Let’s take some time to look at the stars in the night sky to see how well they line up with Revelation.
Our story begins in the southern sky with Sagittarius. This is an archer with a bow and arrow.
"Latin name Sagittarius, which means the Archer.
69 stars
Hebrew, Naim, which means the gracious one.
Hebrew, Nehushta, the going or sending forth.
Akkadian name in the sign is Nun-ki, which means Prince of the
Earth.
in the very path in which the sun "rejoiceth in his going
forth as a strong man." It’s ruling
planet is Jupiter.
ancient Zodiac of Denderah he is called (as in Coptic) Pi-maere,
i.e. graciousness, beauty of the appearing or coming forth. The characters
under the hind foot read Knem, which means He conquers.
This is He who shall come forth like as an arrow from the bow,
"full of grace," but "conquering and to conquer."
the arrow in his bow is aimed directly at the heart of the Scorpion.
"Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O most mighty,
[Gird Thyself] with Thy glory and Thy majesty,
And in Thy majesty ride propserously,
Because of truth, and meekness, and righteousness;
And Thy right hand shall teach Thee terrible things.
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies;
Whereby the people fall under Thee.""

There is an arrow a couple constellations above him called
Sagitta and is supposed to represent the arrow that Hercules slew the eagle
with. This would be appropriate in the
first battle Christ shoots out the arrows of Ephraim and the angels of the
devil are overcome.
The bow is called bios which is the Greek word for ‘to live.’
The keywords for Sagittarius is: I seek.
The whole constellation resembles a crown, but beneath it is the
crown Corona (cast at his feet.)
A crown is given him:
Corona- right next to Sagittarius
“The Hebrew name for the
constellation is Atarah, a
royal crown, and its stars
are known today in the East by the plural, Ataroth!
Its Arabic name is Al Iclil, an
ornament, or jewel.
It has 21 stars
Its brightest star, a, has the Arabic
name of Al Phecca, the shining.
Interpretation: first horseman
The enemy is surrounded because on the opposite side, he enters
as the rider of the second seal (Yes, he can have both a bow and a sword.)
Centaurus: the red rider and second seal
“Hebrew word Bezeh
(and the Arabic Al Beze) means the despised.
35 stars
The brightest star, a (in the horse's
fore-foot), has come down to us with the ancient name of Toliman, which
means the heretofore and hereafter, marking Him as the one "which is, and which was, and which is to
come--the Almighty" (Rev 1:8). Sir John Herschell observed this star to be
growing rapidly brighter. It may be, therefore, one of the changeable stars
Hebrew, Asmeath, which means a sin-offering
Greek name was Cheiron, which
means the pierced, or
who pierces
Within the feet of Centaurus is a cross: the second red seal
"The Hebrew name was Adom, which means cutting off, as in
Daniel 9:26 "After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut
off." The last letter of the Hebrew alphabet was called Tau, which was
anciently made in the form of a cross. This letter is called Tau, and means a mark;
especially a boundary mark, a limit or finish. And it is the last letter, which
finishes the Hebrew alphabet to this day."
5 stars
In the ancient Egyptian Zodiac of Denderah this first Decan of
LIBRA is represented as a lion with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, as if
in thirst, and a female figure holding a cup out to him. Under his fore feet is
the hieroglyphic symbol of running water. What is all this but "the Lion
of the tribe of Judah" brought down "into the dust of death,"
and saying "I am poured out like water...my strength is dried up"
(Psa 22:13-18) "I thirst" (John 19:28) "and in my thirst they
gave me vinegar to drink" (Psa 69:21)?
The Egyptian name of this Lion, however, points to his ultimate
triumph, for it is called Sera, that is, victory!"*
*quotes from the Witness of the Stars.
Remember the first and second seals are introduced by a lion and
a calf. They are for the bride and the church.
In between the centuar and the archer are the scales, a dead
dog, and a scorpion (the black horse, the pale horse and hell) They are getting
attacked from both sides.
Libra: the scales.
"51 stars
The Hebrew name is Mozanaim, the Scales, weighing. Its name in
Arabic is Al Zubena, pruchase, or redemption. In Coptic, it is Lambadia,
station of propitiation (from Lam, graciousness, and badia, branch). The name
by which it has come down to us is the Latin, Libra, which means weighing, as
used in the Vulgate (Isa 40:12).
Libra contains three bright stars whose names supply us with the
whole matter. The brightest a (in the lower scale), is named Zuben al Genubi,
which means the purchase, or price which is deficient. This points to the fact
that man has been utterly ruined. He is "weighed in the balances and found
wanting.""
He who slays with the sword must be slain with the sword: 3rd
horseman.
Lupus: death
“Greek name is Thera,
a beast, and Lycos, a
wolf. Its Latin name is Victima, or Bestia
Hebrew name, Asedah, and
Arabic Asedaton, which
both mean to be slain.
Zodiac of Denderah He is pictured as a
little child with its finger on its lips, and He is called Sura, a lamb! In
other pictures He has, besides, the horn of a goat on one side of His head. All
this pointed to one and the same great fact, viz., the development and
explanation of what was meant by the bruising of His heel
Perhaps the beast that was slain is considered to be the seed of
the Devil. In the 4th
horseman we can assume that Marduk/the prince of Babylon/the antichrist/the one
that was slain yet is: rides forth under the name of Death. Mimickers can only follow, so he follows as
Christ jingles his keys: he only has a short time.
Scorpio: hell
“The star-picture brings
before us a gigantic scorpion endeavoring to sting in the heel a mighty man who
is struggling with a serpent, but is crushed by the man, who has his foot
placed right on the scorpion's heart.
The Hebrew name is Akrab, which is the name of a scorpion, but also
means the conflict, or war. It is this that
is referred to in Psalm 91:13--
"Thou shalt tread upon the lion
and adder. The
young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet."
Coptic name is Isidis, which
means the attack of the enemy, or oppression
The Arabic name is Al Akrab, which means wounding him that cometh.
44 stars
The brightest star, a (in the heart),
bears the ancient Arabic name of Antares, which means the wounding. It is called by the Latins Cor
Scorpii, because it marks the
scorpion's heart. It shines ominously with a deep red light. The sting is
called in Hebrew Lesath (Chaldee,
Lesha), which means the
perverse. The stars in the tail are
also known as Leshaa, or
Leshat. (Antares seems also to have been known as Lesath).”
Ara: the altar, the fifth seal
Right next to Scorpio is the altar.
“It is a man enthroned,
with a flail in his hand. His name is Bau, the same name as
Hercules has, and means He cometh. It is from the Hebrew Boh,
to come, as in Isaiah 63:1--
"Who is this that cometh from
Edom, With
dyed garments from Bozrah."
