16 But arise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, that I might appoint you to serve as [My] minister and to bear witness both to what you have seen of Me and to that in which I will appear to you,
17 Choosing you out [selecting you for Myself] and delivering you from among this [Jewish] people and the Gentiles to whom I am sending you—
18 To open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in Me.

Money is just Paper. It's an illusion of wealth. It's actually an IOU! A bill!

Without God to open our eyes to see correctly all we see, (in everything), is an illusion.
Coal, Oil, Rubber. Were the people of earth who were before us, 20th Century, ignorant of these things? No, they were not. They did not use them because they were wiser than us. God called them to keep things clean!
These items are the filth of the earth.
The waste products of the earth.
To use them is to bring death, destruction on the earth.
Air pollution, water pollution, food poisoned by them, men die seeking these things.

These items are an illusion of "good" of "benefit".
The truth is coal, rubber, oil: all bring man kind destruction.

They haven’t obeyed the laws of the Lord.
They haven’t done what he told them to do.
They’ve broken the covenant that will last forever.
6 So the Lord will send a curse on the earth.
Its people will pay for what they’ve done.
They will be burned up.
Very few of them will be left.
7 The vines and fresh wine will dry up completely.
Those who used to have a good time will groan.
8 The happy sounds of tambourines will be gone.
The noise of those who enjoy wild parties will stop.
The joyful music of harps will become silent.
9 People will no longer sing as they drink wine.
Beer will taste bitter to those who drink it.
10 Destroyed cities will lie empty.
People will lock themselves inside their houses.
11 In the streets people will cry out for wine.
All joy will turn into sadness.
All joyful sounds will be driven out of the earth.
12 All the buildings will be knocked down.
Every city gate will be smashed to pieces.
13 That’s how it will be on the earth.
And that’s how it will be among the nations.
It will be as when workers knock all but a few olives off the trees.
It will be like a vine that has only a few grapes left after the harvest.
People from the west will praise the Lord because he is the King.
15 So give glory to him, you who live in the east.
Honor the name of the Lord, you who are in the islands of the sea.
He is the God of Israel.
16 From one end of the earth to the other we hear singing.
People are saying,
“Give glory to the God who always does what is right.”
