“God is the Judge. He putteth down one, and setteth up another, FOR IN THE HAND OF THE LORD THERE IS A CUP, And the wine is red; it is full of mixture, And He poureth out of the same: But the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out and drink them.” (Ps. lxxv. 8.) “Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, Fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: THIS SHALL BE THE PORTION OF THEIR CUP.” (Ps. xi. 6.) This is no fabled wine‐cup of Bacchus; but it is “The cup of His indignation” (Rev. xiv. 10); “The cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath” (Rev. xvi. 19). This is what we see set forth in this constellation. The Cup is wide and deep, and fastened on by the stars to the very body of the writhing serpent. The same stars which are in the foot of the Cup form part of the body of Hydra, and are reckoned as belonging to both constellations. This Cup has the significant number of _thirteen_ stars (the number of Apostacy). The two—_Al Ches_ (α), which means _the Cup_, and (β)—determine the bottom of the Cup. 3. CORVUS (The Raven). _The Birds of Prey devouring the Serpent._ Here is the final scene of judgment. We have had _Zeeb_; _the Wolf_; now we have _Oreb_, _the Raven_. _Her‐na_ is its name in the Denderah Zodiac. _Her_, means _the enemy_; and _Na_, means _breaking up_ or _failing_. That is to say, this scene represents _the breaking up_ of the enemy. There are nine stars (the number of _judgment_) in this constellation. The bright star α (in the eye) is called _Al Chibar_ (Arabic), _joining together_, from the Hebrew _Chiba_ (Num. xxiii. 8), which means _accursed_. This star, then, tells of _the curse inflicted_. The star β (in the right wing) is called _Al Goreb_ (Arabic), from Hebrew _Oreb_, _the Raven_. A third star is named _Minchar al Gorab_ (Arabic), and means _the Raven tearing to pieces_. This brings us to the end. There is nothing beyond this. Nothing remains to be told. We know from the Word of God that— “The eye that mocketh at his father, And despiseth to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out.” (Prov. xxx. 17.) We remember how David said to the Giant Goliah—a type of this enemy of God’s people—“I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth” (1 Sam. xvii. 46). When the great day of this judgment comes, an angel standing in the sun will cry “to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come, and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great” (Rev. xix. 17, 18).