This is a coming in judgment, as is
clear from the reason given in verse 4--
"For the day of vengeance is in
Mine heart, And
the year of My redeemed is come. And
I looked, and there was none to help; And I wondered that there was none to uphold; Therefore Mine own arm brought salvation,
And My fury, it upheld Me."
Isaiah 63:4, 5
In Arabic it is called Al Mugamra,
which means the completing,
or finishing. The Greeks
used the word Ara sometimes
in the sense of praying,
but more frequently in the sense of imprecation or cursing.””
The ones under the altar are told to
wait until the completing or finishing has come in.
This is the beginning of sorrows. In
2017 the first sign of his coming appeared in the constellation Virgo.
Virgo: The virgin
“The name of this sign
in the Hebrew is Bethulah,
which means a virgin, and
in the Arabic a branch.
The two words are connected, as in Latin--Virgo, which means a virgin; and virga, which means a branch (Vulg. Isa 11:1). Another name is Sunbul, Arabic, an ear of corn.
Thus the brightest star in VIRGO (a) * has an ancient name, handed down to us in all the star-maps, in which the Hebrew word Tsemech is preserved. It is called in Arabic Al Zimach, which means the branch. This star is in the ear of corn which she holds in her left hand. Hence the star has a modern Latin name, which has almost superseded the ancient one, Spica, which means, an ear of corn. But this hides the great truth revealed by its name Al Zimach. It foretold the coming of Him who should bear this name. The same Divine inspiration has, in the written Word, four times connected it with Him. There are twenty Hebrew words translated "Branch," but only one of them (Tsemech) is used exclusively of the Messiah, and this word only four times (Jer 33:15 being only a repetition of Jer 23:5). Each of these further connects Him with one special account of Him, given in the Gospels.
The star b is called Zavijaveh, which means the gloriously beautiful, as in Isaiah 4:2. The star e, in the arm
bearing the branch, is called Al
Mureddin, which means
who shall come down (as in Psa 72:8), or who shall have dominion. It is also known as Vindemiatrix, a Chaldee word which means the son, or branch, who cometh.
Other names of stars in the sign,
are--
Subilah, who carries. (Isa 46:4) Al Azal, the Branch. (As in Isa 18:5) Subilon, a spike of corn. (As in Isa 17:5)”
Between the virgin and the centaur, is
the harlot: Hydra
“ female serpent
(Hydra), the mother and author of all evil. Hydra
has the significant meaning, he
is abhorred!
60 stars
The brightest star, a (in the heart of
the Serpent), is sometimes called by the moderns Cor
Hydrae on that account. Its ancient
name is Al Phard (Arabic),
which means the separated, put away. Another is called Al Drian, the abhorred. Another star is named Minchar al
Sugia, the piercing of the deceiver.”
It's possible that this is symbolic of Inanna, Zeus’
granddaughter, and Poseidon’s daughter-in law through marriage. The name we know her by may be Isis.
In her hand is Crater, the cup:
“ This Cup has the
significant number of thirteen stars (the number of Apostacy). The two--Al Ches (a), which means the Cup, and (b)--determine the bottom of the Cup
“
She also has Croves: raven
“Oreb, the Raven. Her-na is its name in the Denderah Zodiac. Her, means the enemy; and Na, means breaking up or
failing. That is to say, this
scene represents the breaking up of the enemy.
There are nine stars (the number of judgment) in
this constellation. The bright star a (in the eye) is called Al
Chibar (Arabic), joining
together, from the Hebrew Chiba(Num 23:8), which means accursed. This star, then, tells of the
curse inflicted. The star b (in the
right wing) is called Al Goreb (Arabic), from Hebrew Oreb, the Raven. A third star is named Minchar al
Gorab (Arabic), and means the
Raven tearing to pieces.”
This is the heavenly Jerusalem. After she is cast to the earth the dogs feast on her flesh.
II Kings 9
30 Now
when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on
her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. 31 Then, as Jehu entered at the gate,
she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”
32 And
he looked up at the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or
three eunuchs looked out at him. 33 Then
he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood
spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot. 34 And when he had gone in, he ate and
drank. Then he said, “Go now, see to this accursed woman, and bury her,
for she was a king’s daughter.” 35 So
they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and the
feet and the palms of her hands. 36
Therefore they came back and told him. And he said, “This is the
word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; 37 and the corpse of Jezebel shall be
as refuse on the surface of the field, in the plot at Jezreel, so that they
shall not say, “Here lies Jezebel.”’”
In the sky, she is surrounded by dogs, wasted and forlorn.
Revelation 17
16 And
the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her
desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17 For God has put it into their
hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to
the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
This happens when Jerusalem is stripped:
Ezekiel 13:29
39"I
will also give you
into the hands of
your lovers, and they will tear down your
shrines, demolish your
high places, strip you
of your clothing, take away
your jewels, and
will leave you
naked and
bare.
Isis is considered the virgin because Osiris got chopped up in a
bunch of pieces. She stitched him back together, and though his manhood was
missing, she still had Horus.
http://www.bible-history.com/babylonia/BabyloniaThe_Ishtar_Gate.htm
The prince of Babylon is Marduk. He is the first head that was
cut down as a tree stump and will rise again, but probably as a wraith. The two
beasts on the Babylon Gate are believed to be Ishtar and Ninurta. Inanna is
Ishtar. Ishtar is Zeus granddaughter by Nannar who Zeus had by rape, and
Ninurta is Zeus’ son by his sister. The female beast there is the unicorn. On
the head of hydra in the sky is the horn of a unicorn. On either side of her
head is canis minor and major licking up her blood.
The smaller horn that comes up first is Canis minor.
“ Egyptian name in the
Denderah Zodiac is Sebak,
which means conquering, victorious. It is represented as a human figure with a hawk's head and the
appendage of a tail.
14 stars
The brightest star, a (in the body),
is named Procyon, which means REDEEMER,
(in the neck), which is named Al Gomeisa (Arabic),
the burthened, loaded, bearing for others.
Al Shira or Al Shemeliya (Arabic), the prince or chief of
the left hand, answering to the
star in Sirius.
Al Mirzam, the prince or ruler; and Al Gomeyra, who completes or perfects.”
Canis major:
“Denderah Zodiac he is
called Apes, which means
the head. He is pictured as a
hawk (Naz, caused to come forth, coming swiftly down). [Horus is the hawk man]
In the Persian planisphere it is
pictured as a wolf, and is called Zeeb,
which in Hebrew has the same meaning. Plutarch translates it Leader. In Arabic it means coming quickly.
