Your silver and gold will be of no use to you in
that day of the Lord's wrath. You cannot ransom
yourselves with it. For the whole land will be de-
voured by the fire of his jealousy.
(Zephaniah 1:18 LB)
Make no provision to trust in silver or gold. God will
not protect those who trust in it. Silver and gold will not
be a shelter in the storm. It will lose its value. It will be
cast into the streets as worthless. It is a curse, and a
man will one day give away all his caches of gold and
silver for bread and water.
The man who puts his confidence in gold or silver
cannot put his confidence in God. It is not wise to
hoard gold! It is not prudent! It is not acceptable to
God. Never in all history has gold been of any value in
the day of crisis or judgment. The true child of God
must not rely on money, materialism, gold, silver, jew-
els, or investments.
Therefore, 0 my people, though you are such
wicked rebels, come, return to God. I know the
glorious day will come when every one of you will
throw away his golden idols and silver images—
which in your sinfulness you have made.
(Isaiah 31:6,7 LB)
Let those who own gold and silver, and those who
hold investments, become totally detached from them.
Lay them on the altar of God and be ready to lose it all
when judgment comes. Houses, lands, investments—
these are all acceptable to God. He, in His wisdom, will
guide and protect all the interests of those who yield
them over to God in their hearts, using these things but
not trusting in them.
They shall cast their Over in the streets, and
their gold shall be removed: their silver and their
gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of
