Gold is the first, and most every now and again said metal in the Bible, in Genesis 2:11. From the beginning, it has been a honorable metal, profoundly esteemed for its weight, irregularity, sturdy non-tarnishing luster, shimmering magnificence, pliability, and flexibility. Various Old Testament Hebrew terms allude 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 as a rule.
Gold's irregularity, all through history, and even in Biblical times, gave it a money related esteem, which made it useful in business transactions, as well as a measure of riches and noticeable quality. The shading and luster of gold, and its resistance to oxidation or tarnishing, makes it important for gems and ornamentation of assorted types. In early Biblical times, it was found in its local immaculateness in rock deposits and riverbeds. It was easily separated and recuperated because of its extraordinary weight. In the book of Job (28:1,2,6) mining and refining operations are said.
In the construction of the Tabernacle, worked by Moses, Exodus 25, 30, 37, and 39 describes using gold being beaten into plates for overlay, sheets, and even string used in garments used by the esteemed priest. In The Most Holy, the Ark of the Covenant, was gold.
Solomon's Temple, extensively used gold in its d飯r. As is finished with several advanced coins, even old Israel obviously blended an amalgam with gold to solidify it. (I kings10:16). David set aside 100,000 talents of gold for Solomon's Temple. An ability is around 75 pounds! The Temple's light stands, utensils, forks, bowls, pitchers, basins, cups, and so forth, were altogether made of gold and silver, with a not very many being made of copper. The cherubs in the Most Holy, the modify of incense, and even the whole inside of the house was overlaid with gold. By the present prices, the gold in Solomon's Temple would presumably be esteemed at $50 billion.
Solomon got a lot of gold from the King of Tire (120 talents), the Queen of Sheba (120 talents), and from taxes and revenues from his own vendor armada. First Kings says that the heaviness of gold that Solomon got in one year, was 636 talents of gold. The mind boggling measure of gold that was transacted and used in David and Solomon's day is incredible… yet obvious.
At the point when Israel caught cities, God directed that they not use the caught gold and silver for themselves. Obviously the caught gold was re-refined to cleanse it. The special case was Jericho. Its gold and silver were swung over to the priests and used for sanctuary use, as indicated by Jos. 6:17-19, 24.
Gold was so profitable and cherished, that in the Bible, gold is compared to wisdom, confidence and information. 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 incredible esteem, it can't give life. (Psalms 49: 6-8) Job says that no measure of gold can purchase the wisdom that comes from God. (Employment 28: 12, 15-17,28) The Apostle diminish said ones' confidence is of more prominent incentive than gold, which can withstand terminate, yet be worn away by different means. (I Peter 1:6,7) No measure of gold can convey one in the day of God's outrage. (Zep 1:18) The fact of the matter is that gold is the most profitable thing one can possess, as indicated by the Bible, other than information, confidence, life, and righteousness.
In Biblical times at that point, TANGIBLE WEALTH, as opposed to spiritual riches, has always resided in gold, and silver. All through written history, gold and silver have been real riches, as opposed to currencies made of various things, such as mulberry leaves, bark, cigarettes in WW II, sea shells, and other random data, however mostly PAPER. History, in all faiths and in all books of wisdom, and various heavenly books, have all used gold and silver as a definitive type of substantial riches. In all races, and all through all of written history, gold and silver have been riches, stability, and obvious riches, now we have STEEM Which is still creating a revolution in the world today by wiping out poverty and indebtedness thus fostering FREEDOM for LIFE!

Thanks team!
Steem is as good as gold when storing wealth.
Nice write up @tikhub
When Chinese and Russian governments start buying up Steem we might agree with you Dyz7. Until then we will be adding much more gold and silver to the portfolio than Steem. But we love the enthusiasm.

Noted.
Thanks @communitynews
Hey Apostle Tikhub, been a while I read from you. There is so much details in this awesome writeup of yours. Gold has always been valuable from time immemorial. Life itself is like gold, it should be valued. Gold is not something we can make, so is life. We should do well to show that we value it. Steem Silver Gold is also an awesome movement.
Gold has always been the most precious metal from the old testament days to present. While most of us can't possess Gold, we possess qualities with the same value as Gold;wisdom, information, love andconfidence.
Steem is revolutionising the world one steemian at a time, the Crusade for freedom is fostering Financial and spiritual freedom.
Great article!!
Giving is a spiritual issue and in fact, a relational issue with God. In order to truly yield to God’s ownership of our possessions, we must evaluate carefully what may be the most telling evidence of our stewardship – the part we give. Just as we decide on what we spend on an appliance or how much we will put in a savings or retirement account, we must also have to decide how much money we will give.
Becuase of its limited aource i believe thats what made it so preciouse and have been held in high esteem but as of today many things have come to replace that calue of which the gold have as of then,the invention of crypto currency is changing the phase i beliebe soonee or later steem will be at the top to be compared to silver and gold itself,@ apostle tikhub ist been a while hope all is moving fine?thank so much for the well detailed writeup.
Gold has always been the wishes of both the dead and the living as it never fades even for a long time. It is abundant on earth and has abundant likes. We should always understand that it is of God that we wear these things but prioritizing it is the problem.
Gold in relations to present day is used all for its value.. If you observe every young guy wants to where a gold neckline or finger ring.. Meanwhile when it's time to sew to the building of a church or development of a church as was done in the old, they are no where
