Revelation 17:3


So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness.  And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and then horns.


  • ·        The Harlot will “sit on many waters” (v. 1) or will have authority over “peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues”, as interpreted by the angel (v. 15). She will do this by seducing and controlling the world’s most powerful religious, political and economic leaders through global networks. It is both a religious network (Rev. 17) and an economic network based in the rebuilt city of Babylon in Iraq (Rev. 18).

  • ·        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).


Isaiah 23:17  And it shall be, at the end of seventy years, that the LORD will deal with Tyre.  She will return to her hire, and commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

Psalm 75:10  All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
