Silver: What Will You Do When The Money Fails?

NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISOR

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ to the Saints of God. I have felt impressed to write this word about silver. I have been involved in the buying and selling of precious metals (on a personal and private level) for around 34 years now. Back around 1992 I began purchasing gold and silver coins, rounds and bars from two different coin dealers who sold at flea markets in my area.

The very first purchase I made was a roll of 20 1992 Silver Eagles. I still have them. The total price that I paid for all 20 was $115.00 and that was with sales tax and a premium above the spot price all included in the purchase. Each one of those Silver Eagles are now selling for around $94.05 PER COIN.

So the tube of 20 Eagles that I paid $115.00 in 1992 is now valued at approx.$1881.00 now in 2026. Someone might say:”Wow! …. you have really made some money!)  NO…ACTUALLY I HAVEN’T.  These silver coins have merely kept up with inflation. This is just an illustration to show you how much value the U.S.Dollar has lost since 1992. It’s not so much that the price of silver has gone UP….it’s that the dollar has lost value and gone DOWN.

Before I go any further speaking of precious metals, I want to deal with some specific Bible verse prophecies. It is utterly astonishing to me see how many dumbed-down, so called Christians will use Bible verses such as Ezekiel 7:19 to not purchase precious metals. (Most all who do this are snared in the pre-trib rapture error) Ezekiel 7:19 states:

“They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord”

They will also use Isaiah 2:20 which states:

“In that day a man shall 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 again, exactly what “day” are we speaking about? Go backwards eight verses to Isaiah 2:12 and we see that the day being spoken of is “The day of the Lord of hosts”

Ezekiel 7:19 and Isaiah 2:20 are both speaking about the same “DAY”…and that “DAY” is the day that Christ returns. And how exactly does Christ return? Answer: He returns “In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Thes.1:8) No one likes to talk about the fire that comes at the second coming of Christ anymore, do they?

The Day of the Lord is absolutely positively NOT the time of tribulation. (and the tribulation is not 7 years, it is 42 months in length) This day that is spoken of is a SINGULAR DAY, and a SINGULAR EVENT….and on that day nothing will be of any value. Your diploma, your house, your stocks & bonds, your bank accounts, your Harley Davidson, your boat, your property at the lake, your gold, silver….EVERYTHING is going burn up, including all of the wicked. This is the wrath of God that we saved Christians are NOT appointed to. Read and STUDY 1Thes.4:17.

Those of us that are alive and remain when this particular SINGULAR DAY happens will rise up “To meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thes.4:17) WE DO NOT GO TO HEAVEN!  (no where in 1 Thes.4:17 do read of the saints of God going to heaven in this verse as the pre-trib rapture lie falsely teaches) It’s not there, is it? I go by what the word of God states, not what the sin-infested spiritual whorehouses of the modern church falsely teach.

WE (the saved) RISE UP….WE MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR, (to escape the fire) AND THEN WE COME RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE EARTH. The only reason that we rise up into the air to meet Jesus, is to escape the flaming fire (the wrath of God) being poured out upon the earth. And after the destruction of fire from God upon the earth, we come right back down to earth with the Lord, and we: “Shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the DAY that I shall do this, saith the lord of hosts” (Malachi 4:3)

Gold and silver will NOT be thrown in the streets and become valueless during the time of great tribulation! (If you own silver and gold in the coming tribulation, and you feel the urge to throw your gold and silver into the street, please come and throw it into MY street) It will only become of no value on the day that Christ returns, that’s when EVERYTHING burns. Nothing will be of any value on that day, except those who have faith. TRUE FAITH WILL NOT BURN.

These same dumbed-down Christians that love to quote the two verses I listed above, almost act as if it was SATAN who created gold and silver!. It was GOD who made the gold, and it was GOD who made the silver. And anything that God creates is good. (Haggai 2:8) “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine saith the Lord of hosts” God doesn’t own bad things, he owns and creates good things. It is wicked human beings who covet silver and gold, lust for it, and make idols of it. It is not a sin to own gold or silver!!

“Abraham was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold” (Gen. 13:2) Gold and silver are rare, it cannot be found just anywhere. It takes time and hard honest labor to get it out of the ground, refine it, mold and mint it into coinage, bars and rounds. That’s what makes it valuable, its rarity and the fact that it takes hard labor to produce it.