64 stars
Sirius (our English
"Sir" is derived from this word) was, by the ancients, always
associated with great heat. And the hottest part of the year we still call
"the dog days," though, through the variation as observed in
different latitudes, and the precession of the equinoxes, its rising has long
ceased to have any relation to those days. Virgil says that Sirius
"With pestilential heat infects
the sky."
Homer spoke of it as a star
"Whose burning breath Taints the red air with
fevers, plagues, and death."
In the ancient Akkadian it is called Kasista, which
means the Leader and
Prince of the heavenly host. While (as Mr. Robert Brown, Jr, points out)
"the Sacred Books of Persia contain many praises for the star Tistrya
or Tistar(Sirius), 'the chieftain of the East.'" (Euphratean Stellar
Researches)
The next star, b (in the left fore
foot), speaks the same truth. It is named Mirzam, and means the prince
or ruler. The star d (in
the body) is called Wesen,
the bright, the shining. The
star e (in the right hind leg) is called Adhara, the glorious.
Other stars, not identified, bear
their witness to the same fact. Their names are--Aschere (Hebrew), who shall come; Al Shira Al Jemeniya
(Arabic), the Prince or chief of the right hand! Seir (Egyptian),
the Prince; Abur (Hebrew), the mighty; Al Habor (Arabic),
the mighty; Muliphen (Arabic), the leader, the chief.”
Revelation 13
11 Then
I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a
lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And
he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes
the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly
wound was healed. 13 He performs
great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in
the sight of men. 14 And he
deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do
in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an
image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give
breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak
and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and
great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or
on their foreheads, 17 and that
no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name.
For the ten kings, we have cancer the crab also at her head.
“ Denderah Zodiac it is
represented as a Scarabaeus, or sacred beetle.
Egyptians placed Hermanubis, or
Hermes, with the head of an ibis
or hawk, as the symbol of the sign now allotted to CANCER.
Denderah name is Klaria, or
the cattle-folds,
The Arabic name is Al Sartan, which
means who holds or
binds, and may be from the
Hebrew to bind together (Gen
49:11). There is no ancient Hebrew word known for the crab. It was classed with
many other unclean creatues, and would be included in the general term
"vermin."
83 stars
The Syriac, Sartano, means
the same. The Greek name is Karkinos, which means holding or encircling, as
does the Latin, Cancer,
and hence is applied to the crab. In the word Khan, we have the traveller's rest or inn; while
Ker or Cer is the Arabic for encircling. The ancient Akkadian name of the month is
Su-kul-na, the seizer or possessor
of seed.
In the centre of the Sign there is a
remarkably bright cluster of stars, so bright that they can be sometimes seen
with the naked eye. It looks like a comet, and is made up of a great multitude
of stars. Modern astronomers have called it the Beehive. But its ancient name has come down to us as Praesepe, which means a
multitude, offspring.
The brightest star, z (in the tail),
is called Tegmine,
holding. The star a (or a1
and a2), in the lower large claw, is
called Acubene, which, in Hebrew and Arabic, means the sheltering or hiding-place. Another
is named Ma'alaph (Arabic), assembled thousands; Al Himarein (Arabic), the kids
or lambs.
North and south of the nebula Praesepe are two stars, which Orientalists speak of by
a name evidently of some antiquity. Asellus means an Ass, and one was called Asellus
Boreas, the northern Ass;
while the other, Asellus
Australis, is the southern Ass. *
* The Ass was the emblem of Typhon, the king who smites or is smitten.
This connects it with the Tribe of
Issachar, who is said to have borne upon the Tribal standard the sign of two asses.
This is doubtless the reference in
Jacob's blessing (Gen 49:11, RV):
"Issachar is a strong ass, Couching down between
the sheepfolds; And he saw a
resting-place that it was good; And
the land that it was pleasant; And
he bowed his shoulder to bear, And
became a servant under task work."”
As both the canis constellations and
the crab are likely descendants of one of Horus’ sons, they all have references
to a hawk. (The king of the south makes
a marriage with the king of the north.
The 10 kings are probably sons of the virgo, but also of the
Babylonians.)
We can see in their broken up ship
before them, that they have nowhere to go; their home has been destroyed and
they know they have a short time here.
Argo the spaceship: (They once reigned
on this earth before 4,000 bc when Adam and Eve came out. This was the height
of their reign (6,000-4,000 was the time of Taurus in the sky.)
“return of the great emigrant-ship (Argo) and all its company of
travellers (for this is the meaning
of the word Argo).
In Kircher's Egyptian Planisphere Argo, is
represented by two galleys (as we have two sheepfolds), whose prows are
surmounted by rams' heads; and the stern of one of them ends in a fish's tail.
One of the two occupies four segments of the sphere (from TAURUS to VIRGO), while the other occupies the four
from LEO to CAPRICORNUS. One half of the southern meridians is occupied with these galleys and their
construction and decorations. Astronomers tell us that they carry us back, the
one to the period when the Bull opened the year (to which time VIRGIL refers);
and the other to the same epoch,
when the summer solstice was in LEO--"an era greatly antecedent to the
Argonautic expedition. How else, they ask, do we account for the one ship
having her prow in the first Decan of TAURUS, and her poop in the last decan of
LEO? or for one galley being freighted with the installed Bull, and the other with the solstitial Lion?"
Its brightest star, a (near the keel),
is called Canopus or Canobus, which
means the possession of Him who cometh. Other star-names are--Sephina, the multitude or abundance; Tureis, the
possession; Asmidiska, the released who travel; Soheil (Arabic), the desired; and Subilon, the Brach.”
This ship seems a bit torn between the lion and the bull, but
Christ says they are his as well.
In front of the harlot and driving her
to her doom is Leo the lion. He is in the center of the entire picture. His
front paw is at her head.
“Its Egyptian name is
Pi Mentekeon, which means
the pouring out. This is no
pouring out or inundation of the Nile, but it is the pouring out of the cup of
Divine wrath on that Old Serpent.”
We have recently crossed into the
season of pouring out (Aquarius) The previous 2,000 years were that of the fish
and before that Aries the ram.
“The Denderah picture exhibits all
four in one. The Lion is presented treading down the Serpent. The Bird of prey
is also perched upon it, while below is a plumed female figure holding out two cups, answering to Crater, the cup of wrath.
The hieroglyphics read Knem, and are placed underneath. Knem means who conquers, or is conquered,
referring to the victory over the serpent. The woman's name is Her-ua, great
enemy, referring to the great enemy for which her two cups are prepared and
intended.
