Gold has an impurity in it (or flaw) that gives it its color. But it is actually clear once this impurity is removed.
Gold can be beaten into a transparent gold foil (0.00013 mm thick) over 500 times thinner than a human hair. Dentistry uses about 7% of the gold produced. Here it is alloyed with other metals (such as copper, silver, platinum and palladium) for restorations, partial dentures, bridges and inlays.
Who's in town?
Two, three, four
Eins, zwei drei
Na, es is nix dabei
Na, wenn ich Euch erzähl' die G'schicht'
Nichts desto trotz,
Ich bin es schon gewohnt
Im TV-Funk da läuft es nicht. -
Jah, sie war jung,
Das Herz so rein und weiß
Und jede Nacht hat ihren Preis,
Sie sagt: "Sugar Sweet,
Jah' got me rapp'in to the heat!"
Ich verstehe, sie ist heiß,
Sie sagt:"Baby, you know,
I miss my funky friends,"
Sie meint Jack und Joe und Jill.
Mein Funkverständnis,
Ja, das reicht zur Not,
Ich überreiss', was sie jetzt will. -
Ich überleg' bei mir,
Ihr' Nas'n spricht dafür,
Währenddessen ich noch rauch',
Die Special Places sind ihr wohlbekannt,
Ich mein', sie fährt ja U-Bahn auch.
Dort singen's:
"Dreh' Dich nicht um, schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um!
Er wird Dich anschau'n
und du weißt warum.
Die Lebenslust bringt Dich um."
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
Hey man, wanna buy some stuff, man?
Did you ever rap that thing Jack?
So rap it to the beat!
Wir treffen Jill and Joe
Und dessen Bruder hip
Und auch den Rest der coolen Gang
Sie rappen hin, sie rappen her
Dazwischen Kratzen's ab die Wänd'. -
Dieser Fall ist klar,
Lieber Herr Kommissar,
Auch wenn sie and'rer Meinung sind:
Den Schnee auf dem wir alle
Talwärts fahr'n,
Kennt heute jedes Kind.
Jetzt das Kinderlied:
"Dreh Dich nicht um, schau, schau,
der kommissar geht um!
Er hat die Kraft und wir sind klein und dumm
dieser Frust macht uns Stumm."
"Dreh Dich nicht um, schau, schau,
der Kommissar geht um!
Wenn er Dich anspricht
und du weißt warum,
Sag ihm
Dein Leb'n bringt Dich um.
God?? Is this you?
Nice try zealot.
'Gold can be fired by a potter into clays to produce exquisitely beautiful porcelain or glass.'
This describes the effect of particles of gold mixing with a silicon-based substance, creating a prismatic and light-enhancing type of porcelain.
Gold in it's pure form is only transparent in gas or plasma form, and neither of those are suitable to walk on (and both rather lethal).

But God is God and He can make gold both transparent and capable of sustaining enormous weight. Did you forget? God made everything that you see from nothing....
Matthew 19:26
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Jeremiah 32:17
‘Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.
I did not forget that message, but I choose to doubt it's content.
God is God so he can alter whatever he wants? Turn Coke into Pepsi, make pigs fly and make hell freezing over?
Rather easy ain't it, dismissing the responsibility of every good or bad event to some vague (and unproved) entity in any way that suits you.
Don't you ever get the feeling that you yourself could make more out of life if you were without this blinding faith?

2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please Him , for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Renditions of New Jerusalem. New Jerusalem will be relocated to earth one day.[B]Revelation 21:21
The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass .This is going to be my new hometown for eternity.
The entire city in Heaven (it is called New Jerusalem) is pure gold (transparent like glass) and it is surrounded by a wall made of jasper. The foundations of New Jerusalem are twelve precious stones (jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth, and amethyst). Some are depicted here.Revelation 21:18-20
18 The construction of its wall was of jasper ; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass . 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.The Bible does not really describe what Heaven looks like but it does describe what the Heavenly city, New Jerusalem, looks like. Heaven is not this city, but the city is a subset of Heaven. Heaven is perhaps a planet. The Bible does not say that so I will just stick to the Bible's description of New Jerusalem.
The jasper wall of New Jerusalem is 600 feet high, its length 1500 miles, and its width 1500 miles. I got one word to describe this: Wow! Amazing! Huge! I can't wait! Sorry, folks for getting a little carried away. New Jerusalem is half the distance of the United States, and it is a city! There isn't a city this large in the universe. God truly is omnipotent or Almighty. The sheer power it took to create a city of this magnitude astounds me.
1 Timothy 2:3-4,
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men [i.e. people] to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”Romans 10:13,
“‘For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord [Jesus Christ] shall be saved.’”John 14:1-3,
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God [i.e. the Father], believe also in Me [i.e. Jesus Christ]. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”[Matthew 11:28-30
Come to Me [i.e. Jesus Christ], all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”Revelation 22:17
And the Spirit [i.e. God] and the bride [i.e. the church] say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. [/B]
Jesus is coming to catch away (i.e. rapture) His people soon!
