Mentions about Gold and Silver in the Bible
You shall not make anything to be with Me—gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves. (Exodus 20:23)
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold. (Proverbs 22:1)
How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding than silver. (Proverbs 16:16)
Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. (1 Peter 1:18-19)
‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the Lord of hosts.” (Haggai 2:8-10)
Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:6)
Also, the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland. (2 Chronicles 1:15)
Is this a prophecy about Gold and Silver prices?
For me, it was a persistent thought and fixation on silver – for a few years. I should ideally have asked the Lord, and he would have answered.
But since I was not diligent, I missed out on a great opportunity. However, I have a strong urge to provide the data for other Christians so they can benefit. The clouds point to the impending rain. So I would urge you to read articles and decide for yourself. There are plenty of videos on YouTube channel for you to explore and study and to form a studied response.
U.S. debt and what it means for Gold benefits
U.S. federal debt has climbed past $34 trillion, weakening confidence in paper currencies. When debt soars, investors look for assets outside the banking system, and gold is the classic choice, and that trend is only accelerating.
Today the U.S. Treasury still carries its 261 million-ounce gold reserve on the books at just $42.22 per ounce, even though market prices sit near $3,000/oz. If those reserves were ever “re-marked” to market value, it would instantly free up hundreds of billions of dollars and likely send gold prices even higher as that latent value is realized. The resulting surge could dwarf anything we’ve seen this decade.
Global tensions keep demand high
From renewed trade disputes to hotspots in Eastern Europe and Asia, the world now faces multiple flash points. Each new headline of instability sends investors running back to gold for protection. Exactly why gold is one the safest bets of this decade.
Adding to the demand, Central banks are still net buyers, as they added over 500 tons in the last 12 months alone, keeping official reserves at roughly 20% of global foreign-exchange holdings.
Gold’s strong 2025 performance
After climbing 26% year-to-date through mid-2025, easily beating stocks and bonds, powered by a softening dollar and whispers of upcoming rate cuts.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw assets under management jump 41% in the first half of the year, and daily trading volumes hit record highs as retail and institutional buyers piled in. This is an opportunity for you to seize the upside: The sooner you buy, the more upside you lock in.
Silver’s industrial engine and supply crunch
Unlike gold, silver wears two hats: it’s both a precious metal and an industrial input. In 2024, industrial demand reached a record 680.5 million ounces, driven especially by solar-panel manufacturing and the rollout of electric vehicles and 5G infrastructure.
Silver has run a five-year supply deficit, drawing down above-ground inventories by hundreds of millions of ounces. That structural shortfall puts steady upward pressure on prices.
In June 2025, silver pierced $35/oz, its highest level in over 13 years. Industrial forces are turning silver into one of the fastest-rising commodities of our time.
The Gold-Silver ratio
The gold-to-silver ratio (oz of silver needed to buy one oz of gold) fell from around 105 early in 2025 to about 94 by mid-year. A declining ratio typically signals that silver is beginning to catch up, offering more upside potential in percentage terms.
Why now? The perfect storm
With a perfect economic storm on the horizon, now is the ideal time to invest in these precious metals. Here’s an overview:
- Debt and Currency Risks: High U.S. and global debt levels undermine fiat currencies and gold is the traditional hedge.
- Geopolitical Headwinds: Continued tensions keep demand strong.
- Monetary Policy: With central banks hinting at rate cuts, the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold and silver falls.
- Industrial Growth: Silver’s role in clean-energy tech makes its demand curve far steeper than in past cycles.
Scarcity and Revaluation: Official gold reserves are wildly undervalued on government balance sheets. If market pricing ever “catches up,” the upside could be huge.
Act now! The opportunity won’t last forever
Gold shields you from currency collapse. Silver gives you growth from the green-tech revolution. Together, they form a rock-solid foundation for any investment strategy in 2025.
Don’t wait for the next geopolitical flare-up. The US government will never declare that Gold prices will increase on such and such a date. It will be done suddenly. When those hit, gold and silver prices could surge. Wiser option would be to allocate a slice of your portfolio today before the rest of the market catches on. Do this only if you are convinced and ready to take the blame and the praise.
Your next step: Pray and be led by the Holy Spirit. That’s the best first step. If you are still uncertain, talk to your advisor or purchase a small pilot position in gold and silver ETFs or bullion. Experience the financial security and growth potential that only these timeless metals can deliver.
Why am I writing this article on investing in Gold and Silver?
Given below are various key themes and arguments to invest now. I have had many thoughts about silver. Due to some reason, I had more thoughts about silver in the last 5 or more years. But I did not take myself seriously. I delayed and did not act. In July 2025, after losing 20% growth opportunity within less than a month, I have got up from my slumber.
Sometimes losing wakes us up, shakes us up. Having lost a good opportunity, I have become quick to obey.
Is loss always a good point to start learning?
Not required. When people know have backaches and health problems and experience death, I try to hear what the Lord says. Most often, He teaches. If you get to learn to benefit from others’ loss, follow the learning. As Christians, we benefit from the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We did not have to endure the cross. My life has changed since I have gone to greater acceptance of this reality to a stronger degree.
Remember silver and gold are not eternal riches. My greatest striving is for eternal riches. But I value silver and gold so that I treat them precious the eternal riches which none can steal and is not subject to any inflation.
A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold. (Proverbs 22:1 AMP)
