(Isa. xxxii. 1, 2). It speaks of that glorious time when Israel shall be restored, and their “eyes shall see the King in His beauty”; when the peace of Zion shall be no more disturbed, “but there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams” (Isa. xxxiii. 17, 20, 21). Then “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose, For in the wilderness shall waters break out, And streams in the desert.” (Isa. xxxv. 1, 6.) “I will open rivers in high places, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water.” (Isa. xli. 18.) “Fear not, O Jacob, My servant; And thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen, For I will POUR WATER upon him that is thirsty, And floods upon the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, And My blessing upon thy offspring. Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, And his Redeemer the LORD of hosts.” (Isa. xliv. 2, 3, 6.) This is the meaning of the Sign. The MAN Christ Jesus, who was humbled in death will yet be seen to be the pourer forth of every blessing. _Physically_ pouring forth literal waters, removing the curse, and turning this world into a paradise: “Making her wilderness like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD.” (Isa. li. 3.) And _morally_ pouring forth His Spirit in such abundance as to fill the whole earth with peace, and blessing, and glory, “as the waters cover the sea.” Upon Israel restored He will pour out His blessing. They will be sprinkled with clean water, and possess a new heart and a new spirit (Ezek. xxxvi. 24‐28; Joel ii. 28‐32). Such are some of the Scriptures which tell of this glorious Water‐pourer. We need not rob Christ of His glory, or Israel of her blessing, in order to see in all this Pentecost or the Church. These are quite independent of the great line of prophetic truth. They are parenthetical, and distinct, and true, quite apart from the glorious prophecies of Israel’s scattering and gathering. The physical marvels referred to in the texts above can never be satisfied or exhausted by any spiritual fulfilment. We may make an _application_ of them as far as is consistent with the teaching of the epistles; but the _interpretation_ of them belongs to the Person of Christ, and the nation of Israel. That interpretation is pictured for us in the Sign, and in its three constellations. 1. PISCIS AUSTRALIS (The Southern Fish). _The Blessings Bestowed._ This first constellation is one of high antiquity,(50) and 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_. There are 22 other stars.
