.....a Jewish friend sent me this:
Who Was Haym
> Solomon?
>
>
> 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! |
