The Constellation Draco: Early Christians
saw Draco as the serpent which had tempted
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Draco
was the serpent-like dragon that twined round
the tree in the Garden and guarded the apples.

The Constellation of Draco is depicted as a dragon snake. We will see how this constellation is used as a sign for
Satan being thrown down to the earth. This event occurs prior to the first Trumpet Judgment, in which Satan has
no longer access to Heaven to accuse the brethren. We will use the Draco Constellation to show this alignment
between His Word which matches the heavenly sign of His creation. Before the Word was given to man, God
created the constellation in the heavens as a picture story of His plan. The beginning of this Hebrew heavenly
star cycle occurs with the Constellation of Virgo and ends with the Constellation of Leo. Virgo represents Christ
born of a virgin. Christ is the Lamb of God, who is our Savior and Shepherd. The “True Shepherd or Heavenly
Shepherd” is symbolized by the Constellation of Orion. In the center of the heavens is Draco, the dragon, who is
ready to deceive the entire world. Leo, the Lion’s paws are on the head of the serpent Hydra ready to strike the
serpent’s head (see the Star Constellation Map at the back of this book). This is mentioned in Genesis 3:15 where the
Lord said to the serpent “He (Christ) shall bruise you (serpent) on the head (fatally).” Satan will undoubtedly be
conquered by Christ. Satan is symbolized by three constellations – Draco, the dragon, Serpens, the serpent, and
Hydra, the water beast, who has seven heads. All three symbols are used in scripture - Leviathan the twisted serpent of
the sea in Isaiah 27:1, the Serpent of Old in the Garden of Eden and the Dragon in Revelation. This all represents the “Grand
Design” for this world by God from the beginning of creation.

Those who have understanding will see that there is alignment between the “Heavenly Signs” given by God and
His Word. This earth was ultimately created for Christ to reign in righteousness with His selected bride. “All
things came into being through Him…” from John 1:3. The position of the sun, moon and stars in space are uniquely
given in time. We will use them to fix chronological events in time as prophetic scripture has revealed them. It is
God’s creation of the heavens with it signs that declares the ultimate truth of the End Times. Christ declared in
Luke 21:25 “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars and on the earth dismay among nations in perplexity at the roaring of
the sea and the waves.” This roaring of the waves is caused by the gravitational forces on the seas creating tides. This
is due to the multiple planetary eclipses with the sun and the moon during the End Times. The planetary
eclipses creating greater gravitational energy than the moon by itself. God has declared and created these signs in
the heavens to occur in the Last Days as scripture tells us. Those who have wondered about creation and if the
Bible is truly from God will definitely get a clear answer to both questions by reading this book. Those who have
insight will clearly see the “Heavenly Signs” as a “Grand Design” of this visible universe and the alignment of God’s
Word.
