In God Is Our Trust
Penned 1814 | Coined 1864 | Adopted 1956 | Affirmed 2011
We wanted to shine the light on a trend sweeping across America. It is the return of the motto found on all of our currency, “In God We Trust” or “In God Is Our Trust” if being historically correct and politically incorrect simultaneously.
Why is this topic relative or even remotely important? Well, that depends on perspective. If you have any notion that we are at war or immersed in some sort of ideological war or struggle, then it is quite relevant. If all mention of war is bogus to you (even despite the recent events in Maui), we would kindly congratulate you on earning a week off - you need not read any further.
Whether you believe in God or not, this topic is quite timely. Allow us to explain. Remember, the words “In God We Trust” do appear on our currency.
The NWO globalist regime does NOT believe in God. In their world, they are God so any other God (false idol or true God) must be denounced or removed altogether. Globalist elites believe they control all things (including you), and God has no place. In fact, the removal of all things “God” is part of their agenda. No nation can operate “under God.” Any mention of God or “motto” suggesting a God exists would be abhorrent and abrasive to the globalists and their Satanic ideology.
The fact that states (under federal laws) and schools (under state laws) are now being required to display the nation’s motto “In God We Trust” is quite intriguing. A plaque expressing “In God We Trust” hung on a wall in the quiet confines of a public school front office is like an invading nation planting its flag on enemy territory.
We are talking about ideological warfare, and the invisible enemy does not like it when you come on to his turf.
Let’s step back and take a peek at the historical archives to gain some context.
When exactly did this motto “In God We Trust” start? Wikipedia would suggest 1956?
On July 30, 1956, the 84th Congress passed a joint resolution "declaring 'IN GOD WE TRUST' the national motto of the United States." The resolution passed both the House and the Senate unanimously and without debate. It replaced E pluribus unum (“Out of many, one”), which had existed before as a de facto official motto.
Our team decided to dig a little further and discovered that this motto was approved to be engraved on coins dating back to 1837 with actions taken in 1864.
Federal legislature passed a bill on January 18, 1837, which determined the mottos and devices that should be stamped on U.S. coins. This meant that enactment of some additional legislation was necessary before "In God We Trust" could be engraved. Such bill was introduced and passed as the Coinage Act of 1864.
The United States Congress passed a law authorising "In God We Trust" to appear on U.S. coins on April 22, 1864. From 1864 to 1938, it appeared on numerous U.S. coins for varying lengths of time. Since 1909, it has appeared on the penny, since 1916 on the dime.
Digging a little further, the history of the motto would suggest that it dates back to the early 1800s and Francis Scott Key.
A poem entitled the “Defence of Fort McHenry” was written by Key in 1814.
This poem became the basis for the Star-Spangled Banner and these words appear in the last stanza.
And this be our motto - “In God Is Our Trust”
The Fort McHenry National Monument is located in Baltimore, MD.
During the Battle of Baltimore, September 13–14, 1814, the valiant defense of the star-shaped Fort McHenry against the might of the British navy inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The 15 broad stripes and 15 bright stars still fly over the fort 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most famous as the birthplace of our National Anthem, the fort was used continuously in a variety of ways through World War II.
Fast forward to 2011, Congress passed concurrent resolution H.Con.Res.13 on 11/1/11 affirming “In God We Trust” as the nation’s official motto with a vote count of 369-9.
Congress reaffirms “In God We Trust” as the official motto of the United States and supports and encourages the public display of the national motto in all public buildings, public schools, and other government institutions.
House passes “In God We Trust” measure reaffirming the nation’s motto (11/1/11)
We found this to be an odd coincidence, but those date figures (11111) are nearly the same numbers as John F. Kennedy’s Executive Order 11110, which amended Executive Order 10289 (dated September 17, 1951)
On June 4,1963, Executive Order 11110 was issued by U.S. President John F. Kennedy to strip the Federal Reserve of its lending power.
Can you imagine what would have happened if this Executive Order 11110 had fully taken place, and the Federal Reserve was eventually dismantled?
Some historians argue that EO 11110 was never meant to strip the Federal Reserve of its lending power.
The National Archives reports the Codification of Presidential Proclamations and Executive Orders and EO11110 has never been revoked.
Please pardon the JFK / US Treasury / Federal Reserve / EO 11110 diversion….back to the topic at hand.
As of 2019, many of the States began passing legislation to align with H.Con.Res.13 further confirming the nation’s motto as affirmed by Congress in 2011. Many states have passed legislation requiring the display of the national motto “In God We Trust” in public schools, but putting the motto on display often requires private funding. Here are a few more articles to give you a feel for what is happening across the US.
“In God We Trust”: Public school displays of the national motto (9/25/19)
These (“In God We Trust”) displays correspond with recent laws in at least five states, including Kentucky, Louisiana and South Dakota. Florida and Tennessee passed similar laws in 2018, and such requirements were already in place in Mississippi, Utah, and Virginia.
South Dakota Public Schools add “In God We Trust” signs to walls (6/25/19)
South Carolina Public Schools must display “In God We Trust” (2/1/23)
At least six additional states (Alabama, Arizona, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas) have passed legislation that says “In God We Trust” MAY be posted in public schools. Georgia and Ohio allow such displays, only if they are donated; and Arkansas mandates that if such a display is donated, it must be posted in a public school.
Texas mandates donated “In God We Trust” displays in schools (8/21/22)
So where does your state stand on this? Is it time to introduce some legislation that aligns with the national motto? What about your local public school? Is it time to make a donation of a plaque in honor of loved one or a fallen soldier? What about private schools? Is our national motto on display there?
Many of our team members did not even know a day like this existed until writing this piece, but it looks as if August 22, 2023 is “In God We Trust” day. Are you planning to celebrate the national motto next week?
The main question at hand on this topic involves identity. Who are we as a nation? Are we “One Nation, Under God” as our forefathers intended and as prior generations fought for?
Or are we a nation actively seeking to be void of God’s presence or a nation succumbing to an ideology that is not our own?
Be careful how quickly you answer these questions. Why?
Our freedoms come from God. “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The very presence of God is why government can never take these freedoms away. If you remove God, you remove freedom. The enemy ferociously seeking to install One World Government knows this.
And so the battle wages on as the enemy does not want our children to ever see our national motto or hear the words of our pledge of allegiance.
Ideological warfare - the struggle is real!
Think about it. Our nation has a motto that has been around for 200 years. It has passed through legislation via the Coinage Act of 1864, a Joint Resolution of the 84th Congress in 1956, and again by the 112th Congress in 2011. Despite these facts, “activists” demand that our nation’s motto NOT be displayed in certain places in our society. Their turf is off limits.
We at The Fruited Plain watch farmers across the middle of America place their trust in God each and every year, praying for a bountiful harvest so that food supplies can be delivered to the American people. God is ultimately the giver of all things needful.
Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1:21 (KJV)
We are wise to place our trust in the One that sustains and upholds, both now and in the future. Freedom is at stake! Americans have a choice really - place your trust in the One (God) or find yourself soon being forced to place your trust in One World Government.
And this be our motto - “In God Is Our Trust”
Want to dig deeper? Emerald Robinson put out this piece detailing what the founding fathers from 1776 may have thought about acknowledging God’s providence and the role of Christianity in politics. John Witherspoon’s famous sermon from 1776 sheds some light. Pastor Witherspoon was the only pastor to sign the Declaration of Independence. The motto “In God Is Our Trust” is simply an acknowledgement that God exists and graciously provides us the many freedoms we enjoy while living in a Constitutional Republic.
