TempleCoin as World Reserve Currency as Leaders of the Sanhedrin told in 2020

We estimate there are 600 million Israelites worldwide.

One coin per year per capita will bring the wealth of the nations to Jerusalem.

Bildschirmfoto 2022-03-16 um 22.14.10.png

The reintroduction of silver as the world's reserve currency and the reinstatement of the biblical half-shekel

The order to produce the TempleCoin was received from the Sanhedrin back in 2021.

Silver and gold are each mentioned almost 300 times in the Bible.

Silver has been a common means of payment and value storage since Abraham and was officially officially calibrated in fixed sizes (Talent, Mine, Shekel, Kesita) early on. As a raw material, Siber is an indispensable consumable in electronics. Silver is therefore the solar pexus of the world financial system.

Gold and silver is the money given by God and an essential part of Israel's sowing and harvesting economy. Silver is used for the redemption of the firstborn, as a temple tax and for paying tithing in Jerusalem.

 

Fair weight, purity and fair trade are some of the most valuable spiritual trainings through silver from the Book of Books.

The Shekel is the classic accounting unit for various temple payments.

Abraham already knew the weight of the shekel, even if its weight has experienced deviations in the past 4000 years, which continue to this day.

In the Babylonian Empire, the weight of the shekel was approximately 5.6 g. Later in Roman antiquity, one shekel measured approximately 6.77 g.

In contrast, the circle of the First Generation of the Sanhedrin to be formed in Jerusalem worked with approx. 15.55g for one shekel, which is why they concluded the "half-shekel" as the required temple tax payment to be 7.77g. Reuven Prager, who collected almost 200,000 half-shekels in two decades, also assumed a weight of 7.77g for the half-shekel.

On Chabad.org, the official website of Chabad Lubavitch, you can find the following information: Maimonides writes (Laws of Shekalim 1:5) that the half shekel mentioned in the Torah - the annual contribution that every Jew had to pay to the Temple treasury - is equivalent to 160 grains of barley, which by modern standards is about eight grams of silver.

​​

We know from the Bible that 20 gerahs are a shekel, but today hardly anyone knows the weight of a gerah.

Under the Romans, an ounce had 4 shekels and weighed approximately 27.1 g. Today one troy ounce of silver has 31.1 g and a quarter of it is exactly 7.775 g.

2 dinars were 1 half-shekel and 4 dinars a shekel.

From all this and much more information, the fixed calibration weight of the shekel results for the priest according to the Melchizedek and Tempelcoin.org order:

1 Halfshekel = 1/4 Unze = 7.775g = 1 TempleCoin.

If the Bible refers to 1 shekel, this would be 2 TempleCoins, whereas for the 

Pidjon ha-Ben, the redemption of the firstborn, the actual half-shekel is due, the actual MachazitHaShekel, i.e. one TempleCoin.

​​

Other coin dimensions:

Our silver TempleCoin has a diameter of 25.5mm, which refers to the miracle date and birthday of the firstborn on 25.5.1967
The coin has a thickness of 1.45 mm, which commemorates the founding date of the State of Israel on 14.5.1948. There are always 145 days in the year until 25.5.

Only in a leap year is it 146 days (Trump's birthday 14.6.)

Furthermore: 7.775 g read backwards is the calculated jubilee year of Jerusalem 5777, in which the debt should have been canceled.

Our gold shekel has a depth of approx. 0.78mm.

In addition to the earliest biblical mentions of the payment of central purchase contracts with silver or gold, such as Abraham's purchase of the burial place of Machpelah or King David's purchase of today's Temple Mount, silver is also used to pay tithes and various other temple payments, such as the ransom of the firstborn or the annual temple tax.

"And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.

And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all."

Genesis 14, 18-20

"Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field brings forth year by year. And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest."

After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Great partnership of TempleCoin.org and the Nation of Ephraim with the Sanhedrin Initiative in Israel:

 

Through our Jewish heartfelt brother, Rabbi Yosef Edery of Chabad Lubavitch, we first made contact with the Sanhedrin Initiative in Israel, which he and other relevant Orthodox Jews support.

 

The Sanhedrin has accepted the TempleCoin as kosher payment for the Temple and actual MachhatzithaShekel and uses the TempleCoin and carries it all over the world.

We thank our Jewish brothers not only for persevering but also for making essential efforts for the restoration of the Kingdom.

TempleCoins for the Sanhedrin!

TempleCoin supports the re-establishment of the Sanhedrin after nearly 2000 years, for the installation of a fair court according to Torah and Prophets, to bring the promises of God to earth

After the failure of the first generation of various rabbis in Israel to establish a functional Sanhedrin,

we of the nation of Ephraim are grateful,

that Rabbi Yosef Edery of the Chabad Lubavitch has taken responsibility for this in the Holy Land and is already gathering judges and advisors to the Sanhedrin to build a functioning court according to Torah and Prophets,

because a fair court according to the Torah and the Prophets forms the basis

for the future and imminent 12-tribe kingdom of Israel.

Anyone can see the development of the Sanhedrin Initiative for themselves at https://www.mnglobal.org/.  We are additionally grateful to the Sanhedrin Initiative for their support in restoring our reputation in Germany after it has been severely damaged by years of anti-Semitic attacks against our non-Jewish community in Germany for the simple fact that we have worked for peace in Zion with our Jewish brethren.

Now that the newly elected Israeli government wants to be guided by the Torah and the Prophets, we are optimistic that a collection of 70 judges and 70 advisors for the Sanhedrin will proceed swiftly.

We are therefore 100% behind the Sanhedrin initiative of Rabbi Yosef Edery and his brothers.

IMG_2211.jpeg

The foundation for the historic business cooperation between Ephraim & Judah was laid with the acceptance of our TempleCoin by our brother Judah to establish the biblical payments for the House of God and all associated dues.

TempleCoin is proud that Rabbi Edery is already accepting voluntary contributions from us Israelites for the Sanhedrin Initiative, which are sent to the affiliated Temple Treasury in regular shipments to support the Geula process.

Another great expression of our business cooperation is that with every sale of SanMark shares of the Sanhedrin Initiative, 60% of the invested amount is delivered in TempleCoins so that the silver TempleCoins can be established as the world's reserve currency for the House of God.

You too can participate in the development of the Sanhedrin and the Ephraim National Gold & Silver Trust by donating a share to the Sanhedrin Initiative.

You can order either the 80/20 or the 20/20 share.

In the 20/20 Share, 60% of your total will be delivered in TempleCoins. 20% goes to the Sanhedrine Initiative and 20% to the continued development of the Ephraim National Gold & Silver Trust.

In the 80/20 share, 80% of your investment will go to the Sanhedrin Initiative and 20% will go to the further development of the Ephraim National Gold & Silver Trust and TempleCoin.org to finance the next economic steps.

NEW COVENANT between Ephraim and Judah

"Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,

not like the covenant that I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the LORD.

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

And no one will teach his neighbor, nor brother to brother, saying, "Know the LORD." For they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." - Jeremiah 31:31-34

TempleCoin.org is proud of the historical cooperation with
Rabbi Yosef Edery of the Chabad Lubavitch in the Golan in the Holy Land, who accepts our TempleCoins as sacrifice of the Israelites for the necessary work on the house of God. 

With that, Ephraim and Judah go into the concrete partnership for Hashems Business on 9.9.2022,

We will also send your shekel to Rabbi Edery to build
the 12 tribes kingdom of Israel. 
Your support for building the Sanhedrin is an important step in this direction.

Price changes possible depending on the silver price

Optionally, you can write the name of your mother (first name is enough) in the purchase order for 10 euros extra, then after handing over the coins in Israel, the rabbi will say a special Hasidic prayer for you.

Please note: The temple tax for the annual census of the Israelites by way of a silver TempleCoin for the redemption of your soul is to be distinguished from this and you can do this here:

This page is for general support of the Sanhedrin beyond the Count of the Israelites.

We give the silver payments to Rabbi Yosef Edery of Chabad Lubavitch, for his efforts to build the Sanhedrin and create the necessary conditions for the contemporary requirements of the Geula process. We see in Rabbi Yosef Edery the appropriate representative sent by Hashem for the House of Judah to jointly advance the development of the New Covenant between Ephraim and Judah.

 

At the end of the process of the Geula, after the determination of the king, the exile of Amalek, the construction of the Third Temple as the House of God is then finally planned in order to re-establish the 12-tribe kingdom.

Then the Messiah will also be known.

 

We will take care of everything so that your coins arrive in Israel.

The Sanhedrin is the highest Jewish court that handed Jesus over to the Romans 2000 years ago and has to be reconstituted to establish the restoration of the kingdom and the building of the Third Temple.

Various payments for priestly services are stipulated in the Torah, such as the ransom of the firstborn, payment of tithes in the case of agricultural success or other specific cases.

Of course, Zadaka, as a concept of righteous charity to improve the world through giving and good deeds, is also fulfilled when you send your TempleCoin to Jerusalem as payment for the land, the priests, God and his temple to be built, so that the blessings of the country to get back to you.

Anyone can book their TempleCoin here in a collective delivery, and at regular festivals we will forward the TempleCoins to Jerusalem, stating your name and the name of your mother. (Please also write your mothers name in the purchase order.) 

Of course you can book your payment as a donation to the community of heirs Jakob eV.

"All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place , even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

A bekah for every man, that is , half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men ."

2. Mose 38, 24-26

..the Payments of Hashem..

In addition to the classic Tithe, there are a variety of individual payment offers for very specific and concrete occasions, some of which we list on this page.

The classic tithe, on the other hand, refers to the 10th part of the agricultural income that is to be paid each year to the Levites, who are appointed by God as priestly temple servants and have no other income themselves.

In some parts of the Torah, God also writes about the 5th part, i.e. 20% of the wealth gained during the year.
 
Here, 10% would be for the temple and 10% for the priest. This applies instead of taxes and interest, for which well over 90% of your income is required today.

The Torah was given to Moses and the children of Israel to live by. Even if the Torah is somewhat unpopular today, God has laid down simple rules there which, if you keep to them, are given to you for the best. Also, as far as God's easy payments are concerned, God does not want to hit you over the head with your pocketbook, because a worldwide establishment of the Torah is tantamount to the elimination of taxes and interest, which comes from the Roman system.

In return, God asks you in the Torah to test him to see whether your gift required in the Bible comes back to you in excess. In other words: if you keep to the Torah, the flourishing upswing in your life can hardly be prevented.

Maleachi 3,10: "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it ."

In addition to the individual and concrete payment commandments, money is used in the Torah for many reasons. Be it out of gratitude for grace received, gifts on various occasions, purchase contracts, redemption, debt payments and much more.

An important basis for understanding is that the Hebrew word "כסף" (=Kesev), which stands for MONEY in the Torah, means SILVER in the exact translation.

 

So whenever the Torah talks about money, it really means silver!

Basically, Deuteronomy 25:13-16: "You shall not have two kinds of weights in your bag, a large and a small. You shall not have two kinds of ephah in your house, a large and a small. You shall have a full weight and a just weight, and an ephah full and a just weight, so that you may prolong your days in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. For everyone who does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God, everyone who does iniquity."

According to our calibration, one TempleCoin corresponds to the biblical half-shekel.

Whenever the Torah mentions a shekel, it is 2 TempleCoins.

More about the calibration of our TempleCoin:

In addition to the general tithe, which is to be paid in silver, there are the following mentions of payments, be it in sales contracts or bids for specific individual payments:

Abraham buys the Cave of Machpelah

"Abraham listened to Ephron and weighed out to him the sum he had named in the hearing of the Hittites, four hundred shekels of silver, according to the weight that was customary in trade. So Ephron's field in Machpelah, opposite Mamre, became Abraham's property."

Although Jacob actually wants to go to Bethel, he stays in Shechem and buys a piece of land there for 100 kesita (about 400 shekels).

"And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and encamped before the city. And he bought the piece of land where he had pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of gold. And he set up an altar there, and called its name, God, the God of Israel.

David buys the threshing floor of Ornan, today's Temple Mount

Hole_King_David_Threshing.jpg

David is to build an altar on the threshing floor of Ornan, the place where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac, to avert a plague against Israel

"And David said to Ornan, 'Give me the place of the threshing floor, that I may build an altar on it to the LORD. You shall give it to me for the full price, so that the plague may be averted from the people.'" Ornan said to David, 'Take it. My lord the king, do what is good in his eyes. Behold, I am giving the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for firewood, and the wheat for the grain offering—all these I will give.' But King David said to Ornan, 'No, but I will buy it for the full price. For I will not take what is yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings for nothing.'" So David gave Ornan for the place, worth 600 shekels of gold.

annual payment or counting

Instead of a direct census of the Israelites, the census should be done indirectly through the payment of a piece of silver on an annual basis.

"When they are numbered, each one shall pay a half-shekel—according to the weight of the holy place, 20 gerahs of a shekel—as a contribution to the Lord. Everyone 20 years old and older who is numbered shall pay this contribution to the Lord. The rich shall not give more, nor the poor less, than half a shekel as a ransom for his life."

"You shall take five shekels a head; according to the shekel of the sanctuary you shall take them, the shekel of twenty gerahs."

"The Lord said to Moses, "Give the Israelites the following instructions: 'When a man vows to dedicate a person to the Lord, he must pay the corresponding amount and redeem him. Set the amount as follows: A man between 20 and 60 years old is worth 50 shekels of the sanctuary; a woman of the same age is worth 30. A boy between five and 20 years old is worth 20 shekels, and a girl of the same age is worth 10. A boy between one month and five years old is worth 5 shekels, and a girl of the same age is worth 3. A man over 60 is worth 15 shekels, and a woman of the same age is worth 10.'"

“Offer praise to God, and pay your vows to the Most High” (Psalm 50:14)

Because God knows our loose tongue and how quickly we make vows to God, whether out of necessity or gratitude, He has established payments in Leviticus 27 in case someone wants to buy himself out of his vow because he is unable to keep it for various reasons. The purpose of these payments is to ensure that one does not make vows to God lightly, which are then not kept.

The payments for redeeming one's own vows are divided according to age and gender, and a distinction is made between ability and entitlement.
Different people have different abilities to perform services and can be assessed differently here, but in terms of rights everyone is equal before the law, "regardless of whether old or young, poor or rich".

Leviticus 27:3: "If your estimation is for a man from twenty years old even up to sixty years old, then your estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary."

Leviticus 27:4: "If it is a woman, then the estimation shall be thirty shekels."

Leviticus 27:5. "And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be for the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels."

Leviticus 27:6: "And if it is from a month old even to five years old, then the estimation of a male shall be five shekels of silver, and the estimation of a female shall be three shekels of silver."

Leviticus 27:7: "And if it be sixty years old and above, then the estimation shall be for a male fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels."

If someone considers himself too poor to make these just payments, he is judged by grace and must appear before the priest:

Leviticus 27:8: "And if the one who has made the vow is too poor to be valued, then he shall be brought before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to the hand of the one who has made the vow shall the priest value him."

Blessing:

"And Isaac sowed in that land, and gained an hundredfold that year; and the LORD blessed him.
And the man became rich and grew richer until he was very rich." Genesis 26:11+12

Treason:

"Then Judah said to his brothers, 'What profit is it that we kill our brother and cover his blood? Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not our hand be on him, for our brother is our flesh he! And his brothers listened to it.
Then Midianite men, traders, passed by, and they pulled him out and brought Joseph up from the cistern. And they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt." Genesis 37:26-28