The Hebrew name of the sign is Arieh, which means the Lion. There are six Hebrew words for Lion, * and this one is used of the Lion
hunting down his prey.
6. Arieh, an adult lion, having paired, in search of
his prey
Syriac name is Aryo, the rending Lion, and the Arabic is Al Asad; both mean a lion coming vehemently, leaping forth as a flame!
95 stars
The brightest star, a (on the
Ecliptic), marks the heart of the Lion (hence sometimes called by the moderns, Cor Leonis, the
heart of the Lion). Its
ancient name is Regulus, which means treading under foot. The next star, b, also of the 1st magnitude
(in the tip of the tail), is named Denebola, the Judge or
Lord who cometh. The star g (in the mane) is called Al Giebha (Arabic), the
exaltation. The star d (on
the hinder part of the back) is called Zosma, shining forth.
Other stars are named Sarcam (Hebrew), the joining; intimating
that here is the point where the two ends of the Zodiacal circle have their
joining. Another star has the name of Minchir al Asad (Arabic), the punishing or
tearing of the Lion. Another is Deneb Aleced, the judge cometh who seizes. And another is Al Dafera (Arabic), the enemy put
down.”
Behind the lion and above the virgin
is the Christ child: coma
It is being caught up to God and to
his throne
“ancient name of this constellation is Comah, the desired, or the longed for.
We have the word used by the Holy Spirit in this very connection, in Haggai
2:7--"The DESIRE of all nations shall come."
Hebrew name, by some nations called
IHESU, with the signification IEZA, which in Greek is called CHRISTOS."
ancient Egyptian name for this
constellation was Shes-nu, the
desired son!
43 stars
Beside the Christ child ascending, is the Christ descending to
claim his church. Bootes
“He is pictured as a man
walking rapidly, with a spear in his right hand and a sickle in his left hand.
The Greeks called him Bo-o-tes, which
is from the Hebrew root Bo (to come), meaning
the coming.
It is probable that his ancient name
was Arcturus * (as referred to in Job 9:9), for this is the name of the brightest
star, a (in the left knee). Arcturus means He cometh. **
** ARATUS calls him Arctophylax, i.e., the guardian of Arctos, the flock of
the greater fold, called today the Great Bear:
"Behind, and seeming to urge on
the Bear, Arctophylax,
on earth Bootes named, Sheds
o'er the Arctic car his silver light."
The ancient Egyptians called him Smat, which means one who rules, subdues, and governs. They also
called him Bau (a reminiscence of the more ancient Bo), which means also the
coming one.
The star m (in the spear-head) is
named Al
Katurops, which means
the branch, treading under foot.
The star e (just below the waist on
his right side) is called Mirac, or Mizar, or Izar. Mirac means
the coming forth as an arrow; Mizar, or Izar, means the preserver, guarding.
The star h is called Muphride, i.e. who
separates.
The star b (in the head) is named Nekkar, i.e. the
pierced (Zech 12:10), which
tells us that this coming judge is the One who was pierced. Another Hebrew name
is Merga, who bruises. *
54 stars”
While when he comes on the white horse
in the first seal, he is given a crown: Corona Australis, bootes is given
Corona Borealis, the northern crown.
The Bible talks about the one who now
restrains being taken out of the way.
Many believe this talks about the Holy Spirit. There is a serpent that is reaching for the
Corona Australis as well, but he has one that restrains him.
Serpens and Ophiuchus
“134 stars
The brightest star in the Serpent, a
(in the neck), is named Unuk, which means encompassing. another Hebrew name is Alyah, the accursed. From this is Al Hay(Arabic), the reptile. The next brightest star is b (in the jaw),
named, in Arabic, Cheleb, or Chelbalrai, the serpent enfolding. The Greek name, Ophiuchus, is itself from the Hebrew and Arabic name
Afeichus, which means the serpent held. The brightest star in Ophiuchus, a (in the head), is called Ras al Hagus (Arabic),
the head of him who holds.
Other Hebrew names of stars, not
identified, are Triophas,
treading under foot; Saiph (in
the foot * of Ophiuchus), bruised;
Carnebus, the wounding; Megeros, contending. ** In the Zodiac of Denderah we have a throned human figure, called
Api-bau, the chief who cometh. He has a hawk's head to show that he is the
enemy of the serpent, which is called Khu, and means ruled or enemy.
* In 1604 a new star
appeared in the eastern foot of Ophiuchus, but disappeared again in 1605. ** There is an ancient
Greek fable which calls Ophiuchus Aesculapius, the son of Apollo. Having
restored Hippolytus to life, he was everywhere worshipped as the god of health,
and hence the serpent entwined around him is, to this day, the symbol of the
medical art!”
Christ has this crown because he is
worthy and he is king of kings. The image of the scene he just left in the
heavens can still be seen in the form of Hercules above bootes.
“ Here the mighty one, who occupies a large
portion of the heavens, is seen bending on one knee, with his right heel lifted
up as if it had been wounded, while his left foot is set directly over the head
of the great dragon. In his right hand he wields a great club, and in his left
hand he grasps a triple-headed monster (Cerberus). And he has the skin
of a lion, which he has slain, thrown around him. *
* Cerberus, or the
serpent with three heads, was placed by Hevelius (1611-1687) by the side of
Hercules. Bayer had previously placed the apple branch in his hand. This was
symbolical of the golden apples of Hesperides, which he obtained by killing this three-headed hydra, by whom they were guarded. In our
picture these are combined, and a bow and quiver added from other ancient authorities.
In the Zodiac of Denderah we have a
human figure, likewise with a club. His name is Bau, which means who
cometh, and is evidently
intended for Him who cometh to crush the serpent's head, and "destroy the
works of the devil."
In Arabic he is called Al Giscale, the
strong one.

The brightest star, a (in his head),
is named Ras
al Gethi, and means the head of him who bruises.
The next, b (in the right arm-pit, is
named Kornephorus, and means the branch, kneeling.
The star k (in the right elbow) is
called Marsic,
the wounding.
The star l (in the upper part of the
left arm) is named Ma'asyn, the sin-offering.
While w (in the lower part of the
right arm) is Caiam, or Guiam, punishing; and
in Arabic, treading under
foot.”
While he was in heaven, each of the
elders had a golden harp: Lyra
“Its brightest star, a,
is one of the most glorious in the heavens, and by it this constellation may be
easily known. It shines with a splendid white lustre. It is called Vega, which means He shall be exalted. Its root occurs in the opening of the Song
of Moses,
Its other stars, b and g, are also
conspicuous stars, of the 2nd and 4th magnitude. b is called Shelyuk, which
means an eagle (as does
the Arabic Al Nesr); g is
called Sulaphat, springing up, or ascending, as
praise.”
