“Babylon the Great” represents “worldly” culture that has rejected the true God for materialism, affluence and comfort. It is not a literal single city, but any place with an idolatrous materialistic character and worldview.

Also, the “harlot” is not a literal person, but she represents a culture and people that are obsessed with pleasure and sensuality and have rejected the Lord.

Both are alive and well in the world today.

No, it is more than that. It is Satan’s web of control of all Earthly endeavor, secular, and ecclesiastical.
