The kings of the earth (political
leaders) will be privy to some of the lies that empower the Harlot system, yet
ascribe to it for money, honor and power. They will support her agenda and
knowingly promote her lies to the masses for the sake of their own gain. In
this way, they will knowingly “prostitute themselves” or “commit fornication” with
her in knowingly supporting her deception for money (Rev. 17:2; 18:3, 9).

Her “wine” is the false ideas or
beliefs that come from her “fornication” or compromises with biblical truth.
Her seductions offer great benefits, including humanitarian aid, unified
religion (that minimizes wars) and a prosperous world economy, but come at a
great cost of God’s judgment. The nations will “get drunk” (intoxicated
and euphoric) about this new religion and ideology that brings unity and peace
without any restraint or accountability for their actions (Ps 2).