Well off to the left, and perhaps once the wings of Draco the
dragon is Capricornus: the sea goat.
51 stars
“The Goat is bowing its
head as though falling down in death. The right leg is folded underneath the
body, and he seems unable to rise with the left. The tail of the fish, on the
other hand, seems to be full of vigour and life.
The Hebrew name of the sign is Gedi, the kid
or cut off, the same as
the Arabic Al Gedi. CAPRICORNUS is merely the modern (Latin)
name of the sign, and means goat.
Other star-names in the sign are Dabih (Syriac),
the sacrifice slain; Al Dabik and
Al Dehabeh (Arabic) have the
same meaning; Ma'asad, the slaying; Sa'ad al Naschira, the record of
the cutting off.”
I see in this constellation those the
devil tried to take such as in the death of Abel and those Christ died to
redeem. An eagle has found their place and is flying to them: Aquila
74 stars
note that the harlot is clothed in
scarlet.
“The brightest of them, a (in the
Eagle's neck), is a notable star of the 1st magnitude, called Al Tair (Arabic),
the wounding. The star b (in the
throat) is called Al Shain (Arabic), the bright,
from a Hebrew root meaning scarlet coloured, as in Joshua 2:18. The star g (in the back)
is called Tarared, wounded,
or torn. d (in the lower
wing) is named Alcair,
which means the piercing,
and e (in the tail), Al Okal, has the significant meaning wounded in the heel.”
The eagle could signify the dragon spewing the flood after the woman, but the earth opens its mouth and
helps the woman.
DELPHINUS: the dolphin could be the
water that the dragon spews.
The ancient names connected with this
constellation are Dalaph (Hebrew), pouring out of water;
Dalaph (Arabic), coming
quickly; Scalooin (Arabic), swift
(as the flow of water); Rotaneb
or Rotaneu (Syriac and Chaldee), swiftly
running.
Above them Aquarius is pouring out a
stream of healing on them.
Aquarius: the blood of the Lamb and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
“The man is called Hupei Tirion,
which means the place of him coming down or poured forth.
108 stars
Hebrew, Deli, the water-urn, or bucket (as in Numbers
24:7); the Arabic Delu
is the same.
The star a (in the right shoulder) is
called Sa'ad
al Melik, which means
The record of the pouring forth.
The star b (in the other shoulder) is
called Saad
al Sund, who goeth and returneth, or the pourer out.
The bright star d (in the lower part
of the right leg) is well-known today by its Hebrew name Scheat, which means who goeth and returneth.
The bright star in the urn has an
Egyptian name--Mon or Meon, which means
simply an urn.
Aquarius is the modern Latin name by
which the sign is known. It has the same meaning, the pourer forth of water.”
When the dead are raised, for some it
is to shame and for some to everlasting life. The eagle could represent coming to drag them out of hiding. But on the other side of
Aquarius, they are being caught up.
Piscis Australis, the southern fish
who rise to shame.
“ its brilliant star of the first magnitude was
a subject of great study by the Egyptians and Ethiopians. It is named in Arabic
Fom al Haut, the mouth of the fish

Pisces
“ The Sign is pictured
as two large fishes bound together by a Band, the ends of which are fastened separately
to their tails. One fish is represented with its head pointing upwards towards
the North Polar Star, the other is shown at right angles, swimming along the
line of the ecliptic, or path of the sun.
ancient Egyptian name, as shown on the
Denderah Zodiac, is Pi-cot Orion, or Pisces Hori, which means the fishes of Him
that cometh.
Hebrew name is Dagim, the Fishes,
which is closely connected with multitudes
Syriac name is Nuno, the fish, lengthened out (as in posterity).
The band that unites these two fishes...
ancient Egyptian name was U-or, which means He cometh. Its Arabic name is Al
Risha, the band, or bridle.
It speaks of the Coming One, not in
His relation to Himself, or to His enemies, but in His relation to the Redeemed. It speaks of Him who says:
"I drew them with cords of a man, With bands of love;
And I was to them as they that take off
the yoke on their jaws." Hosea
11:4, RV
But it speaks also of His unloosing
the bands with which they have been so long bound.
One end of the band is fastened securely round the tail of one
fish, and it is the same with the other. Moreover, this band is fastened to the neck of Cetus, the sea
monster, while immediately above is seen a woman chained as a captive. These
both tell the same story, and, indeed, all are required to set forth the whole
truth. The fishes are bound
to Cetus; the woman (Andromeda)
is chained; but the Deliverer of both is near. Cepheus, the Crowned King, the
Redeemer, "the Breaker," the Branch, is seen coming quickly for the
deliverance of His redeemed. These are the three constellations of this sign,
and all three are required to set forth the story.”
A phoenix is also rising toward the
fish from the opposite side of the eagle.
Before the last of the churches can be
raptured, Cyngus the swan must fly through the midst of heaven with the gospel.
Revelation 14
6 Then
I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting
gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe,
tongue, and people— 7 saying with
a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has
come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”
two other angels follow.
“the Denderah Zodiac it
is named Tes-ark, which
means this from afar.
81 stars, It contains
variable stars, five double stars, and one quadruple. The star marekd "61
Cygni" is known as one of the most wonderful in the whole heavens. It
consists of two stars which revolve about each other, and yet have a
progressive motion common to each!
it is flying swiftly in mid-heaven. It
is coming to the earth, for it is not so much a bird of the air, but a bird
peculiarly belonging to both the earth and the waters.
Its brightest star a (between the body
and the tail), is called Deneb (like another in CAPRICORNUS), and means the judge. It is also called Adige,
flying swiftly, and thus at
once it is connected with Him who cometh to judge the earth in righteousness.
The star b (in the beak) is named Al Bireo (Arabic), flying quickly.
The star g (in the body) is called Sadr (Hebrew), who returns as in a circle.
The two stars in the tail, now marked
in the maps as p I and p II, are named Azel, who goes and returns quickly; and Fafage, gloriously shining forth.”
The message of the gospel is spread
clearly before the angel in Ursa Major and Minor. In between these two crosses
is the tail of the dragon where those who were once hopelessly lost once shone.
In their place Christ hung.
Ursa Minor: those who wait for his
coming
“in Hebrew there is a word very
similar in sound, though not in spelling--dohv, which means a bear! So we find in Arabic dub; Persian, deeb
and dob. We can see,
therefore, how the Hebrew Dohver,
a fold, and Dohv, a bear, were confused; and how the Arabic Dubah, cattle, might easily have been mistaken by the
Greeks, and understood as a bear.
