Work in progress:
The Whore resembles the Temple, covered in purple, scarlet, glittering with gold and precious stones, and holding a cup of blood (animal sacrifice, which were only allowed at the Temple) (Revelation 17.4-6)
The Whore (Can also be referred to as the Idolatress) is a city (Revelation 17.18) - Jerusalem.
The Whore of Babylon was a dwelling place for idolatry (Revelation 18.1-4). Solomon built altars to false gods (1 Kings 11.1-6)
Babylon became a dwelling place for demons
(Revelation 18.2-3). Manasseh built altars to foreign gods (arguably who became known as demons) (2 Chronicles 33:5)
The people were intoxicated by her adulteries. Solomon's commitment to false gods could be interpreted to adultery against God. (1 Kings 11.1-5)
