THE UNITED STATES FLAG
THE EAGLE
THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE
What do they symbolize? |
The eagle symbolizes the presence of God. The red symbolizes the Spirit of God, which is Love. The white symbolizes the Word of God, which is Truth. Love and Truth is the presence of God. The blue symbolizes the peeling off process that makes us free, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. The seven red stripes represent this spiritual metamorphosis or spiritual process. The number seven refers to spirit or spiritual. In Hebrew the word seven means to seven oneself, seventimes (7x7), which equals 49, the number of days between Passover and the day of Pentecost or Shabuoth. The new life we obtain through our one-time spiritual passover and one-time spiritual day of Pentecost is 1 added to 49 , bringing us spiritually to 50 ; to our spiritual Jubilee.
"Jubilee, among the ancient Jews, extraordinary Sabbatical year (following every seventh ordinary Sabbatical year) celebrated every 50th year. In the year of Jubilee, the land was completely left to rest. All debts were remitted; land that had been alienated was restored to it original owners; and all Jews, who, through poverty, had obliged to hire themselves out as servants, were released from bondage."
(“Jubilee.” Funk and Wagnalls New Encyclopedia. 1986 ed.).
The fifty stars symbolize the freedom associated with the spiritual process or journey that brings us out of spiritual and physical bondage or addiction.
