129The angel said to me [John], "Every place where the prostitute is ruling represents masses of people of every language and nation.

    Then they will strip the prostitute [man's religion] naked and eat her flesh and burn whatever is left with fire. Because God has put this thought in their minds to carry out His purposes.

          They will agree to give the scarlet beast their authority and this fulfills God's Words. Now this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over all the leaders of the world."
