I would not conclude that the symbols on the Great Seal of the United States are satanic. Many of these symbols referred to are very Biblical. As an example I have chosen to give you a short but extremely detailed lesson about the illuminated capstone and the all seing eye of God, YAHWEH. The diligent Bible student has undoubtedly encountered a depiction of the all seeing eye of God within a triangle, the triangle being our representation of the Christian HolyTrinity, or may have seen the all seeing eye of God symbolized as a brightly illuminated capstone at the apex of a pyramid. Unfortunately, many Christians have been told by some self ordained conspiracy writers that these symbols are satanic and are not even aware that they are all documented in the Scriptures. Nonetheless, this symbol was incorporated into the Great Seal of the United States and adopted by Congress on June 20, 1782, an acknowledgement and testament to the supremacy of God above all. In Psalm 118:22 we find: “The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.” Many, who read this verse, will immediately and incorrectly identify the allegorical head stone of the corner, as the cornerstone or primary foundation stone of a masonry based building or structure. Further examination of this verse reveals to us that this head stone is not a traditional cornerstone, but something much greater. What then is the symbolic meaning of this stone and what is this corner? The Chaldee words from the Massoretic Texts, gives us the following definitions for “head stone of the corner”; -For ‘head’ the Chaldee word is שׁאר ‘rosh’ is used and is a word which is used in many applications, however, in keeping with the subject matter in relation to an object which is the ‘stone’, it is defined as ‘head, chiefest place, a chapiter, highest part’. -For ‘corner’ the Hebrew word is הנּכּ ‘pinnah’, pronounced, ‘pin-naw’, was used and it signifies an ‘angle, a pinnacle by implication’ hence, an angled pinnacle, or more precisely a capstone. The Concise Oxford dictionary identifies a pinnacle as “an ornamental turret usually ending in a pyramid or cone, crowning a buttress, natural peak, culmination, climax.” We can discern from these definitions that there can be no question as to what the head stone of the corner really is. Hence, “the stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner”, should read, ‘is become the highest angled pinnacle which is literally a CAPSTONE. We can deduce that a capstone could never be used in any portion of a building or form, except at the apex of some type of triangular or pyramidal structure. It is most appropriate that the Lord God would be represented as the capstone or highest part. In general, Psalm 118 praises the mercies of the Lord. The word ‘Lord’ in the Hebrew is הּי ‘Yahh’, הוֹהי for Yaweh, the ineffable name for our Most Holy Father. Verse twenty two however, not only alludes to how the Israelites rejected God and His Commandments, but was somewhat prophetic as to what would occur when the Messiah, Christ Emmanuel would come to redeem His people and how once again He would be rejected. Isaiah 28:16 states, “Therefore thus saith the Lord God (Adonai YAHWEH), behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation; he that believeth shall not make haste.” -For ‘foundation’ the Chaldee word is הדוּסי ‘yeçudah’, pronounced ‘yes-oo-daw’, which is literally a foundation. However, the word ‘foundation’ which is used a second time in the same verse is not the same as the first. In this case the Chaldee word used was דסוּמ ‘mowçad’ which is pronounced ‘mo-sawd’, it is derived from the root word דסי ‘yaçad’ ‘yaw-sad’ and it refers to the laying of a foundation. -For ‘stone’ the Chaldee word is ןבא ‘eben’ which signifies, ‘to build; a stone’ and is from the root word הנבּ ‘banah’ which is also defined as ‘to build or begin to build, to set.’ This clearly indicates a beginning, a foundation. -For ‘corner’ again the Chaldee word used is הנּכּ ‘pinnah’ which denotes ‘an angle, a pinnacle by implication; and figuratively a chieftain: bulwark, chief, corner, tower.’ Being that the Hebrew word שׁאר ‘rosh’ no. 7218, which is defined as ‘head, chiefest place, chapiter, and highest part’, is not used in conjunction with the Hebrew word הנּכּ ‘pinnah’ as it is used in Psalm 118:22, in this context, the figurative definition or term does apply, such as a ‘bulwark or corner’. The Chaldee word ןבא ‘eben’ defined as, to build a stone, or to begin to build, or to set an object, conjoined with the Hebrew word הנּכּ ‘pinnah’, figuratively defined as a bulwark, chief and corner, combined with the Hebrew words הדוּסי ‘yeçudah’ and דסוּמ ‘mowçad’, are indicative of the distinguishing characteristics relating to a true foundation and a foundation stone. This is the new foundation stone, which began with the prophets of old and continued on with the apostles and followers of Christ and his ministry on earth and will culminate with the glorious return of our Lord Jesus Christ Emmanuel, to establish and complete His kingdom on earth. In this analysis we must also consider Ecclesiastes 3:11, which states, “ He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” This verse alludes to ‘the beginning’ which represents the foundation of the heavens and the earth and ‘the end’ which may be symbolized by the pinnacle or capstone, as in Psalm 118:22, which represents completion. In Revelation 1:8 and 22:13 we find other inspiring references to what the ‘beginning’ and ‘the end’ are. Revelation 1:8 states, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 22:13 states, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” The verses from Revelation, not only foretell the return of the Christ in all His glory, but asserts the absolute power and authority by which it will be done. Being that God is the beginning and the end, we can also consider our Omnipotent Father as both the foundation and the pinnacle of the heavens and the earth. The King James Companion Bible confirms this in a reference to Ephesians 2:20 which reads, “Christ is both foundation cornerstone and head of the corner”. In examining Mathew 21:42, we find; “Jesus saith unto them, did ye never read in the scriptures? The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner” the CAPSTONE. Mark 12:10 reads, “And have ye not read this scripture; the stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner.” In Luke 20:17, we find, “And he beheld them and said, what is this then that is written, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?” 1 Peter 2:7, states, “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.” In Mathew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17 and I Peter 2:7, the word for ‘head’ is κεφαλή ‘kephale’ pronounced ‘ke-fal-ay’ and is defined as a ‘head’ literally and figuratively. The word for ‘corner’, is γωνία ‘gonia’, pronounced ‘go-nee-ah’ which signifies an ‘angle-corner’. Ephesians 2:20 reads, “And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets Christ himself being the chief corner stone.” Here, the apostles and prophets are identified as the new foundation mentioned in Isaiah 28:16 and 1 Peter 2:6, which also identifies our Holy and Omniscient Father as the One who laid that foundation. The Greek word, άκρογωνίαιος in Ephesians 2:20 also identifies Christ as the pinnacle or capstone (הנּכּ pinnah) of this allegorical structure, a symbol of His supremacy and kingdom to come. 1 Peter 2:6 states, “Wherefore it is contained in the scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” From Ephesians 2:20 and 1 Peter 2:6, for the words ‘chief’ and ‘corner’, the Greek word aκρογωνίαιος, pronounced ‘akrogoniaios’, was used in the Textus Receptus. It is defined as ‘belonging to the extreme corner or chief corner’. The Greek word ακρογωνίαιος ‘akrogoniaios’ is described as being from the root word ακρον ‘akron’ and γωνία ‘gonia’. The Greek dictionary defines ‘ακρον’ as ‘the extremity, tip, top, uttermost part, ‘γωνία’ is defined as an ‘angle-corner’, it is described as being from the same family of words as γονύ ‘gonu’, ‘a knee’. To better reflect the intended meaning of the words, Ephesians 2:20 which reads “Christ himself being the chief corner stone”, should read, ‘Christ being the stone (angled-corner or capstone) that belongs to the extreme uttermost part, tip or top.’ This without question, is the intended meaning, just as it is described in Psalm 118:22! Yes, the stone which the builders refused has indeed become the head stone of the corner! I went a little longer here than I intended in this detailed analysis of the illuminated capstone that represents the glory of God from the Great Seal and is what I would teach in an advanced Christian theology class. Most people that study their Bibles are not that interested in this much detail. However, I think that you will also conclude that this is definitely a Biblical symbol of hope and not one with satanic implications. As for the other symbols I don't have time to cover them all, however, NotHereFor did a great job with his explanations.
