Pure Gold - Gold is the most highly valued metal in the world, in all cultures. Its

beauty and usefulness is unsurpassed by any other. It has been known and usedsince prehistoric times, and its value has never wavered.** Gold is indestructible. Being completely non-reactive, it will not rust, corrode,or tarnish. It is 100% recyclable, and is regularly used in medical, industrial, andelectrical applications. It is highly ductile (meaning it can be drawn into a very thinthread), and is so malleable that one ounce of Gold can be beaten into 300square feet of Gold Leaf. It can be rolled out so thin that light will shine through it.Its primary color is yellow, but is also sometimes found in black, red, and purple.

Heaven measures 12000 furlongs in length and breadth and height. A furlong is

one eigth of a mile so heaven would by a cube 1500 miles on a face or3,375,000,000 cubic miles or 17,820,000,000,000 cubic feet. If you consider thatthe average American home is about 1500 square feet and has 8 foot ceilings wecan say that the average American home is 12,000 cubic feet. So heaven isabout the size of 1,485,000,000. If we say that the average American family isfive people, we could fit about 7,245,000,000 (7.245 billion) people into heaven.
