The US (World) Debt is 99.62% of the World’s Wealth and Impossible to Pay Off
Joshua 6:24: GOD’S Treasury Only Collects Silver, Gold, Bronze, and Iron:
Per Joshua 6:24 after GOD destroyed the city of Jericho via Joshua’s faith, “…they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into The Treasury of The House of THE LORD.” Per this verse, only silver, gold, bronze, and iron hold value in The Treasury of The House of THE LORD used to fund the construction of HIS Temple in Jerusalem.
Therefore, GOD’S Standand of Earth’s wealth is measured by the value of silver, gold, bronze, and iron.
