Cup
Cup of God's JudgmentThe constellation of the Cup depicts a filled cup of God's judgment. It is located above Hydra — the image of the ancient serpent — and reminds us that God's long-suffering has a limit. When the measure of iniquity is filled, righteous judgment comes.

Crow
Final JudgmentThe constellation of the Crow depicts the execution of God's sentence upon the ancient serpent. The Crow is on the back of Hydra and tears at it next to the Cup of God's wrath. Together, the Lion, Hydra, Cup, and Crow form a picture of God's ultimate victory over evil.

Eridanus
Fiery river of God's judgmentThe constellation Eridanus depicts the river of God's judgment directed against the rebellious spiritual powers and the kingdom of death. The image itself is very ancient: in Greco-Roman astronomy it is simply the River, winding in a long line across the southern sky. Its beginning lies directly near the foot of Orion-Kesil — the image of the bound Watchers awaiting judgment. Ptolemy literally describes the first star of the River as being after the star in Orion's foot, 'at the beginning of the river'. Nearby, above Eridanus, lies Cetus — the sea monster representing the power of death and forces hostile to God. Thus in the biblical picture, the celestial River becomes an image of the fiery stream of God's judgment, like the one Daniel saw issuing from God's throne.

Arrow
God's arrow of judgmentThe Arrow is God's weapon directed against fallen angels. It lies directly next to Aquila — the image of fallen spirits, the 'falling eagle', to which also belongs the ancient name of Vega, an-nasr al-wāqi‘ — 'the falling eagle'. Therefore the meaning of the Arrow is extremely clear: God will not leave the rebellious spirits unjudged — His weapon is already aimed against them, and their defeat is inevitable.
