Columbia Seal
Revision as of 00:34, 19 March 2007 by Absentminded (talk | contribs)
The original Columbia Seal is filled with symbolic imagery. Over the head of the seated woman is the (Hebrew) Tetragrammaton, YHVH (Jehovah); the Latin motto around her head means "In Thy light we see light" (Psalm 36:10); the Hebrew phrase on the ribbon is Uri El ("God is my light"), an allusion to Psalm 27:1; and at the feet of the woman is the New Testament passage commanding Christians to desire the pure milk of God's word (1 Peter 2:1–2).<ref>History Unwrapped – June 2005 (American Vision- A Biblical Worldview Ministry)
