Scripture: Jeremiah 7 v 16 - 19: "Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?"
Jeremiah 44 v 25-29: "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
26 Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.
27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
29 And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:"
When I attended a Catholic Convent school all my school days, I was one of the few Protestant children getting a good private school education. I was also designated a Non-Catholic which was derogatory. We were made to do everything religious the other girls did whether we liked it or not.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, was worshipped daily many times in prayer. The school bells would ring on the hour and we would stop working and stand to say Hail Mary prayers. In the middle of August would be a school holiday to celebrate the Assumption of Mary into Heaven and there would be a parade around the school grounds behind a statue of Mary covered with flowers honouring her above all.
The Mary of the Roman Catholic Church bears no resemblance to Mary the Mother of Jesus. She is not known as the Queen of Heaven, nor was she assumed into Heaven to intercede for sinners with her angry Son.
The Catholic Mary is none other than the Babylonian queen turned goddess, Semiramis, who gave birth to Nimrod on 25th December. She upgraded him to the god Baal, then married him so she could upgrade to goddess.
Semiramis has many names, Diana of the Ephesians, depicted in ancient drawings with a tower on her head. The Tower of Babel. She was also known as Ashtaroth, Isis, Ching Moo in China, and the queen of heaven. And now Mary.
1 Samuel 7 v 3 - 4: "And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only."
Baalim is Baal and Ashraroth his mother/wife, who were Nimrod and Semiramis in a deeply occult religion in Babylon. A religion in which there were vestal virgins, in Catholicism they would be nuns; and a celibate priesthood headed by the Pontiff or Pope of Babylon.
The Queen of Heaven was the idolatry of the Moon, so Mary is often depicted in religious pictures with the Sun and Moon under her feet. She has been named Co-Redeemer with Jesus Christ and with the ability to forgive sin.
When Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was partly destroyed by fire, I wondered if the real Mary in Heaven cheered. She is not known as Queen of Heaven, nor ever wants to be. She bore Jesus, the Son of God, so He could manifest in human flesh and save the world from the consequences of sin through His death and resurrection. She received salvation like we all do, and was in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost, speaking in tongues with the appearance of fire upon her head. She was not born sinless, only Jesus could be the sinless Lamb of God.
The Church of Rome became Catholic when it fused Christianity with other religions to make it acceptable to pagan worshippers. Particularly Babylonian worshippers. The Holy Roman Empire started out as the Babylonian empire under Nimrod. The Romans conquered all the lands that were formerly conquered by Nimrod or Baal.
In a marvellous old book by A. Hislop, The Two Babylons, printed in 1857, the whole evil conjunction of Catholicism with Babylonianism is laid bare in every tiny detail. It's available on Kindle and is fascinating reading. The final end of Nimrod was at the hands of Shem, son of Noah, in Egypt, where Nimrod was known as Hercules. After Shem killed him, he became known as Hercules too.
Many ancient drawings of the Queen of Heaven, Semiramis, show her with baby Nimrod. In other parts of the world like Egypt the names given are Isis and Osiris, Mary and baby Jesus.
The reason why I am sharing this history today is so that truth may be established. Christmas is a great time for families and friends to be together but if its to honour an imposter instead of our Saviour, who would not have been born in dead of winter when no shepherd would be tending sheep outside at night, then we just need to know what we are really doing.
Also Easter is a Roman festival honouring Oestrus, a fertility goddess depicted in rabbits and eggs, which distracts from the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. The first commandment of God to Moses is, You shall have no other gods before Me. How do we honour God Almighty if we cannot discern a false goddess trying to hijack the most powerful moment this planet has ever witnessed. It truly rattled the whole of Rome, who had Him crucified to please the Pharisees. Darkness, earthquake, four inch thick interwoven gold curtain covering the Holy of Holies split in two from top to bottom.
His death gave us life eternal with God in Heaven. His resurrection made this real to us as nothing else could. As Paul said to the Corinthians, if Jesus was not risen from death then we are eternally lost and our faith is worthless. His death made God's Will and Testament valid and those who read the Testament are partakers of all it says.
Health, salvation, abundance, joy, peace, love, self-control, deliverance, life, goodness, and every other wonderful promise. But do not compromise His love with other gods and goddesses thrown in to draw us back to the world. Use the gift of discerning of spirits to eliminate those things that grieve Him and rather honour Him by sacrificing those pleasures and obey His Word.
I had to do a lot of repenting from all things Catholic even though I was an ignorant child. By His grace and mercy He allowed me to see it and reject the false and embrace the truth. Now I can tell it and share it so you all can look at your own experiences and weed out those things that conflict with the reality of Jesus Christ.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, touch the hearts, minds, memories and hidden errors of each one of us so that no traditions, lifestyles, religious practices or any other thing can distract us from our worship of You and Jesus. We are New Creations and don't want to be drawn into worldly error. In Jesus' name. Amen.
