Should Adventists Invest In Gold, Silver

Precious Metals and Gems?

his idols of gold, which they made [each one] for himself to worship, to the

[AdventistHotIssues] Lindsey Williams - 2012
Dear Brother Ron,
I have watched the link about Lindsey Williams and his predictions about the year
2012 on your site: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA4Pu7af58c)
and he urges the people that in order to prevent heartache in the future (end
of 2012) when the dollar will be worthless, the people needs to buy gold and
silver now. Should we heed his advice?
Blessings,

Ron responds:
Dear friend,
Thank you for your question which I am sure
looms in the mind of many folk, including Seventh-day Adventists. I have posted Lindsey Williams’ videos for
whatever help they might be in discovering the plans of the elitists, because
he claims they have told him much about what they plan to do, but I certainly
do not believe everything he and/or they say. For example, you might have
noticed how he mentions we can live prosperously under the New World Order.
That is a satanic lie as far as it references any true Christian at that time.
Either Lindsey Williams does not understand
the Mark of the Beast, and/or he does not agree with the SDA position on it. He
will most likely take the Mark to live prosperously for a time. But all who
take it will get the sores that will not heal, which are part of the first
plague. And, of course, they lose eternal life for their choice of temporal
prosperity. Where does the Bible say Christians can live prosperously during
the little and great time of trouble? Only those who take the mark will be
flattered by the beast power for a short time, and then even the whore’s
brothel (the Vatican) is burned by the New World Order banker elitists, who
constitute the beast the whore is riding upon in Revelation 17.
Let’s
reason this issue out. If the Bible says that man will be regulated to the
point he cannot buy or sell lest he take the mark of the beast, a very
foolproof means of control will have to be instituted to prevent the trading (barter) of gold and silver and
other commodities on a private level.
That “foolproof” means of control will most likely consist of outlawing
gold, silver and any precious gem or metal and making it a death penalty to
deal in such so that folk will not risk their lives by being disobedient to the
law of the land. A death penalty will also need to be legislated to prevent BARTER in any other commodity.
This is why the 144,000 will be totally dependent upon God.
There
could be a very short window of time that some buyers of gold will be able to
trade in their gold for credit, but the Lord has impressed me that there is not
enough gold and silver in the world to honor all the purchases of these
commodities which have occurred ON PAPER. Some would come up on the short end
of the stick, and that would most likely be those who refuse to take the mark
of the beast. Those who will agree to take the mark might be credited for some
of their holdings.
Trade in
the precious metals and gems has become a huge arena for speculation as the
world bankers can and do regulate rises and falls in the value of these items
and at times great losses thereby accrue to investors in these items. I know of
an SDA who invested in gold and silver awhile back. I warned him what Ellen
White said about speculation, and he mockingly retorted that “everything is
speculation.” In other words Ellen White did not know what she was talking
about in all she said about speculation! And this man claims to be giving the
last message via the teaching of God’s love and that He does not kill anyone.
He has used some of his increases in these commodities to purchase houses and
land, but it will be interesting to see if the Lord takes care of him in the
time of trouble considering his mocking of Ellen White on speculation.
Some have
speculated that tools would be a better item to buy and sell later. But what if
the government makes it a death penalty to barter? The Bible says that family
members even, will be betraying one another to save their own heads. Do you
think non-family folk will risk their lives to trade (barter) with ANYONE?
Non-Availability of Gold and Silver
I have
heard that it is now almost impossible to buy gold and silver that you can take
possession of and be able to rely on its
purity. Banks first do an assay of any gold
and silver they redeem currency for. They charge a fee for this as well. It may
well be a provision of God that gold and silver is now difficult to purchase!
Know one thing: God will protect and feed those who are obedient and faithful
to him. That is all that matters. If you are not obedient and fully serving Him
out of a motive of love for what Jesus did for us, you will perish. This is the best advice I am authorized to give. Lindsay
Williams proposes to instruct you as to how to protect your dinner table, but
only God can do that and there are conditions for receiving that assurance,
that promise. Personally, I have not an ounce of gold or silver. I realize that
it is easier for some to rely on the purchase of gold and silver than
sacrificing to obey God, but this decision is personal to each one of us.
Thanks be to God, there is no shortage of supply on
the gold He counsels us to buy in Revelation 3, message to Laodicea! And it is
meted out on a non-biased, non-prejudicial basis, and FREE TO ALL who desire
it! All Praise be to You Jesus, Our Mighty God and Saviour!
Just as
it’s harder for a rich man to enter heaven, so it would be harder for a man
standing on a reliance upon gold, silver and/or precious gems to rely totally
on God by self-sacrificing love for, and faith in Him. Ellen White said that
Christ could have come in 1884 and 1888. Did she ever advise the purchase of
gold and silver for any time of trouble that would have had to accompany either
of those comings of Christ?
Consider
that Lindsey Williams does not know of the Loud Cry. We would have to have gas
and transportation and sustenance in order to give that cry. Were it necessary
to stash gold and silver, surely God Himself would not have left us without
that knowledge! And that would include God’s instruction of such via the Spirit
of Prophecy. But to the contrary, God says that man will cast
his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made [each one] for
himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;. So the big question is: DO
YOU BELIEVE GOD?
The only
gold God tells us to purchase is described in Revelation 3. That would be the
gold of self-sacrificing faith in, and love for Christ, tried in the fire of
obedience. You can gain an entire world of gold and silver, yet lose temporal
and eternal life for lack of the gold we are instructed to buy.
*Global Meltdown: Investors Are Dumping Nearly Everything [including Gold] http://www.cnbc.com/id/44626413
The
world bank sold huge sums of gold to Arabic countries and then greatly reduced
the price and bought back the gold from them at the reduced price. That same
thing could occur with the masses later.
I do
consider it wise to store a little food ahead for crises other than the great
time of trouble. During the great time of trouble, those who go through that
time, the 144,000, will be totally dependent upon God for their next morsel of
food and protection from the seven last plagues and other pestilences.
Financially,
Ellen White did encourage savings. The best we can do is to maintain a
guaranteed savings account in a reputable national bank. You will make little
interest, but such an account is supposed to be guaranteed to return what you
have in that account. This is the wisest course while we can buy and sell
without taking the Mark. Anything else is speculation. I have outlined in my
end-time vision of what to do and when to do it, exactly when we should sell
all and put our money into books and other witnessing materials.
