4) Unmasking The “Queen Of Heaven” And The Coming Deception

A radiant figure with many names—Ishtar, Asherah, Sophia, “Lady Wisdom”—keeps reappearing across civilizations, texts, and timeline-shaking events. We follow that thread with open sources in hand and ask a hard question: when history celebrates the “Queen of Heaven,” does truth rise or collapse under her altar?

We start where few sermons dare to linger: Enoch 42’s portrait of Wisdom who finds no place among humans and returns to a different heavenly realm. From there, Revelation 12 reframes exile and access, and Proverbs 8 lends a voice that sounds wise yet clashes with Enoch’s warning of “unrighteousness” from her chambers. The plot thickens as we revisit Sumer’s Ianna, Babylon’s Ishtar, and Canaan’s Asherah—traditions that sanctified sexual rites and inverted gender as religious devotion. Kings planted poles on every hill; Jeremiah named the Queen directly; judgment fell on temple and city alike. The pattern is sobering and eerily familiar.

The story doesn’t end in antiquity. We examine Gnostic reverence for Sophia, the explosion of Marian apparitions, and the unsettling way a shining Lady directs prayer to herself, requests shrines, and offers talismans. Fatima’s “dancing sun,” witnessed by tens of thousands, echoes other historical aerial prodigies and raises the stakes: if signs can be staged, only doctrine and fruit can anchor discernment. We also look at a controversial occult thread that tied Ishtar to nationalist mythmaking, and then turn to the Ascension of Isaiah’s warning about a lawless ruler who mimics the Beloved and moves the lights in the sky to win hearts. Add recent claims of a coming “divine feminine” era in 2026 and the need for clarity becomes urgent.

Our stance is simple and practical: test the spirits by their fruits, measure practices against Scripture, and resist spectacle that redirects worship away from the Father.  Learn to discern truth through the Spirit of God. Recognize the civilizational markers that accompanied deception before; and keep your bearings, for black swans are coming of epic proportions!   If this conversation challenged you, share it with someone thoughtful, and leave a review with your biggest question—we’ll bring it into a future episode.
