The Harlot Of Revelation Chapter 17

The antichrist is directly associated with another important entity in Revelation chapter 17. This entity is described in the Apostle John’s vision of a harlot woman in Revelation 171-9. John sees a harlot sitting on many waters. A chaste and righteous woman or bride often depicts God’s faithful peoplechurch in Scripture (2nd Corinthians 112; Revelation 197-9). However, an impure, harlot woman often depicts God’s professed peoplechurch when they are unfaithful, disobedient and compromising with sin and the world (Jeremiah 31,8; Ezekiel 1626-39; James 44-5). Revelation 1715 also tells us that the waters on which the harlot sits represents multitudes, peoples, nations and tongues. Therefore, we have a picture of an unfaithful, disobedient church who presides over multitudes of people throughout many nations and languages.

This harlotunfaithful church has also been unfaithful to Jesus, her espoused Husband (2nd Corinthians 112), because she is accused of committing fornication.
