| | QUEEN OF HEAVEN in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online) |
 | | In that worship the queen of heaven had a conspicuous place; and if, as seems probable from the cakes which were offered, she is to be identified with the Assyrian Ishtar and the Canaanite Astarte, the worship itself was of a grossly immoral and debasing character. | | | From the prophets we gather that before the exile the worship of the host of heaven had become established among all classes and in all the towns of Israel (Jer ubi supra; Ezek 8:16). | | | But that the people of Judah in the days before the exile had given themselves over to the worst and vilest forms of heathen worship and incurred the grievous displeasure of Yahweh is made clear by the denunciation of the worship of the queen of heaven by Jeremiah. |

| | Mariology - Queen of Heaven: Pagan Divinity or Royal Mother of the Messiah? - Mark Brumley - Catholic Faith - ... |
| | The claim is that this idolatrous, pagan worship of the Queen of Heaven has been carried over by the Catholic Church into its “worship” of Mary as the Queen of Heaven. | | | If all faithful Christians are to reign with Christ as “kings” and “queens,” it makes no sense to object to calling Mary “Queen,” for she, too, is a faithful follower of Jesus– the preeminently faithful follower of Jesus, in fact. | | | The term “Trinity” isn’t in the Bible, but the doctrine of the Trinity is. Similarly, nowhere in the Bible is Mary directly called “Queen of Heaven,” though the doctrine of her Queenship is there. |

| | The only occurrences of the phrase "Queen of Heaven" in the Bible are in reference to a false pagan goddess (see Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-25). | | | If Mary were to speak to us today from heaven, she would say the same as the angels do when people try to worship them -- "Worship God!" (Revelation 19:10; 22:9). | | | Mary is to be respected as the earthly mother of Jesus, but she is not worthy of our worship and she cannot hear our prayers. |

| | Queen of Heaven |
| | The term ''Queen of Heaven'' is unknown to most people, and of those who have heard the term, few of them know who or what it refers to. | | | For myself, I make note that every reference in the Bible concerning the Queen of Heaven or Tammuz, is ALWAYS shown to be idolatry and an abomination before God. | | | As the Sun was worshipped, not only under the name of Baal Shamayim, "Lord of Heaven", but also by that of Molech, or King; it is likely also that the Moon was adored as Melecheth Hashshamayim, "The Queen of Heaven." So the Orphic hymn addressed to the Moon begins [Klythi thea BASILEIA], Hear goddess Queen. |
