QUEEN OF HEAVEN — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List



Visit https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/ to see more.

As I point out in the series “Our Pagan World: The Easter Myth Exposed!”, in the Scriptures, the phrase “queen of heaven” is a reference to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar, who was the goddess of love, war, fertility and sexuality. This deity was known by a variety of names amongst the cultures of the Middle East, southern Europe and northern Africa; including Astarte, Ashtoreth, Isis, Aphrodite and Venus, and possibly a few others. King Solomon also fell into worshipping this false goddess.

“Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?‭ 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 7:17-18, KJV

“As for‭ the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.‭ But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for ‭then‭ had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.‭ But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all ‭things‭, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.‭ And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?”
Jeremiah 44:16-19, KJV

“Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that ‭are‭ in the land of Egypt:‭ 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.‭ 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.‭ ‭‭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.‭”
Jeremiah 44:24-27, KJV
