I Think I Have Already Said It : Catholics Aren't Offering Sacrifice "limleket hashamayyim"


Great Bishop of Geneva! Jeremias 7 and 44 and the Duchess of Dorchester · Duchess of Dorchester, Revisited · New blog on the kid: I Think I Have Already Said It : Catholics Aren't Offering Sacrifice "limleket hashamayyim"

We call, in English, the Blessed Virgin "Queen of Heaven".

We also call Her, in Latin, "Regina Cæli".

In Hebrew, we could certainly NOT call Her "meleketh hashamayyim", we would call Her "gebirah". I don't know the construct state for the noun, bear with me.

Also, every mention of the evil entity that Jeremias called "meleketh hashamayyim" involves a preposition, all five of the mentions are "limleketh hashamayyim" because in all five verses, I've looked them up, God through Jeremias upbraids Judeans for offering sacrifice to her.

7:18 "laasoth kawanim limleketh hashamayyim" (make atonement cakes for the queen of heaven)
44:17 "leqatter limleketh hashamayyim" (burning to the queen of heaven)
44:18 "leqatter limleketh hashamayyim" (dito)
44:19 "meqatterim limleketh hashamayyim" (dito)
44:25 "leqatter limleketh hashamayyim" (dito)


Now, some would say, 6999. "qatar" here means burn incense. This is also a translation offered in the other verses in chapter 44. However, Exodus 29:18 has wə-hiq-ṭar-tā with burning something else than incense, namely doing a holocaust or burned offering of a ram.

Translating "burn incense" is calculated to make it look more like Mariology. We do burn incense before statues of the Blessed Virgin. However, in chapter 7, there is question of a food offering, which we do NOT offer to the Blessed Virgin. Therefore, She is absolutely not the Queen of Heaven that Jeremias is talking of.

And I suspect, something else than just incense was burned to that false deity.

But there is another reason, one I've already mentioned: Queen or Regina here doesn't translate "meleketh" but "gebirah". In Jeremias 29:2 we read:

"aharê sêt yekaneyah ha melek we haggebirah ..."


After that were departed Jeconias the King and the Queen ... as in Queen Mother of Judah. Jesus is ruling in Heavenly Jerusalem. One or possibly ten light days up, above the fix stars. The King of Heaven is King of the Jews.

And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews
[Matthew 27:29]

And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel On the east, three gates: and on the north, three gates: and on the south, three gates: and on the west, three gates And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb And he that spoke with me, had a measure of a reed of gold, to measure the city and the gates thereof, and the wall
[Apocalypse (Revelation) 21:12-15]


And that means, the Queen up there is Queen Mother of Judah, Gebirah.

The title is different. The type of reverence is different. This is not what Jeremias condemned.

I just thought a video was turning up in my feed for a reason, maybe someone's prayer: Who was the so-called Queen of Heaven? • Spotlight • The Cult of the Mother Goddess, and it links to an article: The Cult of the Mother Goddess / Who was the so-called Queen of Heaven?. Here is a further repudiation by citing this article:

While this false deity certainly seems to have had many different names, this goddess always appears to be connected with the heavenly bodies, and specifically the moon. As a matter of fact, the original language itself seems to suggest this as the Hebrew word used in the Masoretic Text (מְלֶ֣כֶת) isn’t the normal word for queen (מַלְכָּה, H4893). Others, including the translators of the Septuagint, understood this word to mean “handiwork.” Thus, the queen of heaven would be “the army of heaven.” Similarly, the Aramaic Targum translates this title as simply “stars.”[7] Several Bible commentators also identify the queen of heaven with the moon, including the renowned Bible scholar Matthew Henry.


OK, the moon. Would Catholics willingly identify Our Lady with the Moon? See Apocalypse 12:

And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars
[Apocalypse (Revelation) 12:1]


Doesn't sound as if the moon were getting Her honour ... but "crown" does sound like some kind of Queen (presumably a Gebirah).

Natalis beatorum Philippi et Jacobi Apostolorum. Ex his Philippus, cum omnem fere Scythiam ad Christi fidem convertisset, tandem apud Hierapolim, Asiae civitatem, cruci affixus et lapidibus obrutus, glorioso fine quievit; Jacobus vero, qui et frater Domini legitur et primus Hierosolymorum Episcopus, e pinna Templi praecipitatus, confractis inde cruribus, ac fullonis fuste in cerebro percussus, interiit, ibique, non longe a Templo sepultus est.

Who Has the Right to Consecrate a Country?


  • 1) Primarily the sovereign, with the bishops of the country, especially the primas;
  • 2) but, the Pope and all the bishops of the world would have the authority to override the negligence of the above.


