Female Imagery in Revelation Part 3 | The Great Prostitute

Today we’re in part 3 of our 4-part series on female imagery in Revelation. A major theme of the book of Revelation which we will see amplified in our passage today is that of forgery, or counterfeiting the things of God. As we study Revelation chapter 17 and “The Great Prostitute” of Babylon, we’ll uncover extensive imagery that is referencing the Wisdom literature and the ways that Satan is trying to copy goodness and Godliness. This is once again imagery that should be clear to Bible scholars but which is typically overlooked because it connects parts of the Bible that focus on feminine language. So let’s uncover the ways that God is tying scripture together and how that informs our discernment of truth in the things we pursue.