It has intrinsic value, and it has no counter-party risk. It cannot go bankrupt, and it is the ultimate form of money! It takes minimal labor to press a button and create a hundred dollar bill with a printing press. That’s why the dollar will collapse…they are created out of thin air, and are backed by nothing. Gold and silver back themselves!

Gold and silver was Biblical Money, and it has been used as money for over 5000 years. It is also Constitutional Money. All U.S.coinage minted up until 1964  and earlier contain 90% pure silver. (the other 10% contains copper for durability) A U.S. silver dime minted prior to 1965 contains 0.0723 oz. of silver. A quarter minted prior to 1965 contains 0.1808 oz. of silver. A half dollar minted prior to 1965 contains 0.3619 oz. of silver. The old Morgan Silver Dollars, and old Peace Silver Dollars contain 0.7734 oz. of silver.

I am not a registered stock broker, nor do I have any degrees as financial advisor. I am a simple Christian man, who by God’s grace, saw these days coming well over 30 years ago. In 2019 I traded all of the gold that I had, and exchanged it for silver, because I sensed that gold was going to skyrocket beyond the average persons ability to afford it. It has done EXACTLY as I thought it would do. (How many of you have an extra $4700.00 laying around to buy just ONE American Eagle one oz.gold coin?)

But on the other hand, there are many that can afford a one oz. American Silver Eagle selling for around $93.55 or so. Here’s my free brotherly advice for you to take to the Lord in prayer. If you have not YET purchased canned goods, 20 pound bags of rice, beans, stored water, water filters, wool blankets, sleeping bags, wool socks, a good tent, first aid supplies, firearms and ammunition (for personal home defense) tarps, good knives, boots/laces, coveralls, etc, etc., etc., then DO NOT BUY SILVER!…BUY THESE TYPE OF ITEMS FIRST!

After you have prepared in this way, then any spare money can be converted into silver and fractional gold coins, f you prefer them. What kind of silver to purchase is a matter of personal preference. There are bars and silver rounds that are produced by private mints. There are American Silver Eagles minted by the United States Mint. (there is a premium added to the cost of these coins because of the guaranteed purity and reputation of the U.S. Government)  There is also actual U.S. coinage of dimes, quarters, halves, and old silver dollars minted up until 1964, that I spoke of earlier. (any of these type of coins with a date prior to 1965 are 90% silver) In the coin business they refer to these type of coins as “SCRAP SILVER”

If I was new to all of this, and I did not own any silver at all, then this is personally what I would purchase first… and that would be: SCRAP SILVER. Secondly I would purchase 1 oz. American Silver Eagles, because the premiums are still very reasonable on these coins. I fully expect that to change very soon. (during covid 19, I saw premiums on these coins of up to 50% on the buy side, and to those who were selling these coins, (American Silver Eagles) I remember some dealers paying up to $10.00 over the actual spot price per coin). I expect premiums later this year to exceed the premiums during covid. Perhaps even FAR exceeding them, because of the ongoing silver shortage worldwide.

Only buy from reputable coin dealers, and make an effort to establish a friendly relationship with a local coin shop. Since silver is now rising fast, there will for sure be dishonest people selling counterfeit silver coins on the internet, and at flea markets, etc. Educate yourself to spot fakes, and stay away from 100oz. bars. Three people I would recommend you look up and listen to for silver and gold investment advice are: David Morgan, Bill Holter, and Peter Schiff.

Although silver has risen dramatically here lately, it is still not too late to buy.  J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, UBS and the COMEX Gold and Silver exchange have been rigging the gold and silver markets for several decades, by keeping the prices artificially low. What they have done is illegal, and they have screwed me out of multiple tens of thousands of dollars, due to their wicked abomination of unjust weight and measures. (Read Prov. 20:10) That is now nearly over, and the true honest price is starting to take place.

In order for silver to get back to its high of $50.00 per oz. back in 1980, if adjusted for inflation, it would need to rise up to $175.00 to $200.00 per oz.  Several days ago Bank of America stated that silver could go from $135.00 to $309.00 per oz. later this year. Yes, there will be dramatic pullbacks, (nothing goes straight up forever) but these are buying opportunities when you see silver prices down. Be warned though, silver is much more volatile than gold! Dollar cost averaging is a prudent way for you to buy into silver. That way you buy less when it is higher, and more when it is lower. That’s how I did it. I bought from 1992 up until 2019, buying once or twice a month as I was able.

