The ‘Queen Of Heaven’ Worshiped By The Catholic Church Comes From Pagan Babylon And Is Not The Biblical Mary

If anyone would have asked me who the “Queen of Heaven” was, I could answer them immediately and accurately. The “Queen of Heaven” was the same Virgin Mary that I had been taught to to pray to and to seek salvation from all my life.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Roman Catholic traditions of the “Madonna and Child” began back in pagan Babylon with the stories of Nimrod, Semiramis and the baby Tammuz.

Until the age of 30, I was your typical product of the Roman Catholic system. I had been sprinkled as a baby, received “first holy communion”, confessed my sins to a ‘priest’, and completed the Catholic sacrament of “Confirmation” all by the time I was in 5th grade. If anyone would have asked me who the “Queen of Heaven” was, I could answer them immediately and accurately. The “Queen of Heaven” was the same Virgin Mary that I had been taught to to pray to and to seek salvation from all my life. What I did not know, however, was that God in the Bible says that the “queen of heaven” is a pagan abomination that provokes Him to anger.

“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.” Jeremiah 7:18 (KJV)

In order to attempt to staunch the flow of criticism Catholics receive about idol worship of mere humans like the biblical Mary, we were trained to tell people that “no, we do not worship Mary, we simply venerate her out of respect”. But for those of us on the “inside”, we knew different. We were taught to pray to Mary more than to anyone else, with prayers like this one:

“O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant me ever to be able to call upon thy powerful name, since thy name is the help of the living and the salvation of the dying. Ah, Mary most pure, Mary most sweet, grant that thy name from this day forth may be to me the very breath of life. Dear Lady, delay not to come to my assistance whenever I call upon thee; for in all the temptations that assail me, in all the necessities that befall me, I will never leave off calling upon thee, ever repeating: Mary, Mary. What comfort, what sweetness, what confidence, what tenderness fills my soul at the sound of thy name, at the very thought of thee! I give thanks to our Lord, who for my sake hath given thee a name so sweet, so lovable, so mighty. But I am not content merely to speak thy name; I would utter it for very love of thee; it is my desire that love should ever remind me to name thee, Mother of Perpetual Help.” source

If you think that saying something like that is not worship or prayer, you are highly deceived. That was just one of dozens of Vatican-approved prayers to Mary. Catholic schools and churches love to place statues of the Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus in the classrooms and chapels. Everywhere you go, there the Madonna and Child appear before you like an apparition. But as I got older, I discovered statues like that did not have the beginnings with Mary and Jesus, not even close. The Roman Catholic traditions of the “Madonna and Child” began back in pagan Babylon with the stories of Nimrod, Semiramis and the baby Tammuz.

In his excellent book, Babylon Mystery Religion, author Ralph Woodrow shows us where the Roman Catholic “Mother and Child” worship came from.

Nimrod, the mighty hunter before (against) the Lord, was the first to organize cities into a kingdom under human rule, Genesis 10:8-10.  This much we know from the Bible.  The name Nimrod comes from the word, marad, meaning “he rebelled.”  Legend has it that Nimrod married his own mother, Semiramis.  After Nimrod died, Semi­ramis claimed Nimrod was the sun-god.  She later had a child, Tammuz, whom she claimed was Nimrod reborn, supernaturally conceived, the promised seed, the “savior.”  Semiramis developed a religion of mother and child worship.  Symbols were used to develop a “mystery” religion.  Since Nimrod was believed to be the sun-god (Baal), fire was considered his earthly representation.  In other forms, Nimrod was symbolized by sun images, fish, trees, pillars, and animals.  Tammuz, son of the sun-god, was represented by the golden calf.  And so it was, that mankind followed this religion of worshipping the creation (creature) rather than the Creator, Romans 1:21-26.

Mary is crying before Jesus Christ because Catholics keep Worshiping her:

Rome, the greatest and longest-lived human world-ruling empire, assimilated religions from her many conquered territories.  All these religions had commonalities, for they all came from Babylon.  These practices infiltrated and overcame the professing Christian Church, which later came to be dominated by Rome itself. Many pagan religions had mother and child worship, whether Devaki and Krishna (India), Isis and Horus (Egypt), Venus or Fortuna and Jupiter (Rome), etc.  Each nation gave different names to essentially the same god or goddess.

A mother goddess, or “queen of heaven,” was said to have given miraculous birth to a son.  Ancient Israel sometimes followed this false religion, Judges 2:13, 10:6; I Samuel 7:3-4, 12:10; I Kings 11:5; II Kings 23:13; Jeremiah 44:17-19, with disastrous results.  In Ephesus, Semiramis was worshipped as the great mother Diana, the many-breasted goddess.  This form of mother-child worship was followed throughout all Asia and the world, Acts 19:27.

