More Milestones
Bob Neumann, 5/2006
Every time I see something in the questionable “REAL” world that points back to something I “learned” in/through THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT I call it a MILESTONE.
We get the idea for our highway mile markers from the engineers of the ROMAN LEGIONS. Besides building the legendary ROMAN ROADS and BRIDGES that crisscrossed Europe, the put marked STONES on the side of the road that told the traveler how much farther they had to go to the next facility.
The old saying that “ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME” was TRUE in the fact that outside of being on an ISLAND, if you were on a ROMAN ROAD…if you make the correct turns you could get to ROME without ever leaving THE ROAD.
So it seems is THE HIGHWAY OF HOLINESS…..and the only markers we can pass are the one GOD has placed on/in your life. One of the biggest HE has placed in my life is THE KILLING OF THE BULL long before Y2K and 9/11. Many have asked about THE BLOWS….few asked about the STEER.
Back in 2001 the DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE reached it’s historic high of 11,711….or there about. For the last year the DJI has flirted with the 11,700 level numerous times. Just like we are this week. But also this week we see the DOLLAR DEVALUATING, again. Prime INTEREST Rates going up, AGAIN. Commodities are going up…GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM, PALLADIUM, COPPER, RHODIUM, and all the RARE ELEMENTS increase as the dollar looses value.
Now one thing of interest I want to share with you. Out there in THE REAL WORLD and on the INTERNET there are people who are honest, and some who are not. The lessons of Y2K taught me many things…one is not to do business with anyone who declares that their business is a “Christian ministry”….or say they “cater” to fellow Christians. It seems they almost all felt that we should pay for the privilege.
So over the years I learned who would deal honestly with me and not try to gouge me at every opportunity. Several sell GOLD and SILVER. So these are the people whose prices I watch. One who I respect, has not had any “incremental” US GOLD COINS since GOLD PASSED $600. So he has had to look for FRENCH ROOSTERS and ANGELS to sell. BRITISH SOVEREIGNS and DUTCH KRONORS followed. As I write this he lists the opening of GOLD at $720.25 today…SILVER has jumped to $15.02 overnight. Platinum is at $1,288 and Palladium $400. Today he offers SWISS 20 FRANK coins and nothing else in coins less than 1 ounce. They just are not available.
He is also sold out of 1 ounce CHINESE PANDAS, CANADIAN MAPLE LEAFS and AUSTRALIAN KANGAROOS… they seem to be in very short supply too… Today US 90% Silver is now selling at $10.64….
The DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL AVERAGE could pass 11,711 at any time, but the DOLLAR is worth less than 1/2 it’s value since the first time it hit 11,700. For the economy to reach where it was in the first month of THE NEW MILLENNIUM the DJI would need to hit 23,400 and the NASDAQ about 8300. Neither will happen without some real serious hyper-inflation before the CRASH!!!!.
So….all we really need is what Paul told us to build with…GOLD, SILVER, and PRECIOUS STONES.
