BARTER vs. GOLD

-----THE GARDEN GNOME


Some people are insisting that we all buy as much gold and silver as we can get our hands on, and it sounds like a good idea. If; as it has been expected that inflation will soon hit because paper money is being printed with nothing backing it [And everyone except you and me] is getting billions to make them happy, money won't be worth much but Gold and silver will have value. But if the government decides to outlaw private ownership [ah, yes it's in the works] of precious metals, then all that hoarding won't be of much use.

However when it comes to daily living and we need something, there is always bartering. Start saving things of ordinary value that others will need so you can trade. I make small quilts, and veggie pulp crackers and save them. Other items like foods and clothing will be of use in bartering.

Ezekiel 7:19
19-They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.

Here is another interesting Scripture passage regarding gold and silver and how it cannot save the rich in the last days.

James 5:1-8
1-Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2-Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth eaten.
3-Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4-Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5-Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6-Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7-Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8-Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.


So, again, bury pounds and pounds of gold and silver [after buying it with all of your savings] or use those savings to buy barter items. Sewing supplies, clothing, and blankets, And all foods will be good to trade, Chickens raised at your home can be sold or traded, eggs will be a premium item, any meat canned or frozen, assuming you still have electricity; is good, gasoline, kerosene and other fuels... I'm sure lots of things are popping into your head right now.

Experts offer tips on surviving inflation »
As economic uncertainty continues and government spending skyrockets, some experts have offered advice on how best to prepare for what they see as an inevitable rise in inflation. According to the National Inflation Association (NIA), the smartest way to shield one’s net worth from the damaging effects of rising prices is to do away with U.S. bonds, treasuries and other dollar-denominated assets. Due to uncertainties surrounding the stock and the real estate markets, NIA also suggests precious metals, especially gold and silver, will become an ever more attractive class of assets to invest in, given their liquidity and tradability.
"Gold and silver have been accepted as real money for thousands of years and could replace the U.S. dollar as the ultimate safe haven for Americans to store their money," the association said. Because inflation leads to rising prices of food, clothing and other necessities, it may also be a good idea to stock up on canned foods, bottled water, medicine, toothpaste and first aid products in case government imposes price controls that would lead to shortages, it says. In times of economic hardship, some people have moreover benefitted from planting their own gardens or starting a farm. NIA concludes its inflation warning by saying that those who have debt should try to refinance it into smaller monthly payments over a longer period of time and should not loan money to anybody given that inflation increases the real value of debt.

I'd suggest Asking God now what He thinks you could use later to trade for other things you'll need and of course store up, this is a Biblical concept, on all the things you'll need.