Pope Francis Entrusts the World to the “Immaculate Heart of Mary”:

Mary worship had no place in the early Christian Church.  Even the Catholic Encyclo­pedia (article, “Virgin Mary,” pp. 459-460) admits that in the first centuries, A.D., there are no traces of the worship of Mary.  By the fourth century, the time of Emperor Con­stan­tine, wor­ship­ping Mary as a goddess and offering cakes at her shrine, began to come into the professing Church.  In A.D. 431, the Council of Ephesus made Mary worship official.  By mixing beliefs already being practiced (Diana of Ephesus worshipped as a goddess) with nominal Christianity, so-called Church “fathers” reasoned that they could gain more converts.  It is the same old story.  Apostates believe that lowering God’s standards results in a better form of religion, more acceptable and popular to the masses.

The Bible is clear that there is only one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus, I Timothy 2:5.  Yet Roman Catholicism teaches that Mary is also a “mediator.”  Catholics offer prayers to Mary, burn candles to Mary, and have statues of Mary, which came directly from their pagan counterparts.  Isis, the Egyptian goddess, was known as “mother of God,” just as Mary is titled by Catholics.  Weigall, in The Paganism in Our Christianity, page 129, says, “When Christianity triumphed, these paintings and figures became those of the madonna and child, without any break in continuity: no archaeologist, in fact, can now tell whether some of these objects represent the one or the other.”

WHY ARE CATHOLICS UNABLE TO ADMIT THAT, YES, THEY DO PRAY TO MARY?

Part of our Catholic training was learning how to pray to the Virgin Mary. Statues of Mary were everywhere you looked, we were taught about the many apparitions of Mary around the world, celebrated Mary on May Day, and gave her the top spot in our thoughts and devotions. St. Mary’s school and Roman Catholic Church taught us these things by order of the Vatican.

In pagan religion, the mother was worshipped as much (or more) than her son!  Noted Roman Catholic writer Alphonsus Liguori stressed that prayers addressed to Mary are much more effectual than to Christ.  Mary is deified as the “queen of heaven,” born without sin (Immaculate Conception), the “mother of God,” exactly as pagan worshippers deified Isis, Venus, Ashtoreth, etc.  Jesus did not teach that Mary was superior to other human beings.  When someone mentioned His mother and brethren, Jesus asked, “Who is My mother? and who are My brethren?”  Then, stretching forth His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Behold My mother and My brethren!  For WHOSOEVER shall do the will of My Father which is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and MOTHER,” Matthew 12:46-50.  Anyone who does the will of God is on the same level as Mary.

Closely associated with praying to Mary is the rosary, a chain of fifteen sets of small beads, marked off by one large bead.  The ends of the chain are joined by a medal with an imprint of Mary, from which hangs a short chain with a crucifix at the end.  The use of prayer-counters or rosary beads is an almost universal custom in pagan religion.  From Nineveh to India to China, beads were used as a part of worship.  The Phoenicians used a circle of beads resembling a rosary in the worship of Astarte, the mother goddess, as early as 800 B.C.  Francis Xavier was astonished to see that rosaries were universally familiar to the Buddhists of Japan.

The main prayer of the rosary is the “Hail Mary.”  The complete rosary repeats the Hail Mary 53 times, the Lord’s Prayer 6 times, and several other recitations.  The Hail Mary combines the statement of the angel about Mary from the Bible with unscriptural blasphemy, “Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou among women Jesus [a loose translation of Luke 1:28], and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death, Amen.”  Mary was not the mother of God, she was not holy, she was a righteous woman who is dead in her grave, waiting for the resurrection to eternal life, with all the other dead in Christ.

The Catholic Encyclopedia says, “There is little or no trace of the Hail Mary as an accepted devotional formula before about 1050,” article “Hail Mary,” p. 111.  Jesus instructs us not to use vain repetitions when we pray, Matthew 6:7-8.  The so-called “Lord’s Prayer” verses 9-13, was a model prayer, not a prayer to be monotonously repeated.  Jesus said in effect “pray thus” (after this manner therefore pray ye), not “pray this.”  Prayer should be spontaneous, not rote memory with no heart-felt meaning.

Now you know where the idea of Mary worship comes from, because it certainly is not in the Bible.

There is not one verse of scripture in the entire Bible that would give any weight at all to praying to Mary, worshipping Mary, or placing Mary in any position of prominence at all. The book of Acts shows that Mary is in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost, but merely as a silent witness. No one asks her anything, and she offers no comments of any kind. Rather strange, don’t you think, considering the exalted position afforded her by the Catholic church?

