Is Mary Really The Queen Of Heaven? by mexxmoney: 1:25pm On Oct 22, 2017
The phrase “the queen of heaven” appears in the Bible twice, both times in the book of Jeremiah. The first incident is in connection with the things the Israelites were doing that provoked the Lord to anger. Entire families were involved in idolatry. The children gathered wood, and the men used it to build altars to worship false gods. The women were engaged in kneading dough and baking cakes of bread for the “Queen of Heaven” (Jeremiah 7:18). This title referred to Ishtar, an Assyrian and Babylonian goddess also called Ashtoreth and Astarte by various other groups. She was thought to be the wife of the false god Baal, also known as Molech. The motivation of women to worship Ashtoreth stemmed from her reputation as a fertility goddess, and, as the bearing of children was greatly desired among women of that era, worship of this “queen of heaven” was rampant among pagan civilizations. Sadly, it became popular among the Israelites as well.

The second reference to the queen of heaven is found in Jeremiah 44:17-25, where Jeremiah is giving the people the word of the Lord which God has spoken to him. He reminds the people that their disobedience and idolatry has caused the Lord to be very angry with them and to punish them with calamity. Jeremiah warns them that greater punishments await them if they do not repent. They reply that they have no intentions of giving up their worship of idols, promising to continue pouring out drink offerings to the queen of heaven, Ashtoreth, and even going so far as to credit her with the peace and prosperity they once enjoyed because of God’s grace and mercy.

Clearly, the idea of the “queen of heaven” is idolatrous and unbiblical.There is no queen of heaven. There has never been a queen of heaven. There is most certainly a King of Heaven, the Lord of hosts. He alone rules in heaven. He does not share His rule or His throne or His authority with anyone. The idea that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the queen of heaven has no scriptural basis whatsoever. Instead, the idea of Mary as the queen of heaven stems from proclamations of priests and popes of the Roman Catholic Church. While Mary was certainly a godly young woman greatly blessed in that she was chosen to bear the Savior of the world, she was not in any way divine, nor was she sinless, nor is she to be worshipped, revered, venerated, or prayed to. All followers of the Lord God refuse worship. Peter and the apostles refused to be worshipped (Acts 10:25–26; 14:13–14). The holy angels refuse to be worshipped (Revelation 19:10; 22:9). The response is always the same: “Worship God!” To offer worship, reverence, or veneration to anyone but God is nothing short of idolatry. Mary’s own words in her “Magnificat” (Luke 1:46–55) reveal that she never thought of herself as “immaculate” or deserving of veneration; on the contrary, she was relying on the grace of God for salvation: “And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” Only sinners need a savior, and Mary recognized that need in herself.

Furthermore, Jesus Himself issued a mild rebuke to a woman who cried out to Him, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you" (Luke 11:27), replying to her, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it." By doing so, He curtailed any tendency to elevate Mary as an object of worship. He could certainly have said, “Yes, blessed be the Queen of Heaven!” But He did not. He was affirming the same truth that the Bible affirms—there is no queen of heaven, and the only biblical references to the “queen of heaven” refer to the goddess of an idolatrous, false religion.

Long before the Roman Catholics fingered lots of ancient books there were "Queens of Heaven" Inanna, Anat, Isis, Astarte, Hera, Asherah were all in turns called "Queen of heaven" just as Jesus is called the "Messiah", a post previously occupied by previous messiahs like Horus and co.

But what really brought about this title called Queen of Heaven and what does it really represent ? It's all Astrology. Astrology was the centre of the ancient world. They were obsessed with it and all religion, I mean all human religion are built around it. Talk of the Muslims fasting around the moon and Sun, Christians holding Christmas and Easter is built around the movement of the moon and Sun, day and Night etc.

But really, what really is the Queen of heaven and her Sun...... The Moon. Isis, Astarte, Inanna all had one thing in common.....a crown of moon upon their heads, which is a symbol of what they represent.

Today the Christian religion and Islam are represented around the Sun God and Moon Goddess. You can see the moon on every mosque and flags of those who built their religion around the moon Goddess and the Christisns focus on the Sun,whom they call the Sun of God. Both preserving the ancient pagan worship of the stars. Astrology is Morden religion.

The Song of Mary
46 And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.

The only One we should exalt, and who is the King, is the LORD God Almighty.

No big deal whether people call Jesus King of kings, it's just a preservation of Astrology where the Sun is the Savior of the world. It doesn't matter what name people give it.

Mary is also inanna, Astarte, Venus,Aphrodite, shiva...etc, it is all nomenclature... And her incarnations..

So, that makes the Jesus story not a historical one, but an astrological one...
