The constellation is inseparable from Aquarius, in connection with which we have shown it in Plate XVIII. In the Denderah Zodiac it is called _Aar_, _a stream_. It sets forth the simple truth that the blessings procured by the MAN—the coming Seed of the woman, will be surely bestowed and received by those for whom they are intended. There will be no failure in their communication, or in their reception. What has been purchased shall be secured and possessed. 2. PEGASUS (The Winged Horse). _The Blessings Quickly Coming._ Not only shall they be received, but they shall be brought near. They will not have to be fetched, but they will be caused to come to those for whom they are procured, and will yet be _brought_ by Him who has procured them. [Illustration] Plate 19: PEGASUS (the Winged Horse) In the 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_. So that the very word (_Pegasus_) has come down to us and has been preserved through all the languages. The names of the stars in this constellation declare to us its meaning. There are 89 altogether; one of the 1st magnitude, two of the 2nd, three of the 3rd, nine of the 4th, etc. And, as astronomers testify, “they render Pegasus peculiarly remarkable.” The brightest, α (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 β (in the near shoulder) is called _Scheat_, _i.e._, _who goeth and returneth_. The star γ (at the tip of the wing) bears an Arabic name—_Al Genib_, _who carries_. The star ε (in the nostril) is called _Enif_ (Arabic), _the water_. The star η (in the near leg) is called _Matar_ (Arabic), _who causes to overflow_. These names show us that we have to do with no mere horse. A winged horse is unknown to nature. It must therefore be used as a figure; and it can be a figure only of a person, even of Him who is “_the Branch_,” as the star _Enif_ shows, who said, “If I go away I will come again,” as the star _Scheat_ testifies. He who procured these blessings for the redeemed by His Atonement, is quickly coming to bring them; and is soon returning to pour them forth upon a groaning creation. This is the lesson of Pegasus. “Come, blessed Lord, bid every shore And answering island sing The praises of Thy royal Name, And own Thee as their King. Lord, Lord! Thy fair creation groans— The earth, the air, the sea— In unison with all our hearts, And calls aloud for Thee. Thine was the Cross with all its fruits Of grace and peace divine: Be Thine the Crown of glory now, The palm of victory Thine.” 3. CYGNUS (The Swan). _The Blesser surely Returning._
