Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Mat 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.

Mat 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

Mat 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

Mat 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Mat 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

Mat 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.

Mat 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Mat 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.

Mat 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

Mat 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

Mat 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

Mat 18:34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

Mat 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

So How Much is Ten Thousand talents in Todays Money.

This was an extremely hard thing to try to compute.

We have some good source material like the complete works of Josephus.

William Whiston translated it and added dissertations and appendixes

One has a table of Jewish weights and measures.

William Whiston calculated a Talent of Gold to be 648 English pounds in 1750 or so.

http://www.miketodd.net/index.htm

In the 18th century, the pound was fixed to a Gold Standard, So The monetary standard stayed nearly constant.

Then Britain then abandoned it, only to go back in 1821.

Then, at the outbreak of war, World War I, in 1914 Britain went to paper money.

Starts in 1915, showing that there was some stability up to 1919, with the pound worth around $4.70 in U.S. Dollars.

SO 648 X 4.70

3045.6

On December 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve Act, also known as the Glass-Owen Bill, was passed.

Interesting Note:

In 1913 law

SEC. 25.Any national banking association possessing a capital and surplus of 1 Million dollars or more may file application with the Federal Reserve Board

Took Currency from things of value to Paper.

So they took the currency from Gold and silver, nickel, copper, etc.

And Made a Monopoly on Printing pathetic paper currency. Don’t get any wet or it will look counterfeit!

Add at least four zeros for a Small penalty going to this different standard.

Roughly three hundred million.

In Mathew 18 God compared to Good king that forgives his servant 10,000 talents.

We have been trying to Figure out what ONE Talent would be.

An Easy way to multiply by 10,000 is add four zeros.

304,560,000 Three hundred million

Add four zeros.

3,045,600,000,000 Three trillion

I found a Great Website that has detailed values comparisons

http://www.measuringworth.com/uscompare/

In 2013, the relative value of $3,045,600,000,000 Three trillion from 1915 ranges from $51,200,000,000,000 51 trillion To $1,310,000,000,000,000

One thousand three hundred trillion.

So Lets take the average

Basically seven hundred trillion

We can go into the simple purchasing power value or

compare the more accurate cost or value of a

Commodity ,

Income or Wealth ,

or a Project

A simple Purchasing Power Calculator would say the relative value is $72,800,000,000,000.00. This answer is obtained by multiplying $3045600000000 by the percentage increase in the CPI from 1915 to 2013.

This may not be the best answer.

The best measure of the relative value over time depends on if you are interested in comparing the cost or value of a Commodity , Income or Wealth , or a Project . For more discussion on how to pick the best measure, read the essay "Explaining the Measures of Worth."

If you want to compare the value of a $3,045,600,000,000.00 Commodity in 1915 there are four choices. In 2013 the relative:

real price of that commodity is $72,800,000,000,000.00

real value of that commodity is $145,000,000,000,000.00

labor value of that commodity is $298,000,000,000,000.00(using the unskilled wage) or $425,000,000,000,000.00(using production worker compensation)

income value of that commodity is $416,000,000,000,000.00

If you want to compare the value of a $3,045,600,000,000.00 Income or Wealth , in 1915 there are four choices. In 2013 the relative:

historic standard of living value of that income or wealth is $72,800,000,000,000.00

contemporary standard of living value of that income or wealth is $145,000,000,000,000.00

economic status value of that income or wealth is $416,000,000,000,000.00

economic power value of that income or wealth is $1,310,000,000,000,000.00

If you want to compare the value of a $3,045,600,000,000.00 Project in 1915 there are four choices. In 2013 the relative:

historic opportunity cost of that project is $51,200,000,000,000.00

contemporary opportunity cost of that project is $145,000,000,000,000.00

labor cost of that project is $298,000,000,000,000.00(using the unskilled wage) or $425,000,000,000,000.00(using production worker compensation)

economy cost of that project is $1,310,000,000,000,000.00

Thats A lot!!