Why did Our Lady not ask for a consecration of all the world?

All the world is not in equal urgence. New Zealand is probably better off for Pius XII consecrating all the world in 1942, but would have been OK anyway.

Some big or otherwise impoortant countries have on top of that their own consecrations, like France by Lewis XIII and Lewis XVI, like England becoming Our Lady's Dowry in 1381, on authority of Richard II (the democratic king who was prevented from directly helping peasants by the Parliament), like Spain, Alfonso XIII (I don't think Carlists have disputed the consecration). The Holy Land was consecrated when God walked on it. There was therefore no need for a consecration of the whole world.

Why did Our Lady not ask for a consecration of Ukraine?

Ukraine as heir of Kievan Rus' was already consecrated in the Middle Ages, by its own sovereign. The request in Fatima implies that Ukraine rather than Russia is heir to that consecration.

Why did Our Lady ask for a consecration of Russia, then?

If you look at what happened from the unrevenged murder of Rasputin to the equally unrevenged murder of the Czar and his wife and children, it seems Satan was laying claims to Russia.

Our Lady very probably wanted the consecration to act as an exorcism, give Her the authority to exorcise Russia. Remember, she had crushed Satan's head even before the angel spoke, since "blessed among women" is an echo of the words on Jael and Judith, defeateresses of Sisera and Holophernes.

Why Our Lady and not Our Lord?

And the dragon was angry against the woman: and went to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ
[Apocalypse (Revelation) 12:17]

Because Our Lady has a special role, determined by Her Son, by God, in the end times persecution.

Bonum Festum Annuntiationis Beatae Mariae Virginis


Christifidelibus lectoribus exopto./HGL

Annuntiatio beatissimae Virginis Genitricis Dei Mariae.

Inimicitias ponam inter te et mulierem, et semen tuum et semen illius : ipsa conteret caput tuum, et tu insidiaberis calcaneo ejus
[Genesis 3:15]

Benedicta inter mulieres Jahel uxor Haber Cinaei, et benedicatur in tabernaculo suo Aquam petenti lac dedit, et in phiala principum obtulit butyrum Sinistram manum misit ad clavum, et dexteram ad fabrorum malleos. Percussitque Sisaram quaerens in capite vulneri locum, et tempus valide perforans inter pedes ejus ruit : defecit, et mortuus est : volvebantur ante pedes ejus, et jacebat exanimis et miserabilis
[Judges 5:24-27]

Et proferens de pera caput Holofernis, ostendit illis, dicens : Ecce caput Holofernis principis militiae Assyriorum, et ecce conopeum illius, in quo recumbebat in ebrietate sua, ubi per manum feminae percussit illum Dominus Deus noster
[Judith 13:19]

Porro Ozias princeps populi Israel dixit ad eam : Benedicta es tu, filia, a Domino Deo excelso prae omnibus mulieribus super terram
[Judith 13:23]

Benedicta tu a Deo tuo in omni tabernaculo Jacob, quoniam in omni gente, quae audierit nomen tuum, magnificabitur super te Deus Israel
[Judith 13:31]

Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit : Ave gratia plena : Dominus tecum : benedicta tu in mulieribus Quae cum audisset, turbata est in sermone ejus, et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio
[Luke 1:28-29]

Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus : et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth 42 et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit : Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui
[Luke 1:41-42]

Et ait Maria : Magnificat anima mea Dominum et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae : ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est : et sanctum nomen ejus et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum
[Luke 1:46-50]

Quomodo caput diaboli percussit? Non peccando, non heredendo peccatum./HGL

Easter Week is Over, Easter Season is Not


florianisacredmusic : The simple tone version of Regina Caeli, the Marian antiphon for the season
https://www.facebook.com/reel/2611041022396996


Antiphons:

Alma Redemptoris Mater
Sung from the first Sunday of Advent until the Feast of the Purification on February 2 (the original ending date of the Christmas season), this prayer tells of Gabriel’s announcement, and of Mary’s divine motherhood. ...

Ave Regina Caelorum
This anthem is sung from after Purification (February 2 or Candlemas) until Easter Vigil. ...

Regina Caeli
Regina Caeli is perhaps the second-most familiar of the four texts, having been set to music by so many composers over the centuries, and frequently heard at Easter Vigil Mass. It is sung from Easter Vigil through Pentecost Sunday. ...

Salve Regina
... It is sung as a seasonal anthem from the day after Pentecost Sunday until the first Sunday of Advent. As a spoken prayer, it has also been added to the conclusion of the rosary, so it is perhaps the most familiar of these four texts to Catholics. ...
