Star names in the constellations

Amazing that the original names of stars in the constellations have names that reflect the meaning of the constellations from millennia back.  Here are just a few examples.

Ursa Major or the Big Dipper

This depicts the story of Jesus as Shepherd of His flock

Depicting the battle between God and Satan, the Serpent


Explaining the curse brought onto Satan in the garden

Libra

Depicting the great price Christ paid on the Cross and how we are covered by His Blood, "the price that covers"

Leo

Jesus comes as the powerful Lion, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, to put an end to sin forever.
There are many more examples of these. These photos are from a lecture by Ron Malloch at campmeeting, 2013.
