Read this
fascinating history of the $1 bill –
all the
way to the bottom to know about
Haym Solomon.
You
may be in for quite a
surprise!
On the rear
of the One Dollar bill, you will see two circles. Together, they comprise the
Great Seal of the United States.
The
First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men
come up with a Seal. It took
them four years
to accomplish this task and another two
years to get it
approved.
If you look at the
left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.
Notice the
face is lighted, and the western side is dark.
This country was
just beginning. We had not begun to
explore the west
or decided what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped,
again signifying that
we were not even
close to being finished. Inside the
Capstone you
have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol
for divinity. It
was Franklin 's belief that one man couldn't
do it alone, but
a group of men, with the help of God, could
do
anything.
'IN
GOD WE TRUST' is on this currency.
The Latin
above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means,
'God has favored our
undertaking.'
The Latin
below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM,
means, 'a new order has begun.'
At the base
of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)
If you look at the right-hand
circle, and check it carefully,
you
will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the
United
States
..
It
is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National
Cemetery , and is the centerpiece of most heroes'
monuments.
Slightly
modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States ,
and
it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know
what
the symbols mean.
The Bald Eagle was
selected as a symbol for victory for
two
reasons:
First, he is not
afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart
enough to soar above
it.
Secondly, he wears
no material crown. We had just broken from
the King of England
..
Also, notice the
shield is unsupported. This country can now stand
on its
own.
At the top of that
shield there is a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were
coming together as one nation.
In the
Eagle's beak you will read, ' E PLURIBUS UNUM' meaning, 'from many - one.'
Above the Eagle, we
have the thirteen stars, representing the
thirteen original
colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding
rolling away. Again, we
were coming together as one.
Notice
what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an
olive
branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but
we
will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The
Eagle
always wants to face the olive branch, but in time
of
war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.
An (untrue) old-fashioned belief
says that the number 13 is
an unlucky number. This
is almost a worldwide belief.
You will
almost never see a room numbered 13, or any
hotels or motels with a
13th floor. But think about this:
America,
which relies on God (not a number) to direct and
lead, boldly
chose:
13
original colonies,
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence ,
13
stripes on our flag,
13 steps on the pyramid,
13
letters in 'Annuit Coeptis',
13
letters in ' E Pluribus Unum,'
13 stars above the eagle,
13 bars on that
shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch,
13
fruits, and if you look closely,
13
arrows.
And finally, notice
the arrangement of the 13
stars in the
right-hand
circle.
You will see that they
are arranged as a
Star of
David.
This
was ordered by George
Washington who, when he asked Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he
would
like as a
personal reward for his services to the Continental
Army. Solomon
said he wanted nothing for
himself,
but he
would
like something for his people.The Star of David was
the
result. Few people know it was Solomon who saved the
Army
through his financial contributions
...then
died a
pauper.
Haym Solomon gave $25 million to
save
the
Continental
Army, money that was sorely
needed to help
realize
America’s
–our-
freedom
and independence
from England .
Therein
lies America’s Judeo-Christian beginning.
Most American
children do NOT know any of this.
They are not
taught because their history teachers do NOT
know
this.
[They were not
taught!]
On America’s
Freedom:
Too
many veterans gave up too much to let the meaning fade.
Many
veterans came home to an America that did not care.
Too
many veterans never came home at all.
They
served, they died for you … for
me.
I hope
you will share this page with many-so they can learn
about the
UNITED STATES DOLLAR
BILL, and what
it stands for.
America
is at a critical juncture.
Let's
do whatever we can to
save her
while never, ever
forgetting:
It is God in whom we
put our trust!
