50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Rome had power in the past, but not today,>>>>>>
Not Rome itself.
The way i see it up until just the last very few years the Churches combined has had more power than any other power,
If the protestants which came from the Catholic Church gave their power to the mother Church there would be no power their equal
“24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Rev. 18:24 >>>>>
I can not explain that which is the only thing i see that might point to Israel.
The whore being drunken on the blood of the saints could not be fulfilled by Jerusalem.
The golden cup and the blood of the saints could only be referring to the blood of Jesus, the saints drink wine which represented the blood of Jesus.
“Not Rome itself.

Well, seeing as none of those churches has an army, or a single tank, jet fighter, aircraft carrier or nuclear warhead, I can’t really agree with your assessment. They may be influential, but they aren’t really powerful.
Also, Revelation says in no uncertain terms, when the angel explains the “mystery of the woman” in Chapter 17, that the woman is a city, not a church or churches:
“18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.”
“Yes it was required of that generation, i believe that was fulfilled,...”
One more thing. Check out the meaning of the word “generation” in that verse, because it does not always correspond to the common modern English usage of the word. Sometimes it does, but other times, it means the entire lineage of a people or all the descendants of a person, as it is used in Genesis, for example “These are the generations of Noah”, etc. This is one of those words that needs to be carefully placed in context in a lot of Bible verses.
