And the ten horns which you saw on
the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her
flesh and burn her with fire.
- · Will hate the harlot = is the first. Revelation 17:7 and 9 indicates that the harlot’s relationship to the beast is mutual. She wants to be with the beast and the beast wants her. Therefore, Revelation 17:16 must be taken in an ingressive sense. That is, the ten horns and the beast "will begin to hate the harlot." Something will happen that will change the relationship between the harlot, the beast, and his confederate nations. (RC)
- · Will make here desolate and naked = signals both depopulation and shame. (RC)
Daniel 7:24 The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise
from this kingdom. And another shall
rise after them; he shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue
three kings.
Isaiah 1:21 How the faithful city ahs become a
harlot! It was full of justice;
righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
