Trusting God's Life Boat

I'm sure many of you have heard the joke-parable of a man on his rooftop during a flood. As the floodwaters were rising, first, a man in a dingy came by and said, "get in", and the man on the roof replied, "No Thanks, I'm praying and waiting on the Lord." Next, a lifeguard came by, and again, the man refused the help, saying he was waiting on the Lord. Finally, even a helicopter was refused with the same excuse, he was waiting on the Lord. After dying in the floodwaters, and getting to heaven, the man asks God, "Why didn't you save me?" God replies, "I sent you the dingy, the lifeguard and helicopter, what did you expect?"

Soon, many people are going to be asking God a similar question. "God, I trusted you to protect my finances by living a good life, I avoided alcohol, and other sins, I've gone to Church daily, and prayed daily, gave to charities, gave to many Pastors, and been an overall good Christian, so how could I have lost 90-100% of my savings which I pledged to support the growth of the Kingdom of God?"

And God will have to reply, "I gave you silver, gold, platinum and palladium. But you didn't want them. Instead, you bought paper promises from anonymous men in bankrupt institutions who have a stated goal to support the fraud of the paper dollar which is not even an unjust weight and measure but a failure to pay any measure at all, so what did you expect?"

Well, maybe God won't say all of that exactly, but I would think he would say something very similar, and as a student of the Bible, that's what I hear him saying to me. Whether you can hear a similar message or not, is, of course, highly debatable, which is why most people now are not listening to the instructions and provisions of God, which is my point.

My friends and readers, the 85,000 of you on this email list have about $8 billion in assets, combined. Well, maybe only $4 billion now, after the recent asset crash.

Over the next year, if we meet our sales expectations, and turn around times, in terms of ounces of silver, then, at $10/oz., we'll sell only $20 million of "asset protection" physical silver. That's $0.02 billion for the $4 billion needing protection. Sorry, but if silver is the lifeboat we are offering, then our boats are far more limited than the limited lifeboats available for the passengers on the Titanic.

Sincerely,
