We have said (pages 17, etc.) that at a very early period these signs were appropriated to the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and borne upon their “standards.” This may be traced in the Blessing of Jacob (Gen. xlix.), and in the Blessing of Moses (Deut. xxxiii.). Taurus was assigned to Joseph, or rather to his two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, like the two powerful horns: “The firstling of his bullock (marg. _his firstling bullock_)—majesty is his, And his horns are the horns of the wild‐ox (_Reem_). With them he shall PUSH (marg. _gore_) the peoples, all of them, even the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.” (Deut. xxxiii, 17, R.V.) It is not, however, merely by men alone that this will be done, for David sings: “Thou art my King, O GOD.... Through Thee will we PUSH down our enemies; Through Thy Name will we tread them under that rise up against us.” (Ps. xliv. 5.) “I will punish the world for their evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.... Every one that is found shall be THRUST THROUGH.” (Isa. xiii. 11‐15.) Speaking of that day, the Holy Spirit says by Isaiah: For the LORD hath indignation against all the nations,” And fury against all their host: He hath utterly destroyed them, He hath delivered them to the slaughter.... The LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom, And the wild oxen [_Reem_] shall come down with them, And the bullocks with the bulls; And their land shall be drunken with blood, And their dust made fat with fatness. For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, The year of recompense in the controversy of Zion.” (Isa. xxxiv. 2‐8, R.V.) “Behold, the LORD cometh forth out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: The earth also shall disclose her blood, And shall no more cover her slain.” (Isa. xxvi. 21.) This is the united testimony of the two Revelations. It is pictured in the heavens, and it is written in the Book. It is the prophecy of a coming Judge, and of a coming judgment. It is, however, no mere _Bull_ that is coming. It is a man, a glorious man, even “the Son of Man.” This is the first development, shown in the first of the three constellations belonging to the sign. 1. ORION (The Coming Prince). _Light Breaking Forth in the Redeemer._ [Illustration] Plate 29: ORION (the Glorious One) This picture is to show that the coming one is no mere animal, but a man: a mighty, triumphant, glorious prince.
