So, Really, Who is the Queen of Heaven

According to Smith's Bible Dictionary,
Queen of Heaven is the moon, worshipped as Ashtaroth or Astarte, to whom the Hebrew women offered cakes in the streets of Jerusalem.


The only place in the Bible that the "queen of heaven" is mentioned is in chapters 7 and 44 of the Book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah's job as a prophet was to call Israel to task for their continuing worship of other "gods/goddesses" and to tell them of the destruction that God was bringing upon the nation. Israel as a nation who refused to listen. Eventually, the promised destruction came and into captivity they went at the hands of the Babylonians. So, if the "queen of heaven" is a pagan goddess then it stands to reason that the apparition that appears as the "queen of heaven" cannot possibly be Mary, the mother of Jesus. Nowhere in the New Testament is Mary ever referred to as the "queen of heaven." It is never recorded in the Bible that incense was burned or prayers offered to Mary, the mother of Jesus, nor that she was exalted to a superior position in the hierarchy of God. We are told in
Luke 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that are highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Elisabeth the mother of John the Baptist in Luke 1:42 repeats the same blessing as the angel to Mary. Nowhere do we find anyone in Mary's sphere worshipping her. Jesus, himself, does not elevate his mother, Mary, to any special place. We have Mary's geneaology and the angel's announcement that she had been chosen by God to bring forth Messiah found in Matthew. Joseph and Mary look for Jesus in Jerusalem in Chapter 2 of Luke. Again at the wedding in Cana Mary interacts with Jesus in John Chapter 2. Matthew Chapter 12 and Mark Chapter 3 record the episode of Jesus' brothers and Mary calling him out and in both instances Jesus continues preaching. We are given no record of him responding to his mother and brothers requst to come out to them. We see Mary at the cross of Jesus where Jesus gives her care over to His disciple in Chapter 19 of John. Finally, we see Mary in the upper room in Acts Chapter 1, obeying Jesus' final command to his disciples and followers to wait to be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Jesus response to his mother as recorded in the gospels is more of a reproof to her for not understanding his purpose. Mary disappears from New Testament accounts after the four gospels and the first chapter of Acts. The disciples of Jesus give her no mention or special treatment. Jesus does not refer to His mother when He dictates the Book of Revelation to John. The text is clear that she was highly favoured by God, that she was blessed among women but that is the whole of all that Mary was. She is dead and her decayed remains wait in a grave for resurrection.
I Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
We are forbidden by scripture to talk to the dead, the practice of necromancy, in Deuteronomy 18:11. If you have been in the habit of praying, burning incense, or any activity to Mary, the Queen of Heaven, or any dead Saint or person you need to stop immediately. This is not Mary, the mother of Jesus. This is a satanic manifestation to blind you to the truth and lead you away from your only hope for salvation Jesus Christ. If you follow my blog you know from previous blogs that the world is being set up through media, channelers, apparitions, etc. for the great delusion spoken of in II Thessalonians 2:11. The Middle East and the whole world is heating up over the issue of Israel. We are approaching the seventieth week of Daniel Chapter 9 which is also known as the "time of Jacobs trouble," at lightning speed. God is about to deal with the whole House of Israel and an unrepentant world. Time is running out to make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior
