The ownership is clear: “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” (Psalm 24:1; NIV)
Why does all the gold belong to God? He created it: “The gold of that land is good …” (Genesis 2:12; NIV)
And God, therefore, also says this: “‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” (Haggai 2:8; NIV)
