Revelation 17:18




And the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”


  • ·        The woman whom you saw is the great city = begins the final explanatory item of the bowl-carrying angel. The identity of the woman is given. She is the great city. (RC)

  • ·        Which reigns (literally, has a kingdom) over the kings of the earth = is the final defining strait for the woman. The way the woman rules over the kings of the earth is through the Antichrist. This makes her a harlot. She prostitutes herself with Antichrist when she rightly belongs to God.  (RC)

Psalm 137:8  O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, happy the one who repays you as you have served us!

Psalm 2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed..
