles have ‘overshot’ the real values (such as homes 3-4 years ago) we can multiply these numbers by 2-3, or come up with a range between $2604.00- $3906.00 on the low range to $3560.00 - $5340.00 on the high range. One needs to study the history of money, and precious metals to begin to understand the potential in them. The price of precious metals will continue to rise because they are undervalued and are being attacked from all angles by the money powers.

The ultimate reason the precious metals will rise to unbelievable heights is because God, the creator of all things, has mandated it. The incompetent, inbred idiots know as the money powers cannot mock God, and ‘trash’ his money without severe consequences. These idiots soon will pay this price, and those smart enough to get on this train are going for a ride of a lifetime.

RENDER UNTO CAESAR

George Offerman

I was on Jason Hommel’s site silverstockreport.com reading one of his latest entries titled “Give to Caesar: Give to God” posted on July 28th and the subsequent reader’s response posted on August 6th. In this particular posting, Mr. Hommel does a fairly detailed Bible study on the question of kings, government, their roles in our lives and what we are morally obliged to do, concerning the subject of whether we are morally obligated to pay taxes or not. (I recommend all the readers check this out for themselves). Mr. Hommel raises many valid points about the role of government in general, and the role of our government in the United States in particular, and what our role as Christians ought to be.

Mr. Hommel seems to answer many of the mainstream churches allegations that as Christians we are ‘obligated’ to submit to authority and the churches identify the authority as our current government. This is based upon the Romans 13 discourse about proper behavior and obligations, but Paul in this particular series of passages, is referring to Godly authority, and is careful to not use the term ‘government’. Paul would not contradict, and has not contradicted any of the scriptures which clearly state that we are to ‘discern’ the nature of the law, and are obligated to disobey man made laws that violate God’s law.

How is it that the churches, who are all exempt from paying taxes with their 501 c 3 status, can preach to us about our need to pay taxes? If the churches are tax exempt because they represent God, then shouldn’t we, by extension be exempt as well? It would seem by the way that most of the churches are acting (including the Catholic Church and the USCCB) they are more in line with the state’s party line than that of God. The Church is highly motivated to not anger the state or to contradict their policies, regardless of how ungodly, due to losing this coveted status. This violated the whole purpose of their existence, which is to preach the unvarnished Gospel to a lost world.

Just because the Church has sold out on its beliefs, does not give the believer the right or obligation to sell out on the beliefs and tenets of the faith. The Church is not taking their proper role of moral leader in any fashion that demonstrates they actually believe in the Gospel message. This makes them no different than the misguided and corrupt state we live in, and they are unwilling and unable to discern truth from the lies, and want to operate in ‘peace and harmony’ with the sate (read tolerance and collusion). If we can choose to forgo tithing to unworthy organizations like the church, we sure have the moral and Biblical authority to deny money to a godless state.

Not paying taxes is one of the most ‘horrendous’ crimes against the state a citizen can commit. Look at the severity of the law, and one can only conclude that killing a legalized child killer is the only thing worse a citizen can do. The consequences for not paying taxes are severe, and the only way this can work as an effective strategy for the pro life movement, is to have large numbers, and have the pro life movement as a whole (outside of the Churches purview) adopt this and support this platform in totality. It is a strategy that should be very seriously considered, and it will take incredible dedication to follow through on this. I do believe it will reap dividends that we cannot even begin to imagine, but courage it will take.

I am not there yet in my courage to do this, but it is an eventual goal of mine. I do fear judgment day, and having the Father tell me that convenience and this life’s desires got in the way of saving his children. We all need to do a gut check and decide what doing little for the children is really worth. The more I see of the destruction of all that is good in this country, the more I believe the price we will pay for doing nothing is greater than even jail. We shall soon see if this is true or not.

FAULTY PROPHESY

George Offerman

Jason Hommel recently reported that Jack Van Impe has ‘rethought’ his interpretation of the beast in Revelation. Evidently, the earlier interpretation that the 10 horned beast represented the resurrected “Roman empire” was disqualified after the EU expanded to 14 nations. Reverend Van Impe has come to the conclusion after ‘re thinking’ this, that a one world government would better describe the beast.

