Haggai 2: 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
This one is huge, for the passage is not restricted to silver and gold, but rather includes all of those rare earth materials that go into the making of computer chips and lithium batteries that power your Tesla or other electric/ Hybrid vehicles. Those raw materials all belong to God. The words “Silver and gold” also refer to all jewels and precious stones sold by your favorite Jeweler, including every item sold by Tiffany and Zales, and includes the diamonds in that ring you gave to your wife, not too long ago. It all belongs to God.
Genesis 2: 10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasses the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia.
In fact, long before there was any mining upon the earth, there was gold and precious stones buried in the earth, very much of which could now be found buried beneath the sand dunes of the deserts in Namibia. When God created the earth He also made gold, silver, precious stones and rare earth materials in abundance. All of the oil and gasoline sold at your Chevron and Exxon gas stations, come from oil, coal, and shale which belong to God alone.
Genesis 24:34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant. 35 And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
