In One Accord

Wednesday, July 17th, 2013

Just prior to the beginning of the Age of Pentecost, Jesus prepared the disciples for 40 days:

Acts 1:1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

The Disciples who were chosen were in “unity” and were in their final training prior to the Day of Pentecost. Should we expect any less just prior to the fullness of the Age of Tabernacles? Should we expect to have 40 days of intense preparation and “infallible proofs” just prior to the manifestation? If so, could August be highly active for the Remnant? I for one would be thrilled.

Selah!

The Fed is out of tools

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013

The Federal Reserve has painted itself into a corner. Can you reduce interest rates to a negative level? The 10 year bond yield has increased and that worries Bernanke and company. There have been some resignations at the Fed and at the same time Harry Reid is trying to make it easier to get President Obama’s appointees approved through the Senate. See: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/07/harry-reid-vows-to-break-filibuster-rule-in-this-new-era/

I do agree with Reid, this is a new era coming but I have a different view of how it will look. The U.S. is desperately trying to keep the Dollar in demand by initiating trade agreements that are dollar-based, mainly with Europe. In the meantime, the Kings of the East are putting together a financial infrastructure that eliminates the Dollar as the world reserve currency. They have had enough of the U.S. exporting devaluation to their shores.

I suspect that we may have one more attempt at a smackdown of gold and silver prices before the bottom of prices is in. The problem in another smackdown is that most of the weak sellers of gold and silver have already exited the market. The current buyers are longer term investors who are looking for bargains and are not scared by a price drop. On the contrary, they hope they get another rock-bottom buying opportunity. The current prices of gold and silver have put stress on the mining companies. I am focusing on those companies with zero debt and cash in the bank. Some of the senior producers will come out with ugly numbers this quarter as they cut away any excess and take the loss. This should provide a stronger sector in coming quarters.

Bernanke publicly eluded to the fact that the unemployment numbers may be understated. I wonder if he is now a subscriber to John Williams’ www.shadowstats.com? We’ve been reporting this reality for some time. What kind of shape is the economy in? The following graph from Zero Hedge may tell the story:

The Covenant of Unity

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013

Love is the basis of a Covenant of Unity. Throughout the Scripture, Our Heavenly Father has operated by covenant. The first mention of “covenant” is found in Genesis 6:18: But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

What is a covenant? Strong’s defines it as:

1) covenant, alliance, pledge

a) between men

1) treaty, alliance, league (man to man)

2) constitution, ordinance (monarch to subjects)

3) agreement, pledge (man to man)

4) alliance (of friendship)

5) alliance (of marriage)

b) between God and man

1) alliance (of friendship)

2) covenant (divine ordinance with signs or pledges)

It the broadest sense, creation has a covenant with Our Heavenly Father, The Creator. HIS Divine Intent IS creation. Just as the potter expresses his intent into the clay vessel, Our Heavenly Father expressed HIS Divine Intent into each one of us. Each GOD particle that makes up our being is part of HIS Divine Intent and is held together by Love. At our core, we are the expression of HIS Love and that is something we can’t escape or negate by our ignorance or lawlessness.

Effectively, each of us have a Covenant of Unity with Our Heavenly Father for each of us are HIS creation. Each of our cells have a covenant with our other cells. Our DNA communicates that unity thus there is no rejection in a normal functioning body. When a group of cells are exposed to interference, the result can form cancer. These cells are no longer functioning in unity but instead are moving the rest of the body toward death and destruction. Their communication has been interrupted or cut off from the rest of the body. They have “forgotten” their covenant with the rest of the body. Love restores communication for it is the origin of the Intent. It is the master blueprint of instruction and design.

The Covenant of Unity requires an understanding of the “glue” that holds it together. That glue is the Revelation of Love. This is why I focus on this core need in many of the writings. Unity can only be fully achieved when Love is its basis. Every covenant Our Heavenly Father enacted is based on HIS Love for mankind. HE is the Potter. Every true law is based on Love or it cannot be truly classified as a law. All other attempts at legislation result from man’s self-centered attempt to control.

The Remnant is an expression of a Covenant of Unity. The Remnant’s only desire is to carry out Our Heavenly Father’s ministry of reconciling men back to HIMSELF. That was the mandate of Jesus’ walk on this earth. As He stated, “I and [my] Father are one” (John 10:30). He is in unity with Our Heavenly Father. We are called to be in that same unity with Our Heavenly Father.

