    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 3, 2024
     | 1,622 views

    The worship of the queen of heaven was a vile, idolatrous practice derived originally from Babylon right back to Nimrod. Judah was so committed to this gross worship that God even forbade Jeremiah to plead/intercede for the people. Certain destruction awaited them.
