Who was 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 Benjamin Franklin and a group of men to 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 see a Pyramid:
Notice that the face is lit, but 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 (but, Rico notes, only after 1957).
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 that 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: 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 thirteen is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will almost never see a room numbered thirteen, or any hotels or motels with a thirteen th floor. But think about this: America, which relies on God (not a number) to direct and lead, boldly chose:
thirteen original colonies,
thirteen signers of the Declaration of Independence,
thirteen stripes on our flag,
thirteen steps on the pyramid,
thirteen letters in 'Annuit Coeptis',
thirteen letters in ' E Pluribus Unum,'
thirteen stars above the eagle,
thirteen bars on that shield,
thirteen leaves on the olive branch,
thirteen fruits, and, if you look closely,
thirteen arrows.
And. finally, notice the arrangement of the thirteen 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 it, because their history teachers do not know this. [They were not taught!]
I hope you will share this page with many, so they can learn about the dollar bill and what it stands for.