The constellation, which we must
therefore call THE LESSER SHEEPFOLD,
24 stars
The brightest star, a (at the point of
the tail), is the most important in the whole heavens. It is named Al Ruccaba,
which means the turned or
ridden on, and is today the
Polar or central star, which does not revolve in a circle as does every other
star, but remains, apparently, fixed in its position. But though the star does
not revolve like the others, the central point in the heavens is very slowly
but steadily moving. When these constellations were formed the Dragon possessed
this important point, and the star a, in Draco, marked this central point. But, by its
gradual recession, that point is sufficiently near this star Ruccaba, in the Lesser Sheepfold, for it to be what is called "the Polar
Star."
This star was called by the Greeks the
"Cynosure." ARATUS seems to apply this term to the whole
of the seven stars of the Lesser Bear. Mr. Robert Brown, Jr., shows that this word
once supposed to be Hellenic, is non-Hellenic, and possibly Euphratean in
origin, from a word which he transliterates An-nas-sur-ra, and renders it, "as it literally
means, high in rising,
i.e., in heavenly position."
The bright star b is named Kochab, which
means waiting Him who cometh. Other stars are named Al Pherdadain (Arabic), which means the calves, or the young (as in Deut 22:6), the redeemed
assembly. Another, Al
Gedi, means the kid. Another is Al Kaid, the assembled; while Arcas, or Arctos (from which we derive the term Arcticregions), means, according to one
interpreter, a travelling company; or, according to another, the stronghold of the saved.”
Draco: satan
“80 stars
The brightest star a (in one of the
latter coils), is named Thuban (Heb.), the subtle. Some 4,620 years ago it was the Polar Star.
The next star, b (in the head), is
called by the Hebrew name Rastaban, and means the head of
the subtle (serpent).
In the Arabic it is still called Al Waid, which means
who is to be destroyed.
The next star, g (also in the head),
is called Ethanin, i.e., the long serpent, or
dragon.
The Hebrew names of other stars are Grumian, the subtle;
Giansar, the punished enemy.
Other (Arabic) names are Al
Dib, the reptile; El Athik, the fraudful; El Asieh, the bowed down.”
Ursa Major: the innumerable in heaven
“87 stars
In the Book of Job (9:9, and 38:31,32)
it is mentioned under the name of Ash. "Canst thou guide Ash and her offspring?"
The Arabs still call it Al Naish, or Annaish, the assembled together, as sheep in a fold. The ancient Jewish commentators interpreted Ash as the seven stars of this constellation. They are called by others
Septentriones, which thus became the Latin word for
North.
The brightest star, a (in the back),
is named Dubhe, which, as we have seen, means a herd of animals, or a flock, and gives its
name to the whole constellation.
The star b (below it) is named Merach (Hebrew), the flock (Arabic,
purchased).
The star g (on the left of b) is
called Phaeda, or Phacda, meaning
visited, guarded, or numbered, as a flock;
for His sheep, like the stars, are both numbered and named. (See Psalm 147:4)
The star e is called Alioth, a name we have had in Auriga, meaning a she goat.
The star z (in the middle of the tail)
is called Mizar,
separate or small, and close to it Al
Cor, the Lamb.
The star h (at the end of the
so-called tail) is named Benet Naish (Arabic), the daughters of the assembly. It is also called Al
Kaid, the assembled.
The star i (in its right foot) is
called Talitha.
The names of other stars all give the same testimony: El Alcola (Arabic), the sheepfold (as in Psa 95:7; and 100:3); Cab'd al Asad, multitude, many assembled; Annaish, the assembled; Megrez, separated, as the flock in the fold; El Kaphrah, protected, covered (Heb. redeemed and ransomed); Dubheh Lachar (Arabic), the latter herd or flock; Helike (so called by HOMER in the Iliad), company of travellers; Amaza (Greek), coming and going; Calisto, the sheepfold set or appointed.”
Gemini: the two witnesses
They are next to Ursa Major and practically surrounded by enemies on every side.
“The name in the ancient Denderah
Zodiac is Clusus, or Claustrum Hor, which
means the place of Him who
cometh. It is represented by
two human figures walking, or coming. The second appears to be a woman. The
other appears to be a man. It is a tailed figure, the tail signifying He cometh.
The old Coptic name was Pi-Mahi, the united, as in brotherhood. Not necessarily united
by being born at the same time, but united in one
fellowship or brotherhood. The Hebrew name is Thaumim, which means
united. The root is used in Exodus 26:24 "They
(the two boards) shall be coupled together beneath." In the margin we
read, "Heb. twinned" (RV double). The Arabic Al Tauman means the same.
85 stars
The two were both heroes of peculiar
and extraordinary birth--sons of Jupiter. They were supposed to appear at the
head of armies; and as they had cleared the seas of pirates, they were looked
upon as the patron saints of navigation.
The name of a (in the head of one) is
called Apollo, which means ruler,
or judge; while b (in the
head of the other) is called Hercules, who cometh to labour, or suffer. Another star, g (in his left foot), is
called Al Henah, which
means hurt, wounded, or
afflicted.
He bears in his right hand (in some
pictures) a palm branch. Some pictures show a club; but both the club or bow
are in repose! These united ones are neither in action nor are they preparing for
action, but they are at rest and in peace after
victory won. The star e (in the knee of the other, "Apollo") is
called Mebsuta, which
means treading under feet.
The names of other stars have come down to us with the same testimony. One is
called Propus (Hebrew),
the branch, spreading; another
is called Al Giauza (Arabic),
the palm branch; another is
named Al Dira (Arabic),
the seed, or branch.”
Next to Gemini, Orion is battling taurus and lepus.
Orion: the most powerful of all
“He is so pictured in
the ancient Denderah Zodiac, where we see a man coming forth pointing to the
three bright stars (Rigel, Bellatrix, and Betelguez) as
his. His name is given as Ha-ga-t, which means this is he who triumphs. The hieroglyphic characters below read
Oar. Orion was anciently spelt
Oarion, from the Hebrew root,
which means light. So
that Orion means coming forth as light. The ancient Akkadian was Ur-ana, the light of heaven.
See Job 9:9; 38:31, and Amos 5:8 (Heb. Chesil, which
means a strong one, a hero,
or giant).
A little way below i (in the sword) is
a very remarkable nebulous star. A common telescope will show that it is a
beautiful nebula. A powerful telescope reveals it as consisting of collections
of nebulous stars, these again being surrounded by faint luminous points, which
still more powerful telescopes would resolve into separate stars.
