Lessons from the Bog: False Security
I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. How blessed is the man ho has made the LORD his trust . . .”Ps 40:1-2, 4a

To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare with Him? As for the idol, a craftsman casts it, a goldsmity plates it with gold, and a silversmith fashions chains of silver. He who is too impoverished for such an offering selects a tree that does not rot; he seeks out for himself a skillful craftsman to prepare an idol that will not totter.Is 40:18-20 (More)

The first part of the process is to subject these precious metals to a furnace that heats them to their melting point. For gold this means a heat of more than 1948 F. The second part for gold is to subject the melted gold to a chemical process which refines it to 99.5% pure. (More)
