An Epistle from Paul: TH E DOLLAR CARRIES THE WORD! – Our money bears testimony to the fact that our nation was founded on faith in God… and emphasizes the additional fact that as a nation we rely upon God’s providence.

You will note the pyramid is not completed; thus, emphasizing our nation is not yet finished. Directly above the pyramid is an eye which symbolizes the watchful eye of God.

Another important symbol is contained in the words Annuit Coeptis in a semi-circle at the top of the seal. Referring to God, these words mean: “He has smiled on our undertakings.” Finally, three Latin words appear directly under the pyramid, Novus Ordo Seclorum.

An Epistle from Paul:

THE DOLLAR CARRIES THE WORD! – Our money bears testimony to the fact that our nation was founded on faith in God… and emphasizes the additional fact that as a nation we rely upon God’s providence. Let me illustrate what is meant.

On the dollar bill is a pyramid, which represents the building of our country. You will note the pyramid is not completed; thus, emphasizing our nation is not yet finished. Directly above the pyramid is an eye which symbolizes the watchful eye of God. Our founding fathers firmly believed that our strength was rooted in God and that our progress must always be under the watchful eye of our Creator and Redeemer!

Another important symbol is contained in the words Annuit Coeptis in a semi-circle at the top of the seal. Referring to God, these words mean: “He has smiled on our undertakings.”

Finally, three Latin words appear directly under the pyramid, Novus Ordo Seclorum. They mean: “A new order of the ages.” That statement clearly means our nation, under God, is introducing a new age in the life and freedom of mankind. Psalm 33:12 says it best, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…”

In His Marvelous Love, Paul
