Genesis 3:15 and Roman 16:20. Nevertheless, this will occur later, when Christ returns. However, grace will be
with the believer during this time of Tribulation and trials as it has been in the past.

Romans 16:20 “The God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be
127
with you.”

Star Named Zubenelgenubi:

The first sign of radiant light coming
down from Heaven from a star named
Zubenelgenubi.

A double star: the Arabic names of its
two brightest stars, Zubeneschamali
(Zoo-BEN-ess-shah-MAH-lee), the
Northern Claw, and Zubenelgenubi
(Zoo-BEN-el-jeh-NEW-bee), the
Southern Claw.

The Claws of the Scorpion were also
known by Babylonian Empire as part
of the Constellation of Scorpius.

Constellation of Scorpius:

In Greek Mythology the myths associated with Scorpio
almost invariably also contain a reference to Orion.
According to one of these myths it is written that Orion
boasted to goddess Artemis and her mother, Leto, that
he would kill every animal on the earth. Although
Artemis was known to be a hunter herself she offered
protection to all creatures. Artemis and her mother
Leto sent a scorpion to deal with Orion. The pair
battled and the scorpion killed Orion. However, the
contest was apparently a lively one that caught the
attention of the king of the gods Zeus, who later raised
the scorpion to heaven. The meaning Orion is
“Heavenly Shepherd” or "True Shepherd.” Is this a
statement about the Christ and His children, which is
His Bride in Christ being killed? For Christ had died
on the Cross and was resurrected from the grave.

Scorpius depicted as a Scorpion (J. Aspin, 1825)

The star Zubenelgenubi is part of the lower right claw of the Scorpion. We saw a similar sign in the heavens with
the Serpens Constellations at the very beginning of the Tribulation period. The claw could represent the
snatching up or the killing of the martyred Christians during the Tribulation. The believer is destined for Heaven