I am very happy to see that Reverend Van Impe has made it into this camp, but what is disturbing, again, is the faulty hermeneutics used by many expositors, that lead to faulty conclusions, and ultimately, can disenchant the faithful. It seems that’s why the warnings in revelation about adding or changing the meanings are so strong:

For I testify to every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book:

Revelation 22:18

The problem with making such interpretations is that it makes the ‘fulfillment’ contingent upon the interpreter and his knowledge. When reading the Bible and using proper hermeneutics, the conclusions should be consistent, as gravity is when dropping an object. The conclusions I have been writing about are held by a great many people, and do not need my approval or interpretation, as God is not dependent on any one of us to do his will or get the word out.

The question most pertinent is “How do you know your interpretation is correct?” I tend to answer the question in this way: It is not my interpretation that is the issue; it is the hermeneutical process that is the issue. The Bible is 1/3 prophesy, and luckily for us, the majority of prophesy is fulfilled. With the fulfillment of prophesy, we can ascertain the methodology of fulfillment (hermeneutics) and apply this to unfulfilled prophesy. For instance, God is unchangeable, and his laws are forever. So when someone makes a claim such as: “That’s the old way of looking at it, we are in a new age with different rules” they are in error due to the fact they are contradicting a tenet of God.

Using this same example, one then could conclude accurately, that if God condemns the murder of the innocent, then we are morally obligated to defend the innocent, and are accountable to God if we choose to not act on what we know to be true. We are taking principles that are as sure as gravity and successfully applying them to a situation. This then will result in accurately seeing the conclusion of the issue, or ‘looking into the future’. Because God’s word is conveyed in the simplest of terms, it does not take a ‘doctor’ of the church or others, to apply the basic tenets of the Bible to everyday life.

In the case of prophesy, the Bible overwhelmingly demonstrates that God fulfills what he promises EXACTLY as he predicts, and with precise timing. Jesus died at the same moment the paschal lamb was sacrificed in the temple, thus fulfilling to the moment, Christ’s role as ‘the Lamb of God’. There is no ambiguity or question about this, as it is a matter of historical record, as well as recorded in the Gospels. As in this example (along with many others), God is very intricate in following the details of his prophecies, and leaves nothing to chance. So, when one makes claims to have had a ‘prophecy’ or seems to come up with a differing account of revelation, total fulfillment is the criteria for it to be from God.

Now, there is a distinct difference between application of God’s laws, and using proper hermeneutics to interpret scripture, versus a direct revelation from God, or making claims to have the ‘inside track’ to a particular interpretation. Like the example of gravity, one can successfully predict the outcome of someone jumping off a building (hitting the ground at a high rate of speed), but cannot predict whether the person would die, or when they will do it. Likewise, understanding Revelation and its 14 events can be clearly understood by properly studying and following proper hermeneutics, but one cannot predict when it will start or many of the nuances of the trumpets and bowls.

Following hermeneutically sound interpretations of scripture will result in an ‘anti’ sensationalist view of the scripture. When seeing that prophetic events happen in the order written, in the timeframe given, and fulfilled as written, there is no need to speculate, or ‘sensationalize’ the events. It may take the fun and excitement out of prophesying, but the purpose of prophecy is to warn and prepare believers for God’s actions. If there is too much speculation and unfulfilled ‘prophesy’ then people’s faith can be shaken, and they will not be prepared when the ‘real deal’ takes place.

Revelation will occur, and will happen the way it is written, and in the order it is written. When this will happen is anyone’s guess, but one needs to understand the basics of the prophesy, and what to do to prepare oneself for such events. I have known too many people who put their lives on hold, believing Revelation was imminent, only to have missed out on many wonderful opportunities in life, and some had become bitter as a result. God does not desire for us to become bitter and disenchanted over his word, and worrying about matters that may not apply to our life span.

I constantly tell people I hope Revelation does not happen in my life time, and I try to live the most optimistic life possible. However, I also believe one cannot ignore the times we are in, the ‘quickening’ of world events and some sinister happenings that will need some sort of resolution, no matter where we happen to be in the prophetic timeline. This is why it is so important to be the ‘hands and feet” of God and to continue the good fight until Jesus comes again, or until death takes us to him.
