The Great Seal of the United States of America reflects the founding and history of our American Republic. The eagle was chosen to be our National symbol because of its characteristics. Biblical accounts like in Isaiah chapter 40 verse 31 teaches us that - "..they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and the shall walk, and not faint. " But, this is not the main reference we can look at in learning God Almighty's purpose for this land. The main prophetic Word of God can be seen in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Revelation chapter 12 verses 13 - 17, reveals the prophetic history we have seen the United States of America fulfill in its founding and development. We will quote only verse 14, for brevity here - " And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and a half a time, from the face of the serpent." The trumpet below the eagle is the symbol of the command God Almighty gave to His ancient people Israel in the book of Numbers chapter 10 verses 1 - 9, in which He told them to make 2 silver trumpets to use as announcements to call the assembly of God's people and for the manner in which they could call upon the Creator to assist them in defeating their oppressors in war - verse 9. The silver trumpets were also to call out to assemble - " And if they blow with one trumpet, then the princes, which are the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee. " The male leaders were to assemble for battle when one trumpet is blown. "..and you shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies . " Amen
