^^^ The question is, why is gold so valuable? Is it the vanity of its luster? Is it that it has some technical uses that few people know about? Is it that, like the Revelation says, that if you purify it perfectly it becomes like transparent glass? Is it that if you 'eat' nano-gold it will extend your life for a hundred years?

Probably, at the rate this world is going, there won't be another hundred years. However, God can do whatever He wants. And He often surprises us with things that we never expected.

Is God going to show us a new and better use for gold, one that we will wish that we had some gold for?
