The "Harlot" was also used to refer to Jerusalem and to the ancient state of Davidic Israel (not to modern day Israel of course).
The harlot was brought down -- Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD...

"... there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down"
Jerusalem will be destroyed again. A lot of Bible Prophesy is dual.
... while the city was destroyed, there were thousands of stones which were left intact,
and which are there yet today, if one is to take Jesus' prediction that there would "not be left one stone atop another" literally!
It is obvious to serious students of the Bible and Spirit-filled believers that Jesus' Olivet prophecy was DUAL.
It had a previous "typical" fulfillment in the sack and destruction of Jerusalem by the armies of Titus of Rome in A.D. 70-71.
Shockingly, there is to be a yet future destruction of the city of Jerusalemyes, the modern cityaccording to Bible prophecy!
A couple of other examples of duality are found in the descriptions of the King of Babylon (Isaiah 14:4) and the Prince of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:2).
All the Bible commentaries are universal in their acceptance of the duality of these two chapters in their description of human, physical kings of empires or city states, and a description of Satan the devil!