As I stated the silver price is still low when adjusted for inflation. It would need to more than double from where it is now, just to equal (adjusted for inflation) its peak price of $50.00 per oz. in 1980. Gold and silver are economic barometers that are screaming at the top of their lungs that war and economic uncertainty are fast approaching. When the war with Russia/China comes, the U.S. will declare emergency measures, and I personally expect a full nationwide lock-down of all banking institutions.

We could soon go to bed one night, and wake up the next morning to news that an emergency has been declared, and the value of the U.S. Dollar has been cut by more than 50% This is a very real possibility that you need to consider.

***NOTE*** (This is my main reason of writing this. Yes, it is possible to make money with gold and silver, but that should NOT be the reason that motivates you to purchase them. You purchase and hold them as a financial insurance policy to help protect you from the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar, bank failures, a market crash and war)

You need to have cash (U.S. paper currency) on hand at home. Cash will be king (temporarily) when the stock market crash / bank holiday / war emergency powers are put in place. I would advise all reading this to begin saving all your lose change also. (pennys, nickels, dimes, and quarters) I expect shortages of change when the crisis starts.

There were shortages of change during covid, and whats coming on the horizon will make covid seem like a fun day at the amusement park. By having change on hand, you will be able to pay the exact amount at stores, if electronic transactions have stopped due to cyber attack, etc.

Also, begin saving all the lower denomination paper currency that you can (one dollar bills, fives, tens, and twenty dollar bills) Larger denomination bills have their place also, but if all you have is 50’s and 100’s, chances are many stores may not be able to give back change. Store away much more lower denomination bills than larger ones. (especially one dollar bills)

Paper currency will be KING when the market crash / banking crisis comes, but it will be only a very temporary thing. Soon after that, the general public will lose faith in the paper currency, because it will sharply lose its value. This is where Gold and Silver will really shine. I’ve mentioned this before, but I will state it again.

Back on 4/19/20 at 6:53pm. I was in my kitchen when suddenly the Lord spoke to me and said: “THE RED HORSE IS COMING” instantly tears were rolling down my face, because I KNEW it was the Lord warning me. This was when covid first started, and there were no signs of war anywhere! Now you can’t go even one day without reading about how near nuclear war is.

The coming of the RED HORSE (Rev. 6:4) brings war, and all of the horrific devastation that comes with it. It is the BLACK HORSE (Rev 6:5-6) that brings famine and food shortages. They are so severe, that food is actually weighed out in scales. The shortages create monetary HYPER-INFLATION. The famine in Rev.6:5-6 represents scarcity in food which naturally creates sky-rocketing prices. The hyper-inflation that follows results in prices that are at least TEN TIMES THERE NORMAL COST!

In (Gen 47:13-26) it speaks of a severe famine that came upon Egypt. Gen.47:15 states: “And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, “Give us bread; for why should we die in thy presence? For the money faileth”

Most Christians merely read that verse and think that those two words (Money Faileth) means that their money became worthless. This is absolutely incorrect. I have never personally heard anyone else speak about what I am about to bring to your attention concerning the term “MONEY FAILETH”  Chances are that you haven’t either, so…remember you heard it here first!

The word “MONEY” in the 1990 Strong’s Concordance is #3701 in the Hebrew, and means “SILVER” and the word “FAILETH” is # 656 in the Hebrew, and means “TO DISAPPEAR” i.e. “Cease”  “to be clean gone” In other words it was all spent, and was completely gone from circulation. We are very close to this happening again. Hear me Saints of God, I know what I’m speaking about. THE SILVER IS GOING TO DISAPPEAR!

There is a term known as “GRESHAM’S LAW” which basically means that “BAD MONEY DRIVES OUT GOOD” In nearly every instance in the Bible when you see the word “MONEY” it is speaking of Silver. In 1965 when they took the silver out of our coinage, people began hoarding the pre 1965 silver coins (because they were much more valuable) and used the coins from 1965 on up (which were intrinsically less valuable) to spend in  normal everyday transactions.

I am blowing the trumpet right now, and warning that: THE MONEY (Silver)  IS FAILING (Disappearing). Meaning not only that: THE SILVER IS DISAPPEARING….BUT ALSO THAT OUR U.S. DOLLAR IS BECOMING MORE WORTHLESS EVERYDAY. We as wise Christian soldiers are to do the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the Egyptians did. They spent their silver money first, then gave up their cattle, etc..and eventually they became as slaves.

