The "Virgin Queen" refers to Queen Elizabeth I of England, often called this because of her symbolic status as a monarch who never married. Her reign (1558–1603) is particularly important in the history of the English Bible, especially in the context of the Geneva Bible and its influence on later translations, including the King James Version (KJV) and other modern versions. ### 1. **#GenevaBible (1560)** The Geneva Bible was one of the first translations of the Bible into English that was widely used by the English-speaking Protestant community. It was translated by English exiles who had fled the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary I and settled in Geneva, Switzerland, under the leadership of Protestant reformers. The Geneva Bible was known for its strong Calvinist theology and the inclusion of verse divisions and marginal notes that were sometimes controversial to the authorities, including Queen Elizabeth I. - **Elizabeth's Relationship**: Queen Elizabeth I was supportive of the Protestant Reformation and the spread of Protestant translations of the Bible. However, she disapproved of the marginal notes in the Geneva Bible, which were often critical of the monarchy and the hierarchical structure of the Church of England. These notes were sometimes seen as endorsing the idea of resistance to tyrannical rulers, which was seen as a direct challenge to royal authority. Despite this, Elizabeth did not outright ban the Geneva Bible, but she preferred a more controlled, less controversial version. ### 2. **Bishops' Bible (1568)** The Bishops' Bible was commissioned by Elizabeth I as an official Protestant translation of the Bible for use in the Church of England. It was created to compete with the Geneva Bible and to offer a translation that was more aligned with the Church of England's doctrine, without the controversial notes found in the Geneva Bible. The Bishops' Bible was intended to be used in church services and was less radical in its marginal commentary. - **Elizabeth's Influence**: Elizabeth's government was directly involved in the commissioning of the Bishops' Bible, aiming for a more royal-friendly, official version of the scriptures. The Bishops' Bible was the version read in Anglican churches until the King James Version was created.

Lately I’ve been seeing very unbiblical categorizations of Mary, Jesus’ mother. We do not see in scripture this kind of fiction. Mary should have been more honored in her day, BUT, Mary is not a Queen, not a Queen of the Apostles, there isn’t any clarity from scripture that she is now interceding for people, no hint that she can listen to people’s prayers, she is in no way even close to being a “SPOUSE” of the Holy Spirit. This stuff is wild and it’s heresy. Please do your best to search the scriptures and locate these wild ideas. Exegesis is letting the Bible speak what it is meant to speak… and eisegesis is adding unbiblical ideas to biblical concepts to the scriptures to say what we “think” it should say. The Bible does speak very clearly about the Bride of Christ but not a female spouse of the Holy Spirit. Why is all of this a big deal? Well for many very important reasons. Catholic doctrine adds to scripture in many categories, things that are not even hinted at in the Bible. Then people are expected to follow these false doctrines with loyalty. Take a look at any statement you see someone make and literally go back to the Bible and try and find it. Oh and that Pope right now is not a apostolic successor of Peter. That’s a big lie as well. Be free to follow Christ beyond all this crazy false doctrine. www.biblegateway.com is a great place to search the entire Bible. Using chatGpt or Bard AI or another AI platform can help you search out whether something is actually in the Bible.
“It is not an empty flattery to bestow on Mary the title of Queen of the Apostles. Just as she assisted the Apostles, the teachers of the infant church with the support and advice of a mother, so we must affirm that at all times and in all ways she accords her assistance to all those who inherit the office of the Apostles.” -Pope Benedict XV Today’s Reflection: https://ow.ly/lmSr50Tks6B Mary’s role as Queen of Apostles did not end with the coming of the Holy Spirit. In fact, it was only beginning. Just as she interceded for the Apostles and the early Church, she desires to intercede for us in our task of conquering the world for Christ, through the power of her spouse, the Holy Spirit.

How Long Did the Moors Have White Slaves? How long did the Moors have white slaves? by Gerald Swick10/27/2015 Share This Article How long did the Moors have white slaves? —SB Advertisement ? ? ? Dear SB, “Moor” has long been a vague term, though we’ve generally come to use it for various caliphates in North Africa and, between 711 and 1492, a large part of the Iberian Peninsula. “Moors” in that period ranged from Semitic Arabs to Berbers to black Africans who made their way north via the trade routes, to migrating Gypsies (credited with influencing Spanish music, including Flamenco) to Caucasian Riffs and converted Spanish Muslims (Andalusians and Grenadines). Throughout the time period mentioned—and, in fact, well into the 1800s—the various peoples in those Moorish kingdoms practiced slavery and white captives were used whenever they could obtain them, often from Barbary pirates ravaging the Mediterranean. It was estimated that white slaves in Moorish servitude reached 1.2 million by 1780. Not that the Moors limited the system, such as it was, to Europeans. In 1591 a Moorish expedition headed south to smash the black Songhai empire, motivated primarily by gold and secondarily in taking black slaves. If one wasn’t a subject of the kingdom, they were equal opportunity oppressors. Nor were they the only ones—in the 13th century participants in the Children’s Crusades who naively obtained passage aboard ships run by unscrupulous crewmen were taken to Egypt, to be sold into slavery there. Sincerely,

I Am Going To See The King (Esther 4:16) The title is the words of Queen Esther. The question is, why would Queen Esther say these words? Well, we have discovered that someone named Haman was bothering Queen Esther and her people, the Jews. Haman wanted to destroy all the Jews because a Jew named Mordecai did not reverence him after King Ahasuerus promoted him (Esther 3:1-6). Not only that but, Haman started badmouthing the Jews to the king so he could have the authority to destroy the Jews, which the king did without knowing Haman was not being truthful (Esther 3:7-15). Consequently, Mordecai was able to make contact with Queen Esther through her maids and chamberlains that Haman was plotting to destroy all the Jews at Susa. When Queen Esther heard it, she told Mordecai and all the Jews to fast for three days (Esther 4:1-17). Note that Esther said, "If I perish, I perish, but I am going to see the King" (Esther 4:16). Even though this was not the custom, she did, and as a result, Haman and his sons were destroyed, while Mordecai was promoted (Esther 5:1-10:3). Takeaways: When your enemy plots to destroy you, you should tell the King of Kings about it, God. Telling God/the King about it, you should let him know that you are serious by praying and fasting. Not only that but, even if it means dying to see the King, you are willing to do that. Also, you should expect/believe God will defeat the enemy who is trying to destroy you. Because whatever you ask God for, it should be done in faith. Also, you should expect God to let you know when he has defeated your enemy, and give you a promotion for passing the test. Remember, the Enemy you need to defeat is sin/the Devil in order to see King Jesus, God. Very important, you have to see the King/God on his terms and not yours. https://lnkd.in/er83vuQ https:www.brientertainment..com
