“…EVERY GOOD TREE BEARS GOOD FRUIT, BUT A BAD TREE BEARS BAD FRUIT.
    A GOOD TREE CANNOT BEAR BAD FRUIT, NOR CAN A BAD TREE BEAR GOOD FRUIT…

                             THEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW THEM.”
                                                                Matt. 7:17-20

    If America was truly established by the founding fathers with the objective of being “One Nation Under

    God,” then the imagery that they purposely selected to adorn the seat of government should reflect

    those God-centered beliefs, but they do not. Rather we find an overwhelming host of Roman-based

    imagery. Why such “fruit”? Because America’s “tree” is Roman to the core. Let us now examine some

    of the imagery that our founding fathers chose as appropriate decoration for this “One Nation Under

    God.” Let us begin with the seat of government, the US Capitol. Construction began in 1793. Here is

    the earliest photograph available as well as its present configuration:

    I don’t need to inform you that this           US Capitol 1846           UUSS CCaappiittooll 22000077
    building is commonly referred to as

    “the Capitol on the hill.” This name is

    not merely based on the fact that it is

    the capitol of the US government and

    that it sits on a slight hill. Rather we find

    that both the word capitol and hill have

    its origins in ancient Rome. Consider

    this ancient painting of:                      ON THE CAPITOLINE HILL

                                                       IN ANCIENT ROME

        “THIS TEMPLE TO JUPITER WAS CALLED
          THE CAPITOLIUM, AND FROM IT WE
            GET OUR WORD CAPITOL. IT WAS
           LOOKED UPON AS THE CENTER OF
          ROMAN RELIGION AND AUTHORITY,

      AND AT TIMES THE ROMAN SENATE WAS
                         CONVENED IN IT”

                   (a History of Rome- Robert F. Pennell)

    The word capitol was taken from “Capitolium”, it has no other meaning! To identify a building as a
    capitol is to choose a word whose only meaning is the Capitolinus of Jupiter. The nickname “hill” given
    to our nation’s capitol is derived directly from “the Capitoline Hill” of ancient Rome. We must assume
    that this was a purposeful pattern chosen by the founding fathers of America in 1793 to best represent
    their “One Nation Under God” even though it was common historical knowledge that its origins
    stemmed from ancient Rome’s supreme worship of the god Jupiter. We must ask, was this nation’s
    god built around the sacred worship of the biblical Jesus as some claim, or is it the continuance of the
    Roman’s pagan worship of Jupiter by the New Roman Empire, America?

    When you consider the                          ON THE CAPITOLINE HILL
    titles man has attributed to                         IN ANCIENT ROME
    Jupiter, you can easily see
    that this false god usurps                                                       IS THIS A
    the very names of the God                                                      “CAPITOL”
    of the Bible.                                                              THAT GLORIFIES
    No wonder God calls                                                      JUPITER OR JESUS?
