Ok; then WHO is the WHORE?
Look to the Old Testament for the answer to that! That’s where the keys to understanding the symbolic language of Revelation is to be found! I’ll get you started:
How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers. Isaiah 1:21
The faithful city was Jerusalem. The harlot of Revelation 17 is its corrupt, apostate priesthood, which opposed Christ and had Him crucified.
The clothes she is described as wearing are the clothes of an ancient Jewish priest. Read Exodus 28 to see how the priest’s clothes were to be made.
Revelation was completely fulfilled in 70 AD, with the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple.