This Census is all about being in Unity. A covenant is a pledge and your coin represents your pledge to a Unity representing Our Heavenly Father. We are all called to serve mankind and as we move into unity the Body of Christ becomes functional. Each member of the Body is important. Each gift and calling is on this earth by Divine Intent. No calling is greater than another but each is necessary to fulfill the Divine Intent that manifested the Sons for such a time as this. Focus on removing any interference that is preventing you from being in unity with other members. If you don’t understand Love, focus on it. If you have unforgiveness, get over it and forgive the other person. If you are called to be one of those “lively stones” making up the Temple, you must then be prepared to take your position. You will then be in a Covenant of Unity!

Ambassadors for Christ

Monday, July 15th, 2013

2 Corinthians 5:19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

In the last writing I spoke of the Census, to be counted in the Ministry of Reconciliation. Paul goes further in the passage to share the fact that Love came to reconcile the world, not imputing or taking into account the trespasses. Trespasses, or lapse or deviation from truth and uprightness, were dealt with by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Dr. Speckhart in our online Bible study yesterday discussed the fact that Jesus Christ removed the power of the “anti-particles” by His Blood. This was HIS work, not ours. We are to be “ambassadors” or mature sons, elders, who represent Christ. Paul understood that we are to become walking testimonies of the Love of Our Heavenly Father. This unconditional Love will penetrate even the hardest heart. Paul knows, he was one of the vessels of dishonor who had much to be reconciled before Christ. Who better to minister the understanding of reconciliation than the man who needed it the most!

The above verse blows away man’s attempt to send the sinner into eternal damnation. But just the opposite is to occur. The Ministry of Reconciliation is to bring all men unto Christ. How? By our walk, actions, and words. Love will testify of itself and pierce men’s hearts. Love will provide the solutions to men’s problems and coming crises. Love will righteously judge those vessels of dishonor. Love will pose the question in a supernatural setting “why persecutest thou me?”. HIS ways are above our ways and HIS ministry will strike the hearts of all men. HIS judgments and mercy will provide an irresistible call to reconciliation. Now is the time! Be counted, be prepared, be ready!

The Ministry of Reconciliation

Sunday, July 14th, 2013

Isn’t that the endgame for the Overcomers, the Remnant, that Our Heavenly Father has reserved for this time? Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians:

5:18 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

The word “ministry” is the Greek word “diakonia” which means those who serve, those who by the command of God proclaim and promote HIS Kingdom.

The word “reconciliation” is the Greek word “katallagē” which means to exchange for money, exchanging equivalent values thus it would relate to a ransom. Our Heavenly Father established your ransom value in Leviticus when HE proclaimed the Census both times. Stephen Jones was led to call forth a Census for the Jubilee Prayer Campaign in 1993. (See http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/daily-weblogs/2013/05-2013/new-census-being-taken/). We are now conducting the second Census. Isn’t a Jubilee all about restoration?

Leviticus 25:8 ‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.

9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land.

10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.

11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine.

12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field.

You see why our current Census is to be completed on the Day of Atonement. That is the Day of Reconciliation. One would think that the Ministry of Reconciliation might begin on the Day of Atonement. We called a second Census for those who are led to be counted for the entrance into the Promised Land. Remember that during the time of Moses the land needed to be taken from the lawlessness of the inhabitants that prevailed at that time. The land needed to be restored and reconciled back to the proper ownership. After it was “reconciled” then the inheritance was distributed to those who were counted.

If you have not registered for the Census, ask Our Heavenly Father if you should? If you don’t hear a response, wait until you do… either a yes or a no. Silence may mean you are being challenged to see if you will pursue an answer. Our ego wants to remain in control. The Ministry of Reconciliation is all about serving as Paul stated in the passage above. Our ego wants us to serve “it” and no other. I believe these are times where the stakes are high. Once in the Promised Land, there were two covenants made: The Covenant at Gilgal(Rolling) and The Covenant at Shechem (Ridge). At the Covenant at Shechem, Joshua spoke the following:

Joshua 24:14 “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

To read more about the Census, go to: http://www.servias.org/?cat=11 and read the blogs back to May 1st.

