1
Is the term Queen of Heaven a pagan demon?
2
Setting the record straight, some people claim that when Catholics call Mary the Queen of Heaven,
3
we're actually borrowing a pagan title for a demon mentioned in the Old Testament.
4
This reference is found in Jeremiah 718 and also in 4417.
5
That sounds serious, so let's slow down,
6
open the scripture, and tell the truth.
7
If you're new here, I'm Father Dan Rehill,
8
Catholic priest and exorcist in the Diocese of Nashville.
9
And this question deserves a clear,
10
biblical, and historical honest answer.
11
Now in the book of Jeremiah,
12
the Queen of Heaven is not Mary,
13
as she's not even born yet.
14
Scholars agree it refers to a pagan goddess worshipped in the near ancient East.
15
Common identifications include Ishtar, also called Inanna,
16
a Mesopotamian goddess of fertility and war.
17
Others include Ashtaroth, a Canaanite fertility goddess mentioned in 1 Kings 11.
18
Jeremiah condemns this worship because it involved family rituals,
19
incense, drink offerings, and cakes shaped like stars or goddesses.
20
This was a clear violation of the first commandment,
21
Israel mixing worship of the true God with pagan religion of idols.
22
So let's be clear, God condemns pagan goddess worship.
23
Catholics agree completely.
24
But there's where the accusation collapses.
25
Jesus Christ is not just a spiritual leader,
26
he is king and lord.
27
Luke 1 says he inherits the throne of David and Revelation calls him king of kings.
28
In the Davidic kingdom, the queen was not the king's wife,
29
it was the king's mother, called the Gebirah.
30
We see this clearly in 1 Kings 2.19 where Solomon places his mother,
31
Bathsheba, on a throne at his right hand.
32
Jesus is the eternal son of David.
33
Mary is his mother.
34
That makes her the queen mother,
35
not a goddess, not a rival,
36
but a royal figure by God's design.
37
And Revelation 12 gives us a heavenly image of a woman clothed with the sun,
38
crowned with the moon at her feet,
39
and bringing forth the Messiah.
40
Early Christians immediately recognized this imagery as Marian.
41
Mary is also unique in all of human history.
42
She is the only person whose DNA was used by God to form the body of Jesus Christ.
43
Modern medicine even confirms something remarkable,
44
called fetomaternal microchimerism, a phenomenon where cells pass permanently between the mother and child.
45
This means cells from Jesus' body,
46
his blood, his flesh remained in Mary for the rest of her life.
47
Her yes didn't just bring Christ into the world,
48
it brought him into her very being.
49
We do not worship Mary,
50
worship belongs to God alone.
51
And as early as the 3rd century,
52
Christians prayed, Subtum Presidium, under your protection we seek refuge,
53
Holy Mother of God.
54
That's not paganism, that's Christianity.
55
If you exclude the Blessed Mother from your devotion and your life,
56
you're not being more biblical,
57
you're ignoring scripture, the early church,
58
and the profound spiritual reality.
59
Mary always leads to Jesus.
60
Her yes teaches us how to give ours.
61
Give the Blessed Mother the true devotion she deserves and be battle ready.
62
Thank you.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
