The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of her fornication.
· 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).
Daniel 11:38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things.
Nahum 3:4 Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot. The mistress of sorceries, who sells nations through her harlotries, and families through her sorceries.