For visual reference, Here is only 1 trillion dollars in One Hundred Dollar Bills.

A 747 is behind, the white house is on the left and a billboard is left of the 747.

The 747 used to be the biggest commercial jet liner. There are two people in front.

That’s a whole lot of cash!

So God has forgiven us More than the National Debt.

Another thing to look at is the Beauty in his Creation.

God has blessed us with an amazing creation.

However have you ever looked up it night lately?

There are a lot of stars up there.

In fact, According to UniverseToday.com

http://www.universetoday.com/102630/how-many-stars-are-there-in-the-universe/

Just looking at the number of known stars, there are over 142 trillion

stars for every person on earth.

So if there are 7 billion people on earth and 142 trillion stars per person

That gives us a septillion stars, 10 followed by 24 zeros.

Our sun is a big star and we get light from it to grow food.

So for comparison, lets say a star is worth 1000 Federal Reserve Bank Notes.

Then the value of the known stars would be 10 followed by 27 zeros!

So The Pictured amount of money can go into the value for the known stars one followed by fifteen zeros!

And this number of stars is always going up.

(Like those Talents, and many ounces today, in Gold and Silver should be,

If there were not all kinds of crazy manipulation.)

Back to Stars.

The number of Stars has gone up exponentially.

In 2007 The Best number from PHD Doc. Kent Hovind Was 11 trillion per person on Earth.

So even trying their hardest the Federal Reserve, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, etc. Fall Way short. They will never be as good at Printing Pathetic Paper monopoly money, Much Much less, Make Mind boggling numbers of Incredible

stars as God.

More on those Stars. There are so many but We have never seen one form.

In Fact There are not even any Theories How a Star could even possibly form.

Here Is a Video Excerpt From Kent Hovind. On Creation Evolution, Stars, etc.

But I am against poison mixed in with the science, That's all. Here is a first grade textbook. 

This is what they tell the kids in the first grade. Earth has changed much since its formation four and a half billion years ago. Now just hold on a minute.

Is the earth four and a half billion years old? No, as we'll see in a minute. But if you tell that to a first grader, he's going to believe you.

First graders believe everything you tell them. They believe bananas are moldy spider legs. I did.

And they tell them again in the second grade.

Since its formation 4.5 billion years ago, earth has changed. Down at the bottom it says: "Life too, has evolved on earth."

This word "evolved" is a very tricky word.

I've done over 90 debates and about 7,000 radio and TV call-in talk shows, and I've learned how to win the debate on evolution in the first five minutes.

It is so easy. If somebody says, "Do you believe in evolution?" I say, "What do you mean?" "Well, you know, evolution."

"No, which one are you talking about?" There are six meanings for the word. Are we talking about cosmic evolution- evolution of time, space, matter? I don't believe in that, with the big bang. We'll talk about that in a minute.

Are we talking about chemical evolution? Because according to the big bang theory, the big bang produced hydrogen, and maybe some helium.

Then how did we get all these other elements? Do you want me to believe uranium evolved from hydrogen?

They'll say, well yes, you have fusion in stars. Yes, but you can't fuse past IRON (Fe) very well.

Besides, you have a chicken and an egg problem here, because the stars have to make the elements, and the elements have to make the stars. Which one came first?

Which brings up, of course, stellar evolution. How did the stars form?

Did you know that nobody has ever seen a star form?

Scientists don't even have a clue how a star could form- not even any good theories about star formation (more about that in video #7).

We see stars blow up all the time. It's called a nova, or a super nova if it is a big one. That happens all the time. But we never see one form.

And yet there are enough stars out there that we know about that everybody on planet earth, every single individual, can personally own 11 trillion stars to themselves.

Those are the ones we know about. We don't know about the ones that we don't know about.

Fourthly, there would have to be organic evolution, origin of life. Life would have to be started from non-living material.

Nobody has a clue how that could happen. Then we would have to have what's called macroevolution.

That's where an animal changes to a different kind of animal.