To register for the Census, sign up at www.unity153.net and during the entry of “Your Information”, mark the box to register. If you do not mark the box, you are not signed up for the Census. You can then send a coin to Servias Ministries, PO BOX 1471, Bethany, OK 73008. If you do not have a coin and cannot get one, tell us. We will provide you a coin from the Treasury and will assign it to you. Those of you who sent in a coin and did not go to unity153.net, we entered your information on your behalf so that we could properly account for the Census and audit the Treasury of the ransom money.

The Census will be completed in 62 days.

From Dishonor to Honor

Saturday, July 13th, 2013

In the last blog we focused on the reality that vessels of honor were converted from vessels of dishonor. Isn’t that how all of us started out? Each of us needed to be saved thus we were vessels of dishonor. Isn’t the ultimate calling of the Remnant to minister “conversion” to those vessels of dishonor to become vessels of honor? Or is it simply to get a glorified body and be exalted over everyone else and rule as one of the new “elite”? The purpose of walking around in a glorified body is to be a part of the global conversion of dishonor to honor in the broadest sense. It is to serve mankind, not to rule over them as a taskmaster or exalted king seeking his own.

We must embrace the Sufferings of Christ that we may bring forth conversion or transformation in those who Our Heavenly Father has placed in our path. It is not Our Heavenly Father’s will that any should perish, no matter what level of dishonor they are currently walking in. Saul (who is Paul) is an excellent example. Many have focused on his encounter with Jesus Christ as the critical point of his conversion. I would submit that Stephen’s sufferings for Christ was the seed planted that later resulted in his conversion. Let’s look at Stephen’s example of an overcomer:

Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.

The first thing we must consider is that Stephen was walking out his calling, he was empowered. His fruit had been observed as we see earlier when the need arose for some men to oversee the needs of the people:

:3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;

It is clear that Stephen understood the seven pillars of Wisdom found in Proverbs and was known for his observable good fruit. He was going to need that wisdom. Soon there were people who would dispute the message of the Gospel. They conspired to bring forth a false witness against him to shut him up. They saw that his message would cause them to lose control of their elite status among the people. When they brought him forth to the council, something happened:

:15 And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.

Stephen’s face transformed to that of an angel? One must conclude that there was evidence of “glorification” on his face, similar to Moses. How else would they see a change and describe it in angelic terms? Stephen then provides them with a revelation of Scripture and tells them that “However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands”. He then expresses words of judgment over them: “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears!” Clearly, they did not have Circumcised Hearts of Love. The culmination of his ministry had arrived:

Acts 7:54 When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

The ultimate suffering was at hand. Now enters Saul into the picture:

:58 and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Saul was to oversee the final suffering of Stephen for Christ. Little did he realize that Stephen was planting a righteous seed into Saul that would later turn his life upside down. Saul was zealous and focused in his job of persecuting Christians. However, the words of Stephen were planted into Saul’s heart and those righteous words of Love and forgiveness would ultimately bring forth good fruit:

:59 And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 60 Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Stephen’s last words were instrumental in the conversion of Saul from a vessel of dishonor to a vessel of honor. He planted the seed in Saul’s life. He started the process that was irreversible. This set the stage for Saul to meet Jesus on the road to Damascus but while this seed was growing, Saul continued to persecute the Christians. One might think that Stephen’s suffering was to no avail but Our Heavenly Father does everything in HIS own timing. The fullness of Saul’s unrighteousness needed to fully mature.

Acts 9:

1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him,“Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”

Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

Paul had his “Come to Jesus” meeting on the road to Damascus. Stephen set the stage for the conversion. He planted the seed that ultimately resulted in Paul’s face-to-face meeting with Jesus Christ. Jesus communicated that reality that Stephen was “one” with Jesus when He posed the question to Saul: “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”. Saul responded to the Word of GOD and the Sufferings of Christ observed in Stephen. Paul was forgiven of much and much was required of him, he did mighty things for the Kingdom. He once was a vessel of dishonor but now he is a vessel of honor.

Stephen is a type and shadow of an overcomer. It wasn’t until he walked in the fullness of faith and power did he fulfill his calling. Shouldn’t this be the focus of the aspiring overcomer? Rather than focusing on the external, maybe we should be focusing on the internal. Could it be that until the Remnant is fully matured that the lawlessness will continue to prevail? In the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares, the tares (those who practice lawlessness) were allowed to continue grow until the wheat had fully matured. Once the wheat was fully matured, “Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!’”

