Hello everyone, I'm am not a financial expert so I don't know if an IRA account based on gold is any safer than any other type of account. I only know that it feels safer and therefore might provide some comfort. If it gives you some peace, then it's a good thing. I'm a member of CBC Federal Credit Union and I know they have IRA accounts based on gold. Having said that, I also know that during the instant known as the "twinkling of an eye", it will no longer matter what the IRA account is based on. One other note of information is that the Truth Social web site is now open to web access. You can connect to the site using any browser and that includes browsers running on Android phones. My user id is Rickjones427, I know, a real shocker. I’ve thought a lot about gold actually, and it does make sense in that it is a physical asset that will always hold some value if you have it. I have always heard that if you can’t hold it in your hands you don’t really have it. Those are concerns of mine about things that are gold backed - in the game of musical chairs when the music stops will it be my chair they try to steal? Actually I say gold will always hold it’s value - well, not always - I always think of this scripture: “‘They will throw their silver into the streets, And their gold will be like refuse; Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them In the day of the wrath of the Lord; They will not satisfy their souls, Nor fill their stomachs, Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.” So there is coming a time when gold will be considered worthless, actually if I had to pick an investment in the near term I would say any kind of stored food at this point. You will never buy it cheaper than you can today (even though it’s not cheap - prices are only going to cost more in the future) it will always hold it’s value in that you can always eat it and save on your grocery bill in the future if the good ol days ever come back, and if not you can always sell some to people in need (not advocating price gouging which would be wicked in the Lord’s eyes - but you can get your money back out of the investment and probably even make a small profit which would not be wrong) Of course this sounds like “prepping” and to some extent it is. On one hand I don’t think we will be here to need such “preps” but on the other hand Joseph in the book of Genesis prepped for an extended famine and was commended for it, so if we see such things on the horizon we have to live a life of duality - live like Jesus is coming today but also occupy until He comes and live like we might have to stick it out a few more years if we need to and hopefully be in a position to have enough for ourselves and our families and maybe help our neighbors. Sharing food in a famine is perhaps one of the best witnesses and open doors to sharing the Gospel and the hope that is within us. Since we didn't and don't how long we will be on this earth, I had purchased gold back in 2008 when I retired. Not to place my treasures in this earth, but to only give my self the best possible chance of surviving until the rapture. In a sense I guess I have prepped waiting for the rapture, not planning on being here for the tribulation. I placed my faith in that bible verse also when making my decisions, understanding gold would be the last thing standing (IE: not Bitcoins or the dollar or anything else). See you in the air soon !!!! I think real food (can goods, beans, pasta, P&J, crackers, etc.) bottled water, medical supplies (bandaids, alcohol, etc), candles, matches, camping prep gear and the :bible and info knowledge on what is happening for 7 years will be of GREATER value than any gold and silver bars for the left behind. Since the survivors of who were vax will be on some sort of universal income … but the newly saved person in the tribulation, who isn’t vax with their latest demands and will NOT take the mark … might have the gold in their possession, but what good will it be … they wont be able to enter a grocery stores, restaurant, etc. without the special identity of the chip or whatever the mark is. Unless they barter with a family member or neighbor … but then after doing that … that person could easily turn them in because I’m sure they will get paid extra from the authorities to squeal on people including family members. And I can’t see the stores / restaurants carrying “real” food in the future … instead it will be some chemical man-made lab ___ will be considered “the new food”. :negative: Praise the Lord He is taking us home soon … we’ve seen this world at its best and now its time to :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: :flyup: I keep rowing around the pond on this topic: hard assets like gold vs. food. My struggle (and I'm on that bus a lot these days) is Revelation 6:6 -- Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!” Depending on the definition of "a day's wages" - the scales tip for me. And then I think about Joseph in Genesis 41 - interesting that it uses 7 years. Hmmm... I'm going to have to step back on the bus and take a seat ... thoughts? Indeed dire days ahead! Both in scripture and found in the hearts of evil men! Just ten years ago the general populace worldwide started to alter their thinking and shift of life priorities to what we are seeing today! Talk about a pole shift!!! If we don't get Raptured soon, I'm gonna need a barf bag! TR I have prepped for years; mostly with the knowledge that it is not for me but for those left, if my home survives what ever may happen. I have tried to have everything ready. MonkeyWerks just had a survival guy on and I can align with him. Perhaps today - just make sure that the gold you have is in small bits as you or those to follow will be killed for the large bricks —- place tracks with all of your things as well. I have Bibles and tracks and a letter among the food, in prep buckets, and so forth. I also have purchased alcohol for them to barter with. You are correct, Jospeh was told to prepare and I think that holds a bit of weight in one of the layers that God directed him and maybe us for a very short time before we go …. No one expected 2020 and while others where out scrambling for food and even TP and shelves became empty, My family was well cared for…..I didn’t even go to the store for the first three months. Yes, we are out of here very soon!!!! Geri — I would agree — Hey and I just found the best YouTube on making jars of dry Lentil soup. I have the jars, I have the spices and most of the lentils, so I ordered the dried veggies and will make about 20 jars of dry soup to place on the shelf with other stuff. It starts arriving tomorrow so prep 101 here I come,,,, along with unpacking more boxes, getting my hydroponics back up, plus I need to put the garden in this weekend, it is suppose to be warm and no rain …… Got all the young plants in the sunroom ready to go out ….. so unless God blows that beautiful trumpet, this is a busy work weekend for planting ….. :good: Todd — we may or may not see any of this, but … Who knew 2020 would look like it did? Who knew that Bill gates would shut down massive numbers of farms by buying up the land? Who knew that evil would kill off our chickens and cattle (all lies), creating a meat shortage with sky-rocketing prices? Who knew they would destroy baby formula? Who knew the price of gas would be soooo high? The wheels on the bus go round and round ….. you need to be prepared and especially if we don’t see our flt 777 until the fall as it is going to be a rough summer for sure …. :unsure: Has anybody invested in those freeze dried /dehydrated survival meal kits/buckets and if so … what is the best tasting brand?
Ezekiel 7:19
