    As seen in Centaurus Constellation Names - subject: Cheiron, Chiron, Chiun, Kiyuwn, Remphan

• Greek Cheiron, who clutches an animal, a boar of lion, now Lupus, Greek Theiron, "Wild Animal" or "Beast", Romans Bestia, Hostia, Victima.
  • Rolleston "Greek Chiron, the pierced, who pierces (Isa. 9:6)."
  • In "Gospel of the Stars," by Joseph Seiss page 30 "Cheiron, the despised, Hebrew root, the pierced, or who pierces."
  • Chiun (ki'un), possibly Saturn as god, but the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.
    • Hebrew Kiyuwn, kee-yoon', from Heb. kuwn, koon, a primary root to be erect, to set up, properly a statue, i.e. idol, but used (by euphemism) for some heathen deity (perhaps corresponding to Priapus - a son of Dionysus and Aphrodite and god of procreation, phallus or Baal-peor - a Moabitish deity), Chiun.
    • Thus as seen in Amos 5:26 where:
      • KJV has "tabernacle of your Molech and Chiun your images, the star of your god."
      • NIV has "the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god".
      • RSV translates: "Sakkuth your king, and Kaiwan your star-god, your images."
    • Also see Remphan.
      • Acts 7:43 "the star of your god Remphan, figures..."
        • Greek Rhemphan, hrem-fan', by incorrect transliteration for a word of Hebrew origin [Kiyuwn, kee-yoon'], Remphan (i.e. Kijun), an Egyptian idol.
    • Under Centaurus star names k Centauri (no name).
      • One source calls this Ke Kwan, meaning "calvary officer."
      • It seems to be a reference to Hebrew Kiyyan, or the Greek Chiron.

• The Despised One
  • Others say the Centaur is an unusual man having two natures: part man and part horse.
  • The Hebrew name for this is Bezeh, which means "the despised one."
    • Despised.
      • Hebrew bazah, baw-zaw', a primary root to disesteem, despise, disdain, contemn(-ptible).
      • Rolleston claims this as "Hebrew Beze, the despised."
      • Rolleston also claims that "Arabic Al Beze, the despised (Isa. 53:3)."
    • Isaiah 53:3 "He is despised and rejected ["forsaken of men"    "He who ceases from men," i.e., is no longer regarded as a man] of men; a man of sorrows [i.e. whose distinguished characteristic was sorrows], and aquainted with grief [Jesus never was sick]; and we hid as it were our faces [as one who causes men to hide their faces from Him] from him; he was despised, and we [the prophet identifying with the Jews] esteemed him not [negative contempt]."
  • In "Gospel of the Stars," by Joseph Seiss page 30 "Cheiron, the despised, Hebrew root, the pierced, or who pierces."
    • Rolleston proposes "Greek Chiron, the pierced, who pierces (Isa. 9:6)."
      • Isaiah 9:6, in the KJV represents the birth of the messianic king.
  • Some claim that the two natures are the double-edge sword of Revelation.
  • Although the original meaning of this sign became corrupted, as it went out and combined with the mythology and the paganism, even still the original meaning shines through.
