- Silver is the beginning Words,
- Gold is the Finished Words.
Gold is used for enabling us to separate the knowledge of Light from Darkness. That is the work of the 1st Spirit of God – the Spirit of the Lord (see Isaiah 11:2 for a list of the 7 Spirits of God).
That means its work is to set us apart in the Light and enable the Holy Spirit to hover over us and it puts a “Garment” of knowledge around us, and if we will notice the Lord, the Garment of the Elect is white and adorned with fine linen, and if we are sent like the Lord, then He will adorn His Wise ones with a gold belt that girds His Garment.
For us to put on a gold belt, it does nothing for us. But, if it is given by the Lord for Good Works, then it has the authority of His Word “Gold”, and that has power and authority, for the belt is of God for Good Works to the Glory of His Kingdom. It is the putting on a Gold Belt for the intent to grow in the power and authority of enabling Good Works for others that the Mystery of Good Gold is found.
- Using it to surround the area of the trees giving Good Fruit is a wise use of Gold.
- Using it to do God’s instruction, such as its use in the Temple and Temple Garments, is a wise use of Gold.
- Adorning fixtures in personal property for the purpose of revealing your prosperity of earthly riches, is a very unwise use of Gold in these days of the Separation Judgment.
It is likely that the wise Magi of the Way of the East would have been guided to provide the Lord to have gold powder to drink so that He would grow in knowledge of Good. This is like drinking colloidal gold. They may have also gave gold for his care, such as to go to Egypt until the evil King Herod died.
You can see that this being the work of the 1st Spirit of God is confirmed in Genesis 2:11-12, that is in the description of the Lord’s four rivers (Ways of His Four Spirits) that He caused to come from out of the One River that was in the Garden of Eden. This went out to water all the lands of the Garden of Eden that He created in “the Way of the East”. This has the meaning that He created the Garden of Eden in the Way of the Gardens that are in the Kingdom of Heaven. Those Gardens respond and spring forth when cared for by those doing the Ways of His set apart Holy Words that have His Great Promises within Them.
Note that the Gold of the land is not for wealth, but for doing the Good Works of God. Man has been using gold only for prosperity which does not receive and reward blessings of the Good Works for the Way of Gold. (For example, Solomon’s Temple didn’t have a vault loaded with gold for wealth. Instead, the gold was used for adorning the symbols of God such as the large gold menorahs on the marble walls, etc. Yet, Solomon and his people were very wealthy.)
1st Spirit of God – Gold – This Spirit is always Watching – Hovers over the face of all people and divides the Waters (All peoples) into either Light or Darkness according to their obedience in keeping His Words.
Way of Peace
Gold is symbolic of the knowledge of the Way of Peace – as the Gold of the New City of Jerusalem that men will enter after the 7,000 years bears witness to in Revelation 21, for the entire city and buildings are made of perfectly pure clear gold.
Revelation 21 – New City of Jerusalem
Revelation 21:1-27 (NKJV)- All Things Made New
21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
The New Jerusalem
9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me[f] and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”[g] 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy[h] Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
The Glory of the New Jerusalem
22 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
