Throughout this site I mention why I believe gold and silver are good investments, and now believe they are even more so as the banking system is currently imploding. (Note: I’m not in any way, shape, or form giving investment advice.)
Here is what the Word of God says about gold and silver within the book of Revelation:
“I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”
The English Standard Version (ESV) of Revelation 6:6 mentions Denarius within the third seal:
Revelation 6:6
English Standard Version
“And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine!'”
At least more than one version of the Bible mentions denarius. Is this literally an ancient Roman silver coin or does it symbolize a currency that is used to control people much like how the Roman government used denarius back in the day to control people?
Revelation 17:4
New International Version
“The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.”
Revelation 18:12
New International Version
“…cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble;”
Another verse:
“I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.”
