Senior Gold Producer provides perspective

May 17th, 2013

The following interview provides another view of how gold demand is broken down:

The only group that is negative on gold is the short-term trader/investor.  This includes the agents of the Fed such as Goldman Sachs.  Is the tail wagging the dog?

Notice what the average cost to mine gold is- $1,200 to $1,300 per ounce.  Do you think gold miners will sell their product at a loss at any significant volume?  Thus you can see why my bottom number is in the $1,250 range for a short term dip.  What do you think will happen to the share price if gold skyrockets to $3,500 per ounce?

The Shell Game

May 16th, 2013

I wrote last week of the expected takedown of gold as early as Friday, maybe Monday.  It appears that the central planners have figured out that a quick smackdown will be met with immediate increased buying in the physical market.  A slow decline causes investors to deal with sustained emotions of loss.  How much pain can one take?  The offset is the belief that the current environment is only temporary and that requires commitment.

The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) is a number issued daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange. Not restricted to Baltic Sea countries, the index provides "an assessment of the price of moving the major raw materials by sea. Taking in 23 shipping routes measured on a timecharter basis, the index covers Handysize, Supramax, Panamax, and Capesize dry bulk carriers carrying a range of commodities including coal, iron ore and grain."

The BDI has never recovered from the 2008 slide.  This ought to tell us that the stock markets around the globe do not represent consumer demand for products.

If the markets reflected true demand for goods, they would be down well over 50% of their current levels.  The central banks continue to “goose” the numbers hoping that consumers will be convinced of a real recovery but that is not happening.  23% unemployment in the U.S. is a constant reminder that all is not well.  The BDI is not a popular index by the media so it has no focus placed on it by central planners.  Instead, gold & silver continue to be where the battles are being fought.  The mainstream media accommodates those who want to depress the price and this has been the case for the last twelve years.  The markets have a serious disconnect with main street reality.

Interest rate suppression has caused investors to chase returns.  Junk bonds are now yielding 5%.  In 2008 junk bond yields were 20%.  There is no way that a high risk bond should yield only 5%!

Gold buying volumes in China year over year are up four to five times.  India is also a big purchaser.  And the price of gold is declining?  During the last smackdown there was the sudden appearance of a naked short sell order for 400 tons of gold.  Who has 400 tons of gold?  Goldman Sachs put the order in.  This should be investigated but I seriously doubt that anyone will take the “perp walk”.  These acts by central planners indicates desperation at the highest levels.

“The stock averages are over-bought, over-valued, over-loved and at record highs.  Margin debt is sky-high, showing that there is a great deal of speculation built into this market.” says Richard Russell, a seasoned investment newsletter writer.  I agree.

Power Consumption in China is no longer on a growth pattern:

If their economic engine isn’t supporting global growth, who is?  This virtual reality being promoted in the markets cannot last indefinitely.  When the curtain is finally pulled back, I would not want to be on the wrong side of the gold & silver market.  The foundation of the shell game is deceit and a slight of hand where your eyes are misled by distraction.  We are in the midst of a “super bubble” and the inside of the bubble looks calm… until it bursts.

Shavuot: Feast of Weeks

May 15th, 2013

Shavuot – May 14 – 16, 2013:   Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. The Ten Commandments (of Love) are read in synagogues, just as they were in the desert on Mt. Sinai over 3,300 years ago.

As for us, we received our final approval to sell the books using credit card payments today at: www.unity153.net

Today, we finally successfully configured our broadcasting equipment to improve the viewing & audio experience for the weekly Bible study.

Last night and today (same day) we sent our content for “Raising a Remnant” to the publisher.

I would say this has been a great celebration.

Raising a Remnant

May 15th, 2013

In about four weeks we will be offering our fourth book “Raising a Remnant” written by Kemper Ditzler.  I see this book as an instructional guide to those who have been called to bring forth the Kingdom.  Yesterday, we submitted the book to the publisher.  Coincidental to that submission, Stephen Jones wrote an excellent blog on “The Law of Gleanings”.  See: http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/daily-weblogs/2013/05-2013/moses-eighth-speech-part-10-law-of-gleanings/

Of course, Our Heavenly Father’s timing is perfect… once again.  Our online Bible study has been focusing of the Sufferings of Christ.  This runs parallel to Stephen’s comments:

Devotion requires death, and if we are truly devoted to God, He works in us to kill the flesh. It is only by dying with Him that we are raised in newness of life (Romans 6:4). In fact, this is the difference between the average believer and the one who is devoted to Him. Those devoted to Him seem to be the most mistreated people of all. We all feel sorry for them, but Jesus says of them in John 10:28 and 29,

28 and I give aionian life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.

This was the way Jesus expressed the law of devotion, for no devoted thing, once given to God, could be “sold or redeemed” from God’s ownership. In other words, they are not for sale at any price. When carnal things were devoted to God, He destroyed the flesh in them in order to consecrate them as a useful vessel in the house of God.

As I have written in my books and at this site, we must die to the flesh as we fulfill the Baptism of Love.  Stephen, Kemper, and I are providing our brothers and sisters with the necessary witnesses of the path to be taken by the “remnant”.  Let everything be established by two or three witnesses.  As I have said in the past, two witnesses are important, three deal with a critical truth.

