The Harlot was Jerusalem
Clearly, the Harlot is physical Jerusalem. It was destroyed in 70 AD and eventually ploughed under in 135 AD. _______________ Bible verifications for identifying historical Jerusalem as the great harlot: 2 Samuel 1:24 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in SCARLET AND LUXURY, who ADORNED YOUR GARMENTS WITH ORNAMENTS OF GOLD. Revelation 17:3-4 Now the woman was dressed in purple and SCARLET clothing, and DECKED WITH GOLD, PRECIOUS STONES, and pearls. She held in her hand a GOLDEN CUP filled with detestable things and unclean things from her sexual immorality. Ezekiel 16:1-63 ...“Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations... “Therefore, O PROSTITUTE, hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD, Because your lust was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your whorings with your lovers... I will gather them against you from every side and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness... They shall STRIP YOU OF YOUR CLOTHES
