“...the woman riding the beast is a reference for “The Rape of Europa.””
The Rape of Europa was painted about four hundred years ago. Revelation written 2,000 years ago.
In Biblical terminology, the only city referred to, in the Old Testament, as a whore, is Jerusalem. All the imagery in Revelation comes from the Old Testament. All of it. In Revelation, the woman riding the beast is the Jewish leadership in league with the Romans to persecute Christians. The Jews were the earliest and vicious persecuters of Christians - - the Apostle Paul spent much energy doing that before his road trip.