The picture presents us with "the
Light of the world." His left foot is significantly placed upon the head
of the enemy. He is girded with a glorious girdle, studded with three brilliant
stars; and upon this girdle is hung a sharp sword. Its handle proves that this
mighty Prince is come forth in a new character.
The brightest, a (in the right
shoulder), is named Betelgeuz, which means the
coming (Mal 3:2) of the branch.
The next, b (in the left foot), is
named Rigel, or Rigol, which means
the foot that crusheth. The foot is lifted up, and placed
immediately over the head of the enemy, as though in the very act of crushing
it. Thus, the name of the star bespeaks the act.
The next star, g (in the left
shoulder), is called Bellatrix, which means quickly
coming, or swiftly destroying.
The name of the fourth star, d (one of
the three in the belt), carries us back to the old, old story, that this
glorious One was once humbled; that His heel was once bruised. Its name is Al Nitak, the
wounded One. * Similarly the
star k (in the right leg) is called Saiph, bruised, which
is the very word used in Genesis 3:15, thus connecting Orion with the primeval
prophecy. Like Ophiuchus, he has one leg bruised; while, with the other, he is crushing the enemy
under foot.
* The star z (in the
belt) is called Mintaka, dividing, as a sacrifice (Lev 8:2).
This is betokened by other stars named Al Rai, who bruises,
who breaks (as in Cepheus); and Thabit
(Hebrew), treading on.
Other (Arabic) names relate to His
Person: Al
Giauza, the branch; Al Gebor, the mighty; Al Mirzam, the ruler; Al Nagjed, the
prince; Niphla (Chaldee),
the mighty; Nux(Hebrew), the strong. Some names
relate to His coming, as Betelgeuse
and Bellatrix, as above;
Heka (Chaldee), coming; and Meissa (Hebrew), coming forth.”

“Denderah Zodiac it is a
river under the feet of Orion. It is named Peh-ta-t, which means the mouth of the
river.
84 stars
The brightest star, a (at the mouth of
the river), bears the ancient name of Achernar, which is in, as its name means, the after part of the river.
The next star, b (at the source of the
river), is named Cursa, which means bent down. The next, g (at the second bend in the
river), is called Zourac
(Arabic) flowing. Other stars are Pheat,
mouth (of the river); and
Ozha, the going forth.”
Lepus: the false prophet
“ Denderah (Egyptian) Zodiac it is an unclean
bird standing on the serpent, which is under the feet of Orion. Its name there
is given as Bashti-beki. Bashti means confounded,
and Beki means failing.
19 stars
The brightest, a (in the body), has a
Hebrew name, Arnebo, which means the enemy of Him that cometh. The Arabic, Arnebeth, means the same. Other stars are Nibal,
the mad; Rakis, the bound (Arabic,
with a chain); Sugia, the deceiver.”
Taurus: the seven headed beast and ten crowns
“called him Isis, i.e., who saves or delivers, and Apis, i.e., the head or chief. The Bull is clearly represented, and in all the zodiacs which have come
down to us is always in the act of pushing, or rushing.
141 stars
The name of the sign in Chaldee is Tor. Hence,
Arabic, Al Thaur; Greek,
Tauros; Latin, Taurus, etc. The more common Hebrew name was
Shur, which is from a root which
means both coming and
ruling. There are several Hebrew
words for bulls and oxen, etc. But the common poetical term for all is Reem, conveying the idea of loftiness,
exaltation, power, and pre-eminence. We find the root in other kindred
languages (Etruscan, Sanscrit, etc.), and it can be traced in the name of
Abram, which means pre-eminent or high father; Ramah, high place, etc.
The brightest star, a (in the bull's
eye), has a Chaldee name--Al Debaran, and means the leader
or governor. The star b
(at the tip of the left horn) has an Arabic name--El Nath, meaning
wounded or slain. Another
prophetic intimation that this coming Lord should be first slain as a
sacrifice.
Then there is the cluster of stars
known as the Pleiades. This word, which means the congregation of the judge or ruler, comes to us
through the Greek Septuagint as the translation of the Hebrew kimah, which means the heap
or accumulation, and
occurs in Job 9:9; 38:31, 32, and Amos 5:8.
It consists of a number of stars (in
the neck of Taurus) which appear to be near together. The brightest of them,
marked h in all the maps, * has come down to us with an Arabic name--Al
Cyone, which means the centre, and has given the idea to some astronomers that it is the centre of the
whole universe. The Syriac name for the Pleiades is Succoth, which means booths.
Another group of stars (on the face of
the Bull) is known as The Hyades, * which has the similar meaning of the congregated.
* The Pleiades and
Hyades are sometimes spoken of as constellations,
Other stars are named Palilicium (Hebrew),
belonging to the judge; Wasat (Arabic),
centre or foundation;
Al Thuraiya (Arabic), the
abundance; Vergiliae (Latin),
the centre (Arabic, vertex)
turned on, rolled round.”
We know from the first two horsemen,
that Christ has both a bow and a sword. His bow reaches Cetus in front of him
who is attacking the fishes: Leviathan.
“a great sea-monster, the largest of
all the constellations.
97 stars
Denderah Zodiac is Knem, which
means subdued.
The brightest star, a (in the upper
mandible), is named Menikar, and means the bound or chained enemy. The next, b (in the tail), is called
Diphda, or Deneb
Kaitos, overthrown, or thrust
down. The star o (in the neck) is
named Mira, which means
THE REBEL. Its names is ominous, for the star is one of the most remarkable. It
is very bright, but it was not till 1596 that it was discovered to be variable. It disappears periodically seven
times in six years! It continues at its brightest for
fifteen days together. M. Bade says that during 334 days it shines with its
greatest light, then it diminishes, till it entirely disappears for some time
(to the naked eye). In fact, during that period it passes through several
degrees of magnitude, both increasing and diminishing. Indeed its variableness
is so great as to make it appear unsteady!”
Above Cetus is Aries.
“Denderah Zodiac its
name is Tametouris Ammon, which means the reign, dominion, or government of Ammon.
The lamb's head is without horns, and is crowned with a circle.
The Hebrew name is Taleh, the lamb. The Arabic name is Al Hamal, the sheep, gentle, merciful. This name has been mistakenly given by some
to the principal star, a. The Syriac name is Amroo,
The ancient Akkadian name was Bara-ziggar. Bar means
altar, or sacrifice; and ziggar means right making; so that the full name would be the
sacrifice of righteousness.
66 stars
Its chief star, a (in the forehead),
is named El Nath, or El Natik,
which means wounded, slain.
