One of the more powerful pictures of the returning Christ, coming in power as a mighty ruler. The constellation when drawn has always shown the hilt of the sword as a lambs head. Nearly all the star names are reflected in the bible as symbolising the Name or Nature of Christ! The foot of Orion is on the head of Lepus (the enemy) and from the same foot flows Eridanus (the fiery river of God's wrath). The name Orion is based upon the Hebrew word for Light.

		Propus	The Branch, spreading
		Al Giauza	The palm branch

Note: All the deacons of Gemini have been confused. This is of interest as they depict the conquered enemy (Satan) and a glorified and ruling Christ!

There is Confusion over this constellation as to it's ancient picture. Canis Major is know as the "The Dog" (from the Latin & Greek) it is also known by it's brightest star Sirus "The Prince". The Denderah shows this constellation as having the head of a hawk, the natural enemy of the serpent, the Persian planisphere shows it as a wolf. The star Sirus is the brightest of all.

His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

	Meaning: The Lesser Sheepfold
	Star	Ancient Name	Meaning
	a	Al Ruccaba	The turned or ridden on
		or Polaris	High in rising (New Pole Star)
	b	Kochab	Waiting for the coming
Known today as the Little Bear the ancient Zodiacs do not show a bear (nor has there ever been a bear with such a huge tail). The names of the stars indicate that this should be called "The Lesser Sheepfold".		Al Kaid	The assembled

Here we have a graphic description of the final end of the Serpent, with Judgement and Wrath being poured out upon her.

Rev 20:14,15 Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
