Pray this Lazaroo with utter abandon:
“He overlaid the inside with six hundred talents of fine gold.”
(2 Chronicles 3:8)
That’s a lot of gold, Jesus.
23 tons.
Wow.
And no ordinary gold.
Fine gold.
The current price of gold is $1,683 per ounce
There are 32,000 ounces in a ton.
So Solomon overlaid the inside of Your Most Holy Place
in Your Temple in Jerusalem with
with 1 billion
238 million
688 thousand dollars worth of gold.
A little chintzy…but I guess that’s the best he could do.
