Its other stars, β and γ, are also conspicuous stars, of the 2nd and 4th magnitude. β is called _Shelyuk_, which means _an eagle_ (as does the Arabic, _Al Nesr_); γ is called _Sulaphat_, _springing up_, or _ascending_, as praise. In the Zodiac of Denderah, this constellation is figured as a hawk or an eagle (the enemy of the serpent) in triumph. Its name is _Fent‐kar_, which means _the serpent ruled_. There may be some confusion between the Hebrew נֶשֶׁר, _Nesher_, _an eagle_, and עָשׂוֹר, _Gnasor_, _a harp_;(45) but there can be no doubt about the grand central truth, that praise shall ascend up “as an eagle toward heaven,” when “every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that is in them,” shall send up their universal song of praise: “Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. Amen” (Rev. v. 13, 14). And for what is all this wondrous anthem of Praise? Listen once again. “Alleluia:(46) Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God; for TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS ARE HIS JUDGMENTS.... And again they said Alleluia” (Rev. xix. 1‐3). With “that blessed hope” before us, Let no HARP remain unstrung, Let the coming advent chorus Onward roll from tongue to tongue, Hallelujah, “Come, Lord Jesus,” quickly come. This brings us to— 2. ARA (The Altar). _Consuming Fire Prepared for His Enemies._ Here we have an altar or burning pyre, placed significantly and ominously upside down! with its fires burning and pointing downwards towards the lower regions, called _Tartarus_, or _the abyss_, or “outer‐darkness.” [Illustration] Plate 14: ARA (the Altar) It is an asterism with nine stars, of which three are of the 3rd magnitude, four of the 4th, etc. It is south of the Scorpion’s tail, and when these constellations were first formed it was visible only on the very lowest horizon of the south, pointing to the completion of all judgment in the lake of fire. In the Zodiac of Denderah we have a different picture, giving us another aspect of the same judgment. 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 בּוֹא (_Bōh_), _to come_, as in Isa. lxiii. 1: “Who is this that cometh from Edom, With dyed garments from Bozrah.” This is a coming in judgment, as is clear from 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.” (Isa. lxiii. 4, 5.)