The Lump of Clay

Friday, July 12th, 2013

Romans 9:21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?

The Apostle Paul provides us perspective about a subtle truth that many overlook in their interaction with others. Our Heavenly Father formed each of us, HE is the Potter. We are all made from the same “lump of clay”. As we have been discussing in our Sunday Bible study, the non-quantum state of Divine Intent is totally motivated by Love thus all of creation is created out of Love and has Love at its core nature. If Love is truly the Divine Intent of every molecule in a vessel of clay then why does one vessel result in honor and the other in dishonor? Love gives the vessel the opportunity to choose its path- life or death, honor or dishonor. Each of us came from the same dust.

Your current state as a vessel is determined by your “wellness”. Wellness is a state of optimal well-being that is oriented toward maximizing an individual’s potential. How do you maximize your potential? By operating in your gifts and calling. By studying the Scripture and deciding daily to pursue the Truth that has been revealed to you. By choosing grace and mercy over judgment. By seeking relationships with others rather than finding fault. By sacrificing “self” for the benefit of others. The purpose of a vessel is for use by the maker. If it is not useful, it isn’t needed in its current state. What does a potter do with a vessel that isn’t fulfilling its purpose? He grinds it back down to powder then adds water and reshapes it into a useful vessel. Jesus said to the chief priests and Pharisees:

Matthew 21:43 “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it. 44 And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”

In His parable, Jesus spoke of the wicked servants. They had chosen the path of dishonor and those who have chosen this path will not be selected as one of the “stones” to build HIS Temple. Our Heavenly Father makes the best use of resources. HE does not get rid of the powder. Instead HE applies water of HIS Spirit to the powder and reshapes the lump into a new vessel, a vessel of honor. A conversion takes place, not elimination of a soul.

Jeremiah 18:1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

2 “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.”

3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.

Our Heavenly Father is in the business of restoration, not destruction. We too should be in the business of restoration. Are your actions restoring or destroying? We are to be a light unto the world and light brings revelation to the darkness.

The state of your vessel is affected by past choices. As you have taken the path of death and destruction, your vessel moves into judgment. Do you think that if you constantly abuse your body with drugs that there will not be some type of judgment associated with those past actions? Do you think that if you constantly exalted yourself over others that there will be no ramification to your acts? We must seek HIS Grace and Mercy to nullify our past choices that led us down the path of death and destruction. At an absolute minimum, quit doing anything until you know what to do correctly. Stop! Begin dwelling and meditating on HIS Word and only do what is revealed to you. If you can’t say something good and life-giving, shut up, say nothing. Quit sowing seeds of death and destruction, your destruction.

Your past reflects your ability to deal with life. When you have neglected, abused, or denied Love, you have removed the essential attribute needed to deal with life. Your lawlessness can be attributed to the level of your revelation of Love. The closer you move to the Potter and HIS Divine Intent, the greater your understanding of Love. As you understand HIS Divine Intent, you become a useful vessel, a vessel of honor. The Apostle Paul, a vessel of dishonor(Saul) was transformed into a vessel of honor(Paul). His example should be comforting to all who are concerned about the current state of their “vessel”.

The Remnant of Grace

Thursday, July 11th, 2013

Romans 11:5 Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

7 What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

8 Just as it is written:

“God has given them a spirit of stupor,

Eyes that they should not see

And ears that they should not hear,

To this very day.”

9 And David says:

“Let their table become a snare and a trap,

A stumbling block and a recompense to them.

10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,

And bow down their back always.”

I believe Servias Ministries and a few other ministries are all about preparing the “Remnant of Grace” to convert vessels of dishonor to vessels of honor and bringing forth the Kingdom of GOD to earth. Throughout history, Our Heavenly Father has reserved a Remnant for HIMSELF. This Remnant of Grace was and is to prevent the full weight of judgment from coming to the earth as it did in the flood and in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah.

“But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.” Can that statement be applied today? Abram dwelt near Sodom but was led to separate himself from them:

Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre (strength), which [is] in Hebron (unity), and built there an altar unto the LORD.

