For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them,
and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters:
and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 7:17
Fomalhaut is Alpha
Piscis Austrinus (the brightest star in the Southern Fish). The name
Fomalhaut derives from the Arabic فم الحوت fam al-ḥūt, meaning “Mouth of the
Fish.”
The
Great Fish is portrayed as swallowing the water being poured out by Aquarius,
the water-bearer constellation. It was called Hastorang by
the Persians, one of the four "royal stars."
Because it contains the
first magnitude star Fomalhaut, Piscis
Austrinus is more noticeable in the night sky than the zodiacal
constellation Pisces (two fish). It has also been referred to as the Solitary
One, for there are no other bright stars located in its proximity.
But whosoever
drinketh of the water
that I shall give
him shall never thirst;
but the water that I
shall give him
shall be in him a well of water springing up
into everlasting life.
John 4:14
~~~
But
what does it say?
“The
word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart,”
that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
that if
you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,”
and
believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.…
Romans 10:8-9
Beautifully
expressed in this blog on Fomalhaut:
This is the 4th star in our series: Stars in Heaven / 4 Royal Stars

דברים The four "Royal Stars" with their modern and ancient Persian
names were:
Antares (Satevis) - autumnal equinox
(Watcher of the West)
Fomalhaut (Haftorang/Hastorang) - winter
solstice (Watcher of the North)
By 700 BCE the Nineveh
and Assyrians had essentially mapped the ecliptic cycle because of the four
stars and were in result able to map the constellations, distinguishing them
from the planets and the fixed stars.
Nineveh, the
oldest and most-populous city of the ancient Assyrian empire, situated on the
east bank of the Tigris River and encircled by the modern city of Mosul, Iraq.
The
big fish called Piscis Australis, which is a decan of Aquarius, can
simultaneously be viewed as a symbol for Noah and his family inside the Ark,
Jonah within the belly of the big fish.

But he answered and said unto them, An evil and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to
it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

Food For Prophetic
Thought #9 - The Sign of Jonah!
Yeshua, in the
Gospels, spoke of a great sign on three separate occasions.
Do the Scriptures
& today's headlines give evidence for a third fulfillment in our day?
Time
will tell!
Now the LORD had
prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.
And Jonah was in the
belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 1:17
Jonah proclaimed God’s word to Nineveh – Yonah means Dove
In the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink.
“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said,
‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of
living water.’”
John 7:37-38

An investment in Iraq’s religious diversity
would not only take advantage of the
rich history of Islam and Christianity in the country, but also the Jewish
heritage. Iraq was the spiritual center of the Jews for nearly a
thousand years as well as the home of
many of the tombs of Old Testament prophets in different parts of the country,
like that of Prophet Ezekiel in Babylon,
the tomb of Ezra the Scribe (Ha
Sopher) in Maysan governorate, the tomb
of Daniel in Kirkuk and many other shrines, which form a great opportunity
to rebuild the links between new generations of Jews and Muslims and to be
liberated from decades of hatred and fears of conflict.
And when these
things begin to come to pass,
then look up, and
lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh.

Luke 21:28
Fascinating to study this constellation!
The shape reminded me of the house - Constellation Cepheus.
Fomalhaut/Earthwork
B, in Mounds State Park near
Anderson, Indiana, lines up with the rising
of the star Fomalhaut in the fall months, according to the
Indiana Department of Natural Resources. In 1980, astronomer Jack Robinson
proposed that the rising azimuth of Fomalhaut was marked by cairn placements at
both the Bighorn and Moose Mountain Medicine Wheels in Wyoming,
USA and Saskatchewan, Canada, respectively.

• Whenever Fomalhaut is
"southing" (crossing the meridian due south, which it does around 6
or 7 p.m. this week), the first stars of Orion are just about to rise above the
east horizon. And the
Pointers of the Big Dipper stand upright low due north, straight under Polaris.

Our local newspaper highlights today in the sky: "Sculptor, sculptor's workshop, passes across our SW sky in December"
Near Fomalhaut!
In Chinese astronomy, five stars in this area were seen as forming a hook shape that represented Fuzhi, a sickle used for harvesting crops.
Tradition connects Fomalhaut with the angel Gabriel:
Γαβριήλ, ὁ (גַּבְרִיאֵל, from גֶּבֶר, strong man, hero, and אֵל, God), indeclinable,
Gabriel, one of the angel-princes or chiefs of the angels
Fomalhaut (Haftorang/
Luke 1
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
18 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
20 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai,
which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Ulai was the Hebrew name for a river near the city of Susa.
It was known as Eulaus to the Greeks. It is mentioned twice in the Bible: Daniel 8:2
Ulai - the Eulaus of the Greeks; a river of Susiana. It was probably the eastern branch of the Choasper (Kerkhan), which divided into two branches some 20 miles above the city of Susa. Hence ( Daniel 8:2 Daniel 8:16 ) speaks of standing "between the banks of Ulai", i.e., between the two streams of the divided river.
UPDATE - NEWS REPORTS OF FOMALHAUT & NINEVAH
Fomalhaut appears
solitary in the evening sky at this time of year. In 2019, however, Fomalhaut has company. The bright planets Jupiter
and Saturn are up in the evening, too, pointing the way to Fomalhaut on the
sky’s dome.

Fomalhaut in fictional
literature/entertainment:
The New Scientist magazine termed it the "Great Eye of Sauron", due to its shape and debris ring, when viewed
from a distance, bearing similarity to the aforementioned "Eye" in
the Peter Jackson Lord of
the Rings films.
In Walter Tevis' novel Steps of the Sun, Fomalhaut is visited by the
protagonist, and two potentially inhabitable planets are found (and
described).
Parts of Philip K Dick's novel Lies, Inc (originally titled The
Unteleported Man) are set on the fictional
planet Fomalhaut IX. Ursula K. Le Guin's first novel Rocannon's World is
also set on a fictional planet in the Fomalhaut system.