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4 (KJV)

The Roman Catholic Church is the prophesied Whore of Babylon found in chapters 17 and 18 in the book of Revelation. It is a system that God hates, and will one day destroy during the time of Jacob’s trouble. The Lord saved me back in 1990, and pulled me out of this false system. He will do the same for you if you desire to know the truth.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32 (KJV)

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: They Are Calling It ‘World War Trump’ As Costs Rise Into The Billions With A Defiant Iran Vowing No Retreat And No Surrender

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

We are looking at World War Trump in Iran that just may produce the biggest military conflict anyone has seen since WWII

For weeks now the world has been watching the conflict that many are calling “World War Trump” unfold in real time, and the situation is becoming clearer by the day. President Donald Trump has demanded “unconditional surrender” from Iran, while Tehran has responded with open defiance, calling that demand nothing more than a “dream.” Iran is not surrendering. Not today, not tomorrow, and certainly not easily if at all.

“Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?” Luke 14:31 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the rhetoric coming from Washington is maximalist: surrender, regime change, and the installation of leadership acceptable to the United States. Iran’s response is equally absolute: we will not surrender, and that is the formula for a long war. History teaches this lesson over and over again. Nations rarely surrender when they believe their survival—or their ideology—is at stake. The Islamic Republic of Iran is built on resistance to the West; surrender would mean the collapse of the entire revolutionary system. This is a key point that Trump and his Department of War seem to be blissfully unaware of. The Middle East is the epicenter of the last days, and conflicts like this one are not random accidents of history. They are part of a geopolitical storm building toward the prophetic end times. The Bible warned that the last days would be a time of global instability and military tension. The stage is being set, and not for peace, but for the largest series of wars the world has ever seen. And if Iran refuses to surrender—as it clearly intends to do—the conflict now unfolding could become one of the sparks that ignites the next phase of global upheaval.

The World Is The Closest It’s Ever Been To WWIII As 20 Nations Have Now Joined In Trump’s Iran War That Has Spread Far Beyond Just The Middle East

The World Is The Closest It’s Ever Been To World War III As 20 Nations Across Europe And Middle East Are Now Pulled Into The US War With Iran

There are moments in history when the gears of prophecy seem to audibly grind as they move into position, and we may very well be watching one of those moments right now. The rapidly expanding war centered on Iran is no longer a regional flare-up, it is a geopolitical wildfire drawing in nation after nation until the entire Middle East looks like a powder keg waiting for a single spark to set it off.

“He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.” Daniel 11:24 (KJB)

What began as a direct confrontation between Israel, the United States, and Iran has now metastasized into something far larger. Missiles are flying across borders, drones are swarming the skies, naval forces are positioning in strategic waterways, and at least 20 nations are now either directly involved or caught in the blast radius of the conflict. Bases are being struck, alliances are activating, and the global chessboard is rapidly rearranging itself.

Countries Now Directly Involved or Attacked

Depending on how you count (combatants, bases, or nations hit by missiles), about 15–20 countries are now involved or directly affected.

Main combatants:

  • United States
  • Israel
  • Iran

Other nations now involved:

  • France
  • United Kingdom
  • Australia
  • Greece
  • Turkey
  • Russia
  • China
  • Taiwan

Countries hit by Iranian missiles/drones or hosting US forces

  • Saudi Arabia
  • United Arab Emirates
  • Qatar
  • Bahrain
  • Kuwait
  • Jordan
  • Iraq
  • Oman
  • Turkey
  • Azerbaijan
  • Lebanon (Hezbollah involvement)
  • Cyprus (UK base struck)

If you have even a passing familiarity with Bible prophecy, you should feel the hair on the back of your neck standing up right now. The Bible does not predict a peaceful road leading to the appearance of Antichrist. Instead, it tells us that the last days will be marked by escalating wars, chaos among nations, and a global system struggling to maintain control. Jesus Himself warned that this would be the atmosphere of the end times.

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:7-8 (KJB)

What we are watching unfold in the Middle East fits perfectly into that prophetic framework. This is not the end yet, but it is exactly the kind of destabilizing global conflict that moves the world closer to the moment when a false messiah will step forward promising peace. And that peace will be a lie. Trump’s Board of Peace in Gaza is doomed to failure before it ever even gets off the ground in you believe the prophets. “Believest thou the prophets?” 

Emmanuel Macron orders armada to the Mediterranean

France is deploying about a dozen naval vessels, including its aircraft ‌carrier strike group, to the Mediterranean, Red Sea and potentially the Strait of Hormuz as part of defensive support to allies threatened by the conflict in the Middle East. Speaking in Cyprus before visiting the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, which arrived this weekend in ​the eastern Mediterranean, President Emmanuel Macron sought to reassure his Cypriot counterpart after drones were intercepted heading ​towards the island last week. SOURCE

The prophet Daniel tells us that Antichrist will come to power through diplomacy and deception, presenting himself as the man who can solve the world’s impossible problems.

