Scarlet Woman | Revelation | church of Christ
Chapter 17 opens with one of the angels bearing God's bowls of wrath coming near to John with the intention of showing him the "judgment of the great harlot that sitteth on many waters." The King James version refers to this woman as a "whore." There is some dispute in the religious world today as to who is to be the recipient of God's wrath as pictured in the Revelation. When looking at the characteristics of this woman and comparing her to what we know of the Roman Empire, there can be little doubt as to who this infamous woman represents. The angel goes to great lengths to identify her throughout the chapter. In verse 18, the angel removes all doubt as to who this woman is.
