How awesome and great is our God, that He would choose to reveal to us the wonders He has wrought.
How mysterious are His ways, and how fortunate that we may know them.
How interesting that Mary should reside with John in the city of Ephesus and that it was there that God would reveal the true Queen Mother of Heaven.
If I believed in coincidences, I would be surprised by this.
But, as I know that God has made all things for Himself and makes good of all things for those who love Him, this comes as no surprise.
The queen of heaven worshiped in Ephesus was Diana. The temple built there to her was purported to be magnificent. Adopting the queen of heaven mantra sure appealed to those who had been worshiping her didn’t it. Of course the merchants mentioned in Acts 19 could simply keep making their trinkets to the queen of heaven and not lose their livelihood. Can you say mixing pagan with Christian.
