Lamb, will return again as a mighty conqueror having all power and all authority. His enemies will
not be able to stand before the spectacle of His glorious appearing.

One of the decans of Leo is Hydra. Appropriately, this incarnation of the serpent of old is seen fleeing.
Additionally there is Crater (The Cup) signifying the cup of the Lord’s indignation.

Psalms 75:8
For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup [of His wrath], and the wine foams and is red, well mixed;
and He pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink its dregs.
[Amplified Bible]

The final decan of Leo, and the last constellation of the heavenly testimony, is Corvus (The Raven)
grasping the body of the fleeing serpent with its claws and tearing the flesh of the serpent with its
beak. The raven, too, is a Biblical symbol of the vengeance of the Lord.

Proverbs 30:17
The eye that mocks a father, and scorns a mother, the ravens of the valley will pick it out, and the
young eagles will eat it.

Satan is a rebel and a mocker. He deserves nothing better than the judgment due a mocker. The
adversary’s power will be broken. As Martin Luther wrote in his famous hymn A Mighty Fortress is
Our God:

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

Revelation 20:10
And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and
the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night to the age of the ages.

We see that the message of the heavens speaks the same glorious testimony as that of the Bible. They
have the same Author. The Creator who formed the stars and leads them forth has established a divine
plan of the ages. It has been moving inexorably forward, and despite all the lies and protestations of
Satan and those in league with him, the final chapter has already been written. The story cannot be
changed. Yahweh has spoken and His word is final, irresistible, and certain.