Further:

And so, we see that the law of gleanings speaks of a remnant, or portion of a field, vine, or tree that is devoted to God.

Those of us who have embraced our callings see ourselves as devoted to Our Heavenly Father.  We are shedding the trappings of the world and accepting HIS perfect plan, will, and purpose for our lives.  Our focus is on HIS plan, not the world’s system.

The gleanings are identified with the remnant of grace, which God has claimed for Himself. For those gleanings to be useful to feed the poor and needy nations of the world,

As we have discussed, our Census references Numbers 26 and John 21.  The 153 fish were counted as a census.  They were served up as “food” after the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  The seven disciples ate the “remnant” then went forth to spread the Gospel.

He has put that remnant through a vigorous training program in order to kill the flesh and set their spirit free to walk in a new way of life in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom. The gleanings company—the remnant of grace—are called to distribute the blessings of Abraham to all nations of the earth.

Only by having a revelation of Love would a gleanings company be willing to distribute blessings to all of the nations of the earth.  Our Heavenly Father was preparing us as HE removed us from man’s covering.  We became as “orphans” so the HE would be our covering.  Each of us is being trained to hear HIS Voice and respond in Love.  The Census is now being taken to establish a witness and evidence of our response to HIM.

I Love the way HIS plan comes together!

Numbers

May 14th, 2013

Our Heavenly Father is concerned about numbers.  After all, HE created mathematics and the relationship of numbers.  Numbers occur throughout Scripture where there are many hidden truths.  Our Heavenly Father ordered Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, to number those able to bear arms—of all the men "from twenty years old and upward," and to appoint princes over each tribe. 603,550 Israelites are found to be fit for military service. In chapter 26, a generation later and after approximately forty years of wandering the desert, the Lord orders a second census. 601,730 men are counted, exactly 1,820 men less.

The Levites were also numbered:

14    Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying:

15    “Number the children of Levi by their fathers’ houses, by their families; you shall number every male from a month old and above.”

By taking a census, every person became “accountable”.  The concept is no different than today’s census.

Numbers 3:39   All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, by their families, all the males from a month old and above, were twenty-two thousand.

The number 22 represent light and revelation, sonship, sons of light, in Scripture thus the Levites were chosen to bring forth revelation at the beginning of the journey in the wilderness.  Within this group Our Heavenly Father called forth an additional counting:

Numbers 4:1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying: 2 “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the children of Levi, by their families, by their fathers’ house, 3 from thirty years old and above, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tabernacle of meeting.

The sons of Kohath were to focus on Spiritual warfare (enter the service to do the work) on behalf of the Israelites.

At the end of the Book of Numbers, all of the tribe of Levi were counted again:

Number 26:62   And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel.

The number 23 represents “death and resurrection-life.” in Scripture, prophesying the end of the Levitical priesthood just prior to entering the Promised Land and the beginning of the Order of Melchizedek.  The Levites fulfilled their purpose in the Wilderness and were dedicated to the Spiritual aspects of service.  Their numbers grew by 1,000 over the 38 1/2 years between the two censuses.  1,000 represents the Glory of God, Completeness.  The second census prior to entering the Promised Land is a precursor to the Glory coming.  Our Heavenly Father gives us only enough details to carry out the task at hand and we operate according to HIS good pleasure.

In the final accounting, there were 820 less in the total census.  I am sure Our Heavenly Father will show us the relevance of this number at some point.

Confirming Receipt of Your Ransom

May 11th, 2013

Within the next week, we expect to begin posting to “Your Information” the receipt of your ransom.  After you have logged in, you will go to “Your Information” update Screen and we will add a status notification.

As a reminder:

Advice from Martin, our Postal Expert:

“In mailing the silver it should go in a small padded envelope so it will not be run through machines (The silver does not bend easily and I have found 1 oz rounds in the machines when cleaning them because they were mailed in letter envelopes that were torn open by the machines).  This will ensure proper delivery.”

I picked a standard letter at the post office and the silver coins dropped to the ground from a slit in the edge of the envelope probably created while being processed by the postal machines.  Fortunately the coins were fully accounted for.

Legal Evidence

May 11th, 2013

The piece of silver given into the Treasury is a token deemed as legal evidence that you participated in the Census.  Evidence is proof, validity of your action, path,  plan, direction, intent.  When evidence is presented in the Heavenly Court, your silver coin provides indisputable proof of your intent.  Our Heavenly Father provides us many tokens or signs of HIS Divine Intent.  The rainbow in the sky represents HIS Divine Intent to never judge the entire earth by water again.   It is a reminder or visible, tangible evidence of intent.

As we continue with the Census, we are establishing our agreement with the purpose and intent of Our Heavenly Father.  That coin has been placed into evidence of your claim to inheritance.  What is our inheritance?  Is is the souls of all the inhabitants of the earth.  It is to bring forth Our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom on earth.  Men have prayed The Lord’s Prayer prophesying of the fateful day.  We are bringing forth one aspect of the legal requirement to claim the inheritance.  The second Census included the right to inherit.  We are proclaiming that right and our motivation is Love.
