Primary Constellation #9

Re'eym (Taurus)...

For the month of September, I will showcase the ninth star family. The primary constellation of the ninth star-family is Re'eym, which is now called Taurus.

Re’eym (Taurus) is one of the most prominent and visible of all the constellations in the Northern sky. It is at its most visible in January. The red giant star Aldebaran (65 light-years from us) is the brightest star in the constellation. In the northwest part of this constellation is the supernova remnant called Messier 1, commonly referred to as the Crab Nebula, which is located above the tip of the bull’s lower horn.

Re’eym is the original Hebrew name of the constellation now called Taurus. Of all the star-families in the heavens, Re’eym and its decans may well be the most exciting! This is because the star-family of Re’eym foretells the Second Coming of Christ.

As any bull-fighter or rodeo-rider well knows, when a 2000 pound (907 kilogram) bull is in full charge; its massive, hurtling body is like an unstoppable freight train, bringing pain and punishment to anyone unfortunate enough to be on the pointy end of its horns.

In the King James Bible, Re’eym appears as “unicorn”. But the Re’eym was not a dainty, horse-like animal with a single horn between its eyes. That’s mythology. The Re’eym, an animal that is now extinct, looked like a bull, but was much larger, being nearly the size of an elephant! See the inset image below:

The image above shows the approximate scale of a Biblical Re’eym, which is now extinct, compared with a modern-times elephant and a 6 foot tall man. Scientifically called Bos primigenius, ancient people were very familiar with the mighty re'eym. In fact, it is immortalized in a stone cave-rendering in the Grotta del Romito cave located in the Pollino National Park in Italy. Archaeologists date the cave carving of the re'eym to about 9000 years ago...  which merely means that it may pre-date the Flood.

The fossil remains which have been found of this beast show that it was 9 feet tall (3m)—making the Re'eym a powerful symbol of God’s Judgment! In Bible times, the Re’eym symbolized both the tremendous Power and the unstoppable Judgment of Almighty God. In this constellation, God’s Judgment is foretold, which will be unleashed upon the unrepentant wicked ones, at the End of the World. 

Further highlighting the warning of God’s ultimate Justice and Judgment which is coming upon those who choose spiritual darkness is the Pleiades—7 stars on the neck of the great bull which foreshadow the Seven Last Plagues (Isaiah 13:11-15).

The name and message of this ancient constellation is found in the Bible, as shown in the following Scripture:

Numbers 23:22 “God brought them out of Egypt; He hath as it were the strength of an unicorn (Re’eym).” 

Numbers 24:8 “God… hath as it were the strength of an unicorn (Re’eym). He shall eat up the nations His enemies, and shall break their bones…”
