The golden light breaking through the white cloud and the eye above the pyramid.
Explanation: the Eye of Providence (the eye in the triangle) together with the radiating "glory" or golden light is explicitly meant to symbolize divine providence — God’s favor and protection (see the motto Annuit Cœptis, “He has favored our undertakings”). The pyramid, shield and olive branch represent durability, unity, strength and peace/war readiness, not God.