Abram removed himself from the lawless area of Sodom and Gomorrah and later he made the covenant with Our Heavenly Father. His name was then changed to Abraham. In Genesis 18, Our Heavenly Father tells Abraham what HE is about to do to those two cities. Abraham questions Our Heavenly Father and finds that there is no righteous remnant there to assure protection from destruction. Severe judgment commences.

We are given many examples of why Love has not destroyed this earth and how Our Heavenly Father has maintained a Remnant throughout history. This Remnant has been selected by HIM to be that “firstfruit” to bring forth righteousness to the entire earth. We have a responsibility just as Abraham had a requirement to pursue righteousness and a closer relationship with Our Heavenly Father. How does Servias Ministries promote this path? By presenting these blogs and offering writings by those who aspire to be called “Sons” by Our Heavenly Father.

I was given the Word “Now is the Time” by Our Heavenly Father. It was once again confirmed to me on Sunday of this week. The census we are in the middle of is to identify those who have that same focus and desire to be counted as “The Remnant of Grace”. Those who truly know me are assured that I have no interest in participating in anything other that what Our Heavenly Father is doing. I would not call myself a “reluctant” son but I certainly don’t want to misrepresent Our Heavenly Father’s Divine Intent with some manmade concoction to appeal to peoples’ egos. This is HIS Census, not mine. Servias Ministries was HIS mandate, not mine. I am simply walking out what HE directs. It’s that simple. My responsibility to my brethren is to share revelation as I know it. Their responsibility is to respond to revelation from Above. Fruitfulness is a test of revelation. People are responding to the Census, to the blogs, and to the books offered by this ministry. As long as good fruit is being produced, I’m all in. What about you?

The Ramifications of Gold Price Fixing

Wednesday, July 10th, 2013

How can a central bank manipulate the price of gold downward? Let’s assume that you have 8,134 metric tons of gold in the depository. Recently, a 50 ton sales order was issued. The following table provides the latest estimates of official reserves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_reserve):

As you can see, only a handful of countries could back a single sale of 50 tons. From a practical matter, the U.S. is the only country that could put 50 tons on the market without a notable outcry.

Step 1: Create a contract to lease 50 tons to an agent such as Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs. With a lease in place, you can still claim ownership of the 50 tons of gold on your balance sheet. The leasing price is set at 1% per annum. The return of the metal is “indefinite” or on demand. (Wink, Wink)

Step 2: The agent bank sells 50 tons into the market causing the price to plummet. The market is overwhelmed with such a large sell order thus the price goes down until more buyers enter in.

Step 3: The agent bank allows the momentum of price decline to take hold as “momentum traders” jump on board to ride the price downward. They sell short into the gold futures market and push the price down further.

Step 4: Once a new price level becomes stable, the agent bank starts buying back the original gold (with the proceeds in Step 2) at a much slower pace, booking a profit and hoping to keep the price at the lower level.

So, what is the problem? Gold has been rising in price for over a decade and the agent bank cannot recoup the gold sold into the market. The central bank may not be able to get the gold back into its physical possession. The gold reserves then only represent what is on paper versus what is physically in inventory. Some observers believe that there are virtually no reserves left in some countries. The Germans want their gold back from the New York Federal Reserve Vault but have been told it will take years to get it back on their soil.

China is ranked #6 with 1054 tons but there are sources who claim that China has at least 4,000 tons, possibly up to 8,000 tons. Add India to the mix and you can see how the Kings of the East could move the world’s reserve currency to their control. Both countries continue to aggressively accumulate gold, especially at these low prices.

If the U.S. Dollar loses reserve currency status, the price of gold will skyrocket in terms of the U.S. Dollar. Paper wealth will substantially decline for those who hold the Dollar. The only thing keeping the Dollar from tanking is the perceived safety of holding Dollars. If that perception changes, volatility would occur overnight. Why do you think that the media is so focused on managing the perception of the populace? Why do you think that there are so many Executive Orders in place to handle a widespread upheaval? What reason did the authorities put in place capital controls so wealth could not flee the borders? Why do you think the military is now being used for domestic police assistance? The central planners are concerned that they will lose control. If they only realized that Our Heavenly Father is really in control, they could rest easier at night. Love will prevail. Yes, it is counterintuitive to what a person thinks is needed. However, Love framed the universe. I think it can resolve a few economic issues.

P.S. If gold is such an ancient relic, why do countries keep their reserves?