The next, b (in the left horn), is called Al Sheratan, the bruised,
the wounded. The next g (near to b
), is called Mesarim (Hebrew),
the bound.”
In this one we could possibly see the one that was and is and
yet is not (the beast of the sea) and in Auriga the fold of the false prophet.
Maybe this is the image that is made that can speak! But you will know them by
their fruits. It is Perseus next to him that holds the head of the sea monster.
Behind Orion and between the Gamini twins and their home is
Auriga, the shepherd.
He is presented as a charioteer safely taking the last of his
young ones home.
“AURIGA is from a Hebrew
root which means a shepherd. It is a beautiful constellation of 66 stars
The brightest star, a (in the body of
the goat), points her out as the prominent feature of the constellation, for
its name Alioth
(Hebrew) means a she goat. It is known by the modern Latin name Capella, which has the
same meaning.
The next star, b (in the shepherd's
right arm), is called Menkilinon, and means the band, or chain of the goats,
and points out the truth that they are never more to be lost again, but to be
bound, with the bands of love, to the Shepherd for evermore.
The name of another star is Maaz, which means a flock of goats.
Can there be any mistake as to who
this Shepherd is? for the bright star in his right foot is called El Nath (like another in ARIES), which means wounded or slain. This is He, then, who was once bruised or
wounded in the heel. He is "the GOOD Shepherd," who gave His life for
the sheep (John 10:11), but He was "the GREAT Shepherd" brought again
from the dead (Heb 13:20); and is now the CHIEF Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4) seen in
the day of His coming glory. Another star emphasises this truth, for it is
named Aiyuk, which also means wounded in the foot.
The star marking the kids is called Gedi (Hebrew), kids.
In Latin, the word Auriga means a coachman or charioteer”
The weird thing is both Auriga and
Aries the lamb have 66 stars. This may be because we will be told, look he is
here, and he is here, but do not believe them. When Christ comes, we will know
him. so Aries and Auriga could represent false prophets.
Perseus: If Cetus is the subdued, then Perseus is the subduer.
“In the Denderah Zodiac
His Name is Kar Knem, he who fights and subdues.
59 stars
The star a (in the waist) is called Mirfak, who helps. The next, g (in the right shoulder), is
named Al Genib, which means who carries away. The bright star in the left foot is called
Athik, who breaks!
In his left hand he carries a head,
which, by perversion, the Greeks called the head of Medusa, being ignorant that
its Hebrew root meant the trodden under foot. It is also called Rosh Satan (Hebrew), the head of
the adversary, and Al Oneh (Arabic), the subdued, or Al Ghoul, the evil spirit.
The bright star, b (in this head), has
come down to us with the name Al Gol, which means rolling
round.
It is a most remarkable phenomenon
that so many of these enemies should be characterized by variable stars! But
this head of Medusa, like the neck of Cetus, has one. Al Gol
is continually changing. In about 69
hours it changes from the 4th magnitude to the 2nd. During four hours of this
period it gradually diminishes in brightness, which it recovers in the
succeeding four hours; and in the remaining part of the time invariably
preserves its greatest lustre. After the expiration of this time its brightness
begins to decrease again”
This just leaves us a few more
constellations in the north.
Cassiopeia is the church in heaven
during the Great tribulation. They have their own Bema judgment then a marriage
supper.
“ULUGH BEY says its Arabic name is El Seder, which means the freed.
In the Denderah Zodiac her name is Set, which means set, set up as Queen. ALBUMAZER says this constellation was
anciently called "the daughter of splendour." This appears to
be the meaning of the word Cassiopeia,
the enthroned, the beautiful.
The Arabic name is Ruchba,
the enthroned This is also
the meaning of its Chaldee name, Dat al cursa.
55 stars
This beautiful constellation passes
vertically over Great Britain every day, and is easily distinguished by its
five brightest stars, forming an irregular "W."
In the year 1572 Tycho Brahe
discovered in this constellation, and very near the star k (under the arm of
the chair), a new star, which shone more brightly than Venus. It was observed
for nearly two years, and disappeared entirely in 1574.
The brightest star, a (in the left breast), is named Schedir (Hebrew), which means the freed. The next, b (in the top of the chair), likewise bears a Hebrew name--Caph, which means the branch; it is evidently given on account of the branch of victory which she bears in her hand.”
Cassiopeia is the host before the
throne of Cepheus.
“Here we have the presentation of a
glorious king, crowned, and enthroned in the highest heaven, with a sceptre in
his hand, and his foot planted on the very Polar Star itself.
His name in the Denderah Zodiac is Pe-ku-hor, which means this one cometh to rule.
The Greek name by which he is now
known, Cepheus, is from the Hebrew, and means the branch, and is called by EURIPIDES the king.
An old Ethiopian name was Hyk, a king.
35 stars
The brightest star, a (in the right
shoulder), is called Al Deramin, which means coming quickly. The next, b (in the girdle), is named
Al Phirk (Arabic), the
Redeemer. The next g (in the left
knee), is called Al Rai,
which means who bruises or
breaks.
Pegasus: the battle of Armagedon
“Denderah Zodiac there are two
characters immediately below the horse, Pe and ka. Peka or Pega, is in Hebrew the chief, and Sus is horse.
89 stars
The brightest a (on the neck of the
horse at the junction of the wing), comes down to us with the ancient Hebrew
name of Markab, which means returning from afar. The star b (in the near shoulder) is called Scheat, i.e., who goeth and returneth
The star g (at the tip of the wing)
bears an Arabic name--Al Genib, who carries. The star e (in the nostril) is called
Enif (Arabic), the
water The star h (in the near leg)
is called Matar (Arabic),
who causes to flow.”
This could be a picture of those in
heaven who have washed their robes and then Christ leading them all on white
horses. They go to heaven, then return for the final battle.
An arrow: Sagitta is coming out of the
mouth of Pegasus straight toward the one one holding up the serpent: Ophiuchus.
Sagitta: 18 stars
“The Hebrew name is
Sham, destroying, or desolate.”
Andromeda: the great white throne judgment.
“Denderah Zodiac her
name is Set, which means

Nothing in this book do I claim to be
the Word of God. If anything is good and
helpful, then to God be the glory, and if anything is incorrect, then please
forgive me and I would love to be led into better accuracy. I simply am putting this out here to be the
best representation I know to currently give in order that others may be helped. I enjoy spending time with God in his Word
and feeling like he is responding by bringing whispers to my memory of things
he says in his Word. Looking forward to
that day when we will see him as he is and no one we any longer need to teach
his neighbor, for all will know him!