In the dark days ahead that are rapidly approaching, we as wise Christians are to prudently spend our BAD MONEY FIRST, (credit cards, debit cards, paper money, and all digital transactions) and save your GOOD MONEY (silver and gold) as the very last thing that you own, and have to spend. It will be of MUCH more value, and in the coming tribulation and hyper-inflationary crisis that is near, you may even be able to use it to pay off all your bills, and get completely out of debt.

Prov.21:20 ” There is treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up” One more time, in the coming financial meltdown, spend all of your BAD money first, and your GOOD money last.

In Nov. 2025 The U.S. Government added silver to their list of critical minerals vital to our national security. Silver is used in electrical circuits, batteries, solar cells, anti-bacterial medical instruments, and many other critical uses. Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS is now basically insolvent, and is rumored to fail soon, because of their activities in shorting over 5 billion oz. of silver.

Also China is greatly restricting it’s silver exports, because they need the metal themselves, and they are happy to do this, because it is acting like an economic weapon against the U.S. Silver is essential for war, and all superpowers are finally waking up to just how critical silver really is.

Several years ago I believe the Lord spoke two words to me: “PERSONAL SANCTIONS” Some months after that, several conservative political people began having their bank accounts frozen and closed, and could not gain access to other traditional banking services. They starting calling this being “DE-BANKED”

This is also a significant warning that I am giving to all Christians right now. If you are a hard-core outspoken Jesus loving Christian, when the mark of the beast is implemented: YOU WILL BE HIT WITH “PERSONAL SANCTIONS” and be “De-Banked” You will be denied access to ALL traditional banking services in the future, rendering you unable to participate in everyday economic commerce.

This is where gold and silver come into play, and it’s why I believe it will be essential to have on hand during the time of great tribulation. Become your own bank with Biblical Constitutional money! There will be an underground Christian economy of barter, and the use of gold and silver as a medium of exchange will be in place.The church will go underground, into the wilderness to escape persecution, and an underground economy will emerge.

Back on Dec.14th, 2012, while on my knees in prayer the Lord clearly spoke to me, saying: “YOU HAVE AN EXODUS MINISTRY” I sat in silence for a bit, and said to the Lord something like: “Oh good Lord…when will I be getting out of this wilderness that I’m in?” Shortly after I spoke that, the Lord answered me with a tone of “amusement” in his voice, as if he were sympathetic to my lack of spiritual understanding. He said: “SON………YOU”RE NOT EVEN OUT OF EGYPT YET……BUT BE HAPPY…BE HAPPY…IN THE WILDERNESS IS WHERE THE MIRACLES START!”

I have gone through many very hard things since that day. It has taken a lot of time for me to realize that the most important part of this God-Called “EXODUS MINISTRY” is the spiritual one…being set free from the bondage of sin which come exclusively through faith in what Jesus Christ did at the cross.

Yet, this “EXODUS” is also physical. At some point soon, every one of us will have to draw a line in the sand and say: “OKAY…THAT”S IT…..NO MORE!” Take the house. Take the Harley. Take the computer, the cellphone, and your wicked beast system. Take it all, because I WILL.NOT COMPLY.  When that time comes, then IT’S TIME TO HEAD INTO THE WILDERNESS. The wilderness that Rev.12:6, and Rev.6:14 speak of. (This is NOT the Jews fleeing into the wilderness, it is the blood washed church of Jesus Christ that this is speaking of)

When the children of Israel left Egypt in Ex. 12:35-36 They departed Egypt with “jewels of silver” and “jewels of gold” that the Egyptians gladly gave them just to get them out of the country. In other words they took their bank account (gold and silver) with them out into the wilderness. If it be the Lord’s will, by his grace and mercy I shall do the same.

How about you? What will you do when the money fails? Are you preparing for the time of trouble that is soon to come upon us? May God bless and direct you in what he personally wants each and everyone of you to do in these perilous days in which we live. Gold and silver will most definitely NOT save you, but I firmly believe that those who own it, will find themselves in a much better position than those who don’t. Seek God’s face on what he would have you to do. If this word has somehow educated you, and motivated you to prepare and get closer to the Lord, then may God receive all the praise and glory.  Come soon Lord Jesus! Maranatha!
