The Fall of Gold Prices. The Bible tells us that in the end days gold and silver prices shall drop to the point that they are worthless materials. What would cause such a drastic change in these values where by all financial institutions use them as an indicator of what paper currency is worth? I have noticed a great assurgence in the buying and selling of Gold and silver, but just as the diamond prices are regulated by a few, Gold and silver is also regulated to a certain extent. Lets take diamonds for the first example. DeBears is the largest diamond producer that I know of. They regulate the price by assuring that only a select number are released upon the world market. But look what would happen to the price of diamonds if all the stockpiles around the world would hit the market at once. As the sands of the seas, the diamonds would be worthless. So shall be the value of gold and silver. Let us read; “And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. And the idols he shall utterly abolish.” Loftiness; Elevated in condition or character. Proud. Haughtiness; Proud and disdainful; having a high opinion of one's self, with some contempt for others; lofty and arrogant; supercilious. “In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;” Many of the precious stones that are coveted by man today, have in essence become idols to be worshipped. Idols can be anything that you put before the Lord. It is written that the love of money is the root of all evil and I have found that this is very true. You can see that many rich and highly influential people, wear gold and silver constantly. Gold fausetts, silver cufflinks, and what about diamonds, they show off their wealth and prosperity by the number and size of these stones. What has caused the intrest of buying and selling gold today? It is fear, fear of the decline of all financial markets world wide. The fall of the stock exchange is not surpriseing but predictiable. When man decided to start calling evil, good, and good, evil, it was the time to watch for these changes. This world will not last forever, it has a begining and and end. Common sense dictates that the more a man owns, the more he desires. He is not satisfied with his hoard of wealth, but will lie awake at night crafting many devices to lay hold of what others possess. We see this in todays news, wallstreet, banks, credit card companies raising their interest rates to gain a foot hold into the every day life of the common man. As the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and suffer for it. There is coming a time that it will take a days wages, for those lucky enough to have a job, to pay for only the food that they eat. So if this is coming to pass, what about home sales, automobile industries, manufacturing and other services that we’ve all come to rely upon? They also shall fail. Who shall you turn too, the banks, the government or will you die of hunger and disease? To bring about Gods profetic word, the manufacturing, financial and false religious orders around the world must fail. This has been the warning from Jesus, who spoke of hiding our treasures in Heaven. “And he spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?” The financial institutions shall continue on a downward spiral, until all that they can take from the poor is exhausted. Will there be a great find of gold and silver to make them worthless? I do not know, but one thing is for certain, it will come to pass, so saith the Lord God. “Cease you from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?” Who are we to trust in? Banks and all financial institutions are steeling from the common man and the goverment is setting back and allowing this to happen. Shall you turn to God ansd His Christ or will you also take the mark of the Beast and enjoy sin for a season? The Choice is yours. “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;” Charge them that are rich] He had before, in 1Tim 6:1; 1Tim 6:9; 1Tim 6:10, given them a very awful lesson concerning their obtaining riches; and now he gives them one equally so concerning their use of them. That they be not high-minded] That they do not value themselves on account of their wealth, for this adds nothing to mind or moral worth. Nor trust in uncertain riches] (The uncertainty of riches; things which are never at a stay, are ever changing, and seldom continue long with one proprietor; therefore, as well as on many other accounts, they are not to be trusted in: they cannot give happiness, because they are not fixed and permanent; neither can they meet the wishes of an immortal spirit; but in the living God, who is the unchangeable fountain of perfection.”Clark) ars.

He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 2Ti 3:16-17; All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Teach faith to all Christians, and the ability to use it. 4. Teach the scripture, as the Lord desires it to be taught. 5. Render all church, man made doctrines, void, for Christ told us not to, add to nor take away, from the teaching of the Gospel. Gal 1:8-11; But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Yours brother in Chirst, Pastor Sadaf Saddique Pakistan
I am Pastor Sadaf Saddique from Good Shepherd Ministry, Pakistan. Good Shepherd Ministry is determined to preach the gospel to the group people throughout Pakistan and share the message of hope and salvation; whenever it is possible and whenever the blessed opportunity is given to the Good Shepherd Ministry, by the Lord Jesus Christ!
Brief Introduction:
Good Shepherd Ministry is Christ-centered, mission-oriented, Spirit-filled, Bible-based missionary organization revolving among the community with the purpose to reach those people with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, who have still not been reached with the gospel of truth.
Good Shepherd Ministry has primarily been supporting orphaned children in Toba Tek Singh and Chicha Watni ever since it opened in October 1999.
Good Shepherd Ministry provides a rented shelter for children who have been neglected, surrendered, or orphaned. We are very grateful to the Lord Jesus Christ, for He has allowed us, and moved us within our spirits, to keep on going even in the times of trials, difficulties and hurdles. Our goal is to have one formal Orphanage House where the children may live peacefully and rejoice in the blessing of God for a lodging which they may trust to be their own home. We ask that friends, individuals, and ministries pray along with us for this very purpose.
It has been exciting to see the children growing physically and in the love of Lord Jesus Christ.
God has made a place for these children at Good Shepherd Ministry where they can be placed out of harm’s way. God has also promised in His Word that He will not leave us as orphans (John 14:18) and we are seeing the literal evidence of that promise through Lord’s grace upon the Good Shepherd Ministry. It is our desire that these precious little ones would be brought up to know their Heavenly Father who is mindful of every sparrow that falls and who has had His hand on them, protecting them and putting into place a plan for each of their lives.
Good Shepherd Ministry is blessed to serve the Lord in the community where the Christians are discriminated and persecuted on the extreme level of being considered untouchables.
How You May Help!
Your moral and prayer support is what we need above everything. You may help the children at our orphanage house with your support for: Stationary, Note Books, Sunday School Stuff, Uniforms, Shoes, Clothing, Beddings, Toys, Wheat, Rice, Nourishment etc. We welcome support in money and also the support in kind is what we desperately needed and is highly appreciated. You are also welcome to help support our ministerial activities for Free Bible Distribution, Prayer meetings, crusades. There are people who have still not heard from the Word of God and they have not been reached with the message of the gospel. In Pakistan more than 60% people are illiterate and they do not know how to read and write. Good Shepherd Ministry prays for the recording/tape ministry so the people may be reached who can not read or write. Please specify the purpose, for which you will give your donations i.e. it is either for Orphanage House or for the Ministerial Activities. Translation Request / In Kind Support:
Good Shepherd Ministry is blessed with the pastors and leaders of the community who are professional in different fields who generously give their time to the Orphanage House and the Ministry voluntarily. Pastor Sadaf Saddique, professionally lawyer, and good translator from English to four major languages of Asia, i. e. Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati and Sindhi, takes care for the translation work with a team of other good translators, and we remain faithful to the source document in our translation services. We pay our translation services voluntarily and for honorarium. You are mot welcome to ask for Good Shepherd Ministry’s translation services for a book translation, for article, studies and for any teaching’s translations.
