Corona, “The Crown Bestowed” is one of the constellations of the 1st of 3 Books in Heaven that tell the story of Jesus from Virgin (Virgo) to the last of the 3rd Book, Leo ‘The Lion’, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah aroused for the rending of the enemy. God is the Creator of the Stars, He named each star and numbered each star. Jesus may have come to be the Sacrificial Lamb, but He will come back SOON Roaring as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah!
Book One consists of 4 main constellations, with each having 3 smaller constellations.

- CORONA – ‘The Crown’ The Crown Bestowed
- SCORPIO – ‘The Scorpion’ – The serpent seeking to wound, but itself trodden under foot
- Ophiuchus – ‘The Serpent Holder’ The struggle with the enemy
- Serpens – ‘The Serpent’ The serpent struggling with many
- Hercules – ‘The Mighty One’ The mighty Vanquisher seeming to sink in conflict
- SAGITTARIUS – ‘The Archer’ Conquering and to Conquer
- Lyra – ‘The Harp’ Praise prepared for the Conqueror
- Ara – ‘The Altar’ Consuming fire prepared for His enemies

Phil 2:9-10 reads, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;” The devil is a counterfeit, a liar, a deceiver and has tried to counterfeit the heavens for his purpose. But Jesus is on the Throne in the Third Heaven and satan knows his time is running out. Even with this current pandemic, he has tried to steal the attention of ‘the Crown’ to cause fear.
So, let’s hear God’s plan for this constellation. One of my favorite references is “The Witness of the Stars” by E.W. Bullinger. He states that each chapter of each book ends with the glory and the glory of the SCALES, is that Jesus won the Crown! Hebrew 2:7 declares, “You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him (Jesus) with glory and honor, and set him over the works of Your hands.” The shameful Cross (Crux) is followed by the glorious Crown!
The Hebrew name is Atarah, ‘a royal crown’, and its stars are known today in the East by the plural, Ataroth! Its Arabic name is Al Iclil, meaning ‘an ornament’ or jewel.
This small constellation is made up of 21 stars. The brightest star has the Arabic name of Al Phecca, ‘the shining‘.
D. James Kennedy wrote in “The Real Meaning of the Zodiac”, pg 33 about this constellation. “Look up in the sky and see the Northern Crown, the Corona Borealis (which, by the way, shines at midnight every night over the city of Jerusalem) and be reminded that there is a crown for those who are faithful to Jesus Christ.”