“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” Daniel 8:25 (KJB)

Think about that for a moment. What kind of world would be desperate enough to accept a global political savior? A world exhausted by war, a world terrified by instability, a world watching alliances collapse and nations burn. In other words, a world that looks exactly like the one we are watching develop right now.

The Middle East has always been the prophetic epicenter of end-times events, and Iran sits right in the middle of several key prophetic trajectories. Whether you look at Ezekiel 38, the alignment of nations around Israel, or the constant drumbeat of conflict surrounding Jerusalem, the pattern is unmistakable. The stage is being set.

“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

Now, does this current war mean that World War III has officially begun? No. But it absolutely demonstrates how quickly the entire planet could be dragged into one. The last century proved how regional wars can explode into global ones. World War I began with a single assassination. World War II began with a territorial invasion. Once alliances begin activating and major powers begin maneuvering, events can spiral out of control faster than anyone expects. And right now, the dominoes are standing closer together than they have in decades.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Trump’s War With Iran Is Costing Nearly $1 Billion Per Day And The Pentagon Will Need Another $50 Billion Just For 50 More Days

9 days into Trump’s war with Iran, the trail of wreckage and spiraling costs are turning it into a dystopian nightmare

Make no mistake about it, America is in the midst of an undeclared war with Iran that is costing the American taxpayer $891 million per day. The Pentagon says it will need another $50 billion to keep the war going for the next month. To date, we’ve taken out the Ayatollah and about 40 of his cabinet. That’s pretty good. But Trump’s war with Iran has also taken out a girl’s schoolhouse killing dozens of young girls and up to 175 other civilians. That’s pretty bad, a war crime actually, but it gets worse. The US Central Command posted today that the 7th American soldier has now given their life for regime change in Iran. Did you have “Dying to support Trump’s war” on your 2026 bingo card? I didn’t vote for this.

“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)” 2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, perhaps  you’ve noticed that gas has gone up over $0.50 per gallon since the Iran War began, and should it continue into springtime, we could very well see a return to Biden-era gas prices of around $5.00 per gallon in a nationwide average. At that point, a recession would be a near guarantee. Man, this is a lot of bad news, so let me give you some good news. Russia is having a boom time as Europe turns to them for their oil and natural gas needs, and that is making Putin a very happy man. OK, so that’s not really good news, but it’s the best we’ve got as the Iran War continues to escalate. Here’s a sobering historical fact: since the invention of the airplane for use in warfare, no air war has ever produced a victory without also putting combat troops on the ground. Not a single time. Iran is not going to surrender, and as this thing drags out, either Israel, the United States or both of them will be forced to wage a ground war. WWIII becomes more and more possible, and probable, with each day that this undeclared war drags on. Today we get you up to speed on the whole mess.

  • “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love. I am convinced that God sent you to share the Good News that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. For that, and for the work you are doing for the Kingdom of God, I say…Thank you and God Bless You.” Sonia Merced
  • “I really enjoy the emails and Bible studies! I haven’t found a church and enjoy your services very much! Be blessed brother!” Marcia Mann
  • “You and your organization are on the front lines in the Battle For Truth…. current events, end times, and trying to awaken a sleeping Laodicean Church. Thank you brother for fighting for us and all your teaching and insight God bless…” Daniel Cartrette
  • I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
  • “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa
  • “Love the Sunday night bible study. I want to support someone who has the passion for the lost like Geoffrey does and rightly divides the word of God. God bless you.” Teresa Carey
  • “I give because not many news outlets are brave enough or Godly enough to tell these stories from a Christian’s point of view. I see stories here that will not be seen anywhere else.” William Grayshaw
  • “It’s hard to find solid biblical teaching in America these days. It’s a blessing to be able to take part in a ministry financially without being concerned about false teaching. All glory to God! God bless!” Maximilian Swan
  • “I donate because you are reporting the truth about the increasing wickedness of our time, as God’s word foretold. In so doing we are reminded to “Keep looking up” as we wait in joyful hope for the Lord’s coming, Maranatha! ” Anthony Sloane
  • “Geoffrey has the best End Times News out there. I have been receiving his emails for years now and always enjoy his Sunday night messages although I don’t always think exactly as he thinks. We are all in this “boat of life” together and as I come to the end of my life’s journey here, I am more aware of Jesus’s call for us to be one as He and the Father are One.” Deborah Cleaveland