Did you know that nobody has ever seen a dog produce a non-dog? Never!

You may get a big dog, or a little dog, but you are going to get a dog every time. And it could be that the dog, the wolf, and the coyote had a common ancestor.

I wouldn't argue about that - they probably did. But every five-year-old kid knows they're the same kind of animal. I'll show you.

Is anybody in here five or six? Who is five or six years old? Anybody?

OK. How old are you, buddy? Six? I want you to take a test.

Here we have a dog, a wolf, a coyote, and a banana.

Which one is different than the rest of them?

The banana! Give him a hand! All right, very good!

We have college professors that can't figure that out! I'll tell you want I want you to do.

When we are done, I want you to go out to the table out in the hallway, and you can pick out any free video or DVD you want, OK?

We've got a bunch of videos and DVDs about dinosaurs and stuff out there.

The Bible says the animals are going to bring forth after their kind. Now Charlie Darwin wrote a book on the table down here called "Origin of Species." See, the dog and the wolf are the same kind of animal but different species.

He fooled everybody by changing the word from "kind" to "species."

We'll talk more about that in video #4. Lastly, we have what is called microevolution.

This is changes within the kinds. Now that one happens. I'll go along with number six.

I think animals can produce a whole variety of offspring: long hair, short hair, long legged, short legged; that happens.

But the first five are purely religious. That's not science.

We never observe any of those! So if you want to win the debate on evolution, simply define exactly what you are talking about.

And you'll find all they ever give are examples of number six, which there is no argument about. It happens.

But then they'll imply that that is somehow, magically, evidence for the other five. And it is not.

The teachers are taught though to be sure to stress to the students that the earth is billions of years old.

Make sure the kids believe this. You know, I happen to be a little old fashioned.

I think in science class, we should be teaching science.

Now Lets Talk about a real Money maker King Solomon.

Solomon had Hid dad David prepare, Preserve, Build, etc. The Kingdom.

And David was a Man After God’s own Heart.

So Some credit goes there.

Lets Compare Who is Richer Solomon or computer Mongol Bill Gates.

I don' t like Bill Gates so here is a little know mug shot of him. Horrible fashion sense!!!

Excerpts of Article from solomonsuccess.com

Everyone knows King Solomon’s wealth surpassed anything the ancient world had seen but was he richer than the world’s current richest man, Microsoft founder Bill Gates? Right now, Gates net worth is estimated at around $40 billion. To his credit, he’s signed a pledge to distribute computers to Third World countries. That aside, let’s take a hypothetical look at the numbers between the two men.

Josephus and the Bible mention King Solomon’s yearly salary at 666 talents of gold per year. One talent of gold equals 34.5 kg, which converts to 1109 troy ounces. A ballpark current value of gold is $1275 per ounce. Multiply that out and the King’s salary was about nearly a billion dollars per year. Very impressive. Very impressive indeed. Multiply that by the 40 years he was king and you end up with... $40 billion. That’s just salary!

But King Solomon’s wealth would not be complete without accounting for the other property and assets he owned. Horses, land, etc. Plus, we’re figuring that if he was investing by Biblical principles and had God’s voice in his ear, his return on investment would have been a healthy one. Just taking a wild guess, it

seems like the King could have been the owner of a net worth that could easily

have translated into What Today?

So King Solomon according to this... is a hundred and thirteen times richer than Bill Gates.

While we’re pretty sure he got no royalties for having authored parts of the Bible, and he did have 700 wives under his care, which surely must have been a serious drain on his budget, but the guy was doing alright, even by today’s standards.

So Ten Thousand Talents is More Then The National debt.

Ten Thousnand Tallents is about 700 Trillion

One Trillion is more money the we know what to do with.

Remember that Huge Picture.

The Federal Reserve will never be as good at Printing Pathetic Paper money, much much less at creating Incredible Stars as God has.

A real Money maker King Solomon in much richer by far then a biz leader Bill Gates.
