Hi Godfearer Is this where we are headed? World economic collapse seems like it is right on our doorstep, and it may very well be, but let it come, because God is on our side. We don't know the times or seasons. We just need to strengthen, by faith, our relationship with Jesus. Soshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon It was the principal silver coin of the Roman empire. From the parable of the labourers in the vineyard, it would seem that a denarius was then the ordinary pay for a day's wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
