Solomon's Temple and the Whore

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)

The Temple was to be destroyed, never to be rebuilt (Revelation 18.21-4)
