Executive Summary
The Third Temple Shekel (TTS) was created and issued on February 11, 2025, by partners of Gershon Salomon, who hold the majority custody of the total 1 billion TTS supply. This currency will be donated to the Third Temple on behalf of the Temple Mount Faithful, honoring Gershon Salomon for his efforts alongside countless partners worldwide to fulfill this mission.
The TTS aims to unify Jews and Christians in both faith and finance, serving as a digital currency for tithes and offerings within churches and synagogues. By establishing TTS as the currency of the Kingdom of God, this initiative seeks to create a financial ecosystem that empowers participating Jewish and Christian institutions, enhances community engagement, and stabilizes the currency through strategic purpose, management, and stewardship.
Introduction
The Third Temple Shekel is rooted in the belief that faith can be harmonized with financial stewardship. Churches and synagogues will function as storehouses, collecting and managing TTS to foster community support and spiritual growth.
The Role of Churches and Synagogues as Storehouses
Storehouse Reserve Functionality
Collection of TTS: Churches and synagogues will set up digital wallets to accept TTS donations from congregants.
Religious Institutional Custodians: These institutions will manage donated TTS effectively, ensuring it benefits the broader community of believers in God’s Kingdom.
Investment Opportunities: Religious institutions can choose to invest TTS in church projects, community initiatives, or hold it for future appreciation, thus influencing overall market demand.
Use Cases for Collecting and Distributing TTS
Community Projects: Churches can use TTS to fund local outreach programs, food banks, or educational initiatives, thereby enhancing community welfare and driving demand.
Mission Support: Congregations can donate TTS to missions and charitable efforts globally, facilitating international outreach while strengthening community ties.
Event Hosting: Churches may host events or conferences that accept TTS as a form of registration or donation, creating an immediate use case for the currency.
Micro-loans: Churches could offer micro-loans to community members in need, using TTS, thus fostering a culture of mutual support and responsible financial management.
Community Impact
Local Economic Growth: By functioning as local storehouses, religious institutions can stimulate economic activity within their communities through their financial decisions.
Financial Education: By managing TTS, congregants will gain insights into financial stewardship, fostering a culture of responsible giving and investment.
Centralized Management of TTS
Central Bank Model: The Third Temple
Central Bank Function: The Third Temple will hold the majority of TTS, acting as a central bank to regulate and stabilize the currency.
Monetary Policy: The Temple can manage the supply of TTS to maintain price stability and ensure that demand remains high.
Price Dynamics of TTS
Demand from Congregations: As churches and synagogues encourage congregants to donate TTS, demand will increase, driving up the price.
Limited Supply: By controlling the total supply of TTS, the Third Temple can prevent inflation and maintain currency value.
The Role of External Markets
Trading TTS: Churches may choose to sell TTS to cover operational costs, introducing TTS into the wider market and creating a trading ecosystem.
Speculative Investments: As awareness and adoption of TTS grow, speculative investments could drive price volatility, necessitating careful monitoring by the Third Temple.
Financial Supremacy through Unity
TTS as a Unifying Currency
Bridging Faiths: By creating a shared currency, TTS aims to build a stronger relationship between Jewish and Christian communities.
Global Reach: As TTS gains traction, it can facilitate international donations, allowing religious institutions to expand their reach and impact.
Collective Strength: By pooling resources and investments, churches and synagogues can achieve a stronger financial position than acting independently.
Community Resilience: A unified financial system can provide stability during economic downturns, as congregations support one another by continuing to donate to their churches and synagogues.
Conclusion
The Third Temple Shekel represents a bold initiative to merge faith and finance, creating a sustainable currency that fosters community growth and stability. By establishing churches and synagogues as financial custodians and leveraging the centralized management of the Third Temple, TTS has the potential to create a robust financial ecosystem that empowers religious communities. The anticipated increase in demand for TTS, coupled with a strategic approach to its management and distribution, positions this initiative as a transformative force at the intersection of faith and finance.
