70 AD) depicts Rome as a woman sitting on seven hills. A Roman coin minted under the Emperor Vespasian (ca. In Revelation 17:9 it is said that she sits on 'seven mountains', typically understood as the seven hills of Rome. In 4 Ezra, 2 Baruch and the Sibylline Oracles, 'Babylon' is a cryptic name for Rome.

It 'is the Roman imperial world, which in turn represents the world alienated from God.' Some exegetes interpret the passage as a scathing critique of a servant people of Rome who do the Empire's bidding, interpreting that the author of Revelation was speaking of the Herodians-a party of Jews friendly to Rome and open to its influence, like the Hellenizers of centuries past-and later, corrupt Hasmoneans, where the ruler of Jerusalem or Roman Judea exercised his power at the pleasure of the Roman emperor, and was dependent on Roman influence, like Herod the Great in the Gospel of Luke. Craig Koester says outright that 'the whore is Rome, yet more than Rome.' Some biblical scholars recognize that 'Babylon' is a cipher for Rome or the Roman Empire but believe Babylon is not limited to the Roman city of the first century.

According to Eusebius of Caesarea Babylon would be Rome or the Roman Empire:ДЄnd Peter makes mention of Mark in his first epistle which they say that he wrote in Rome itself, as is indicated by him, when he calls the city, by a figure, Babylon, as he does in the following words: В«The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you and so does Marcus my son.В»(1 Peter 5:13)' Many Biblical scholars believe that 'Babylon' is a metaphor for the pagan Roman Empire at the time it persecuted Christians, before the Edict of Milan in 313. Some scholars interpret 'Babylon' as being based on historical places and events.ДЇirst Peter ( 1 Peter 5:13) implies the author is in 'Babylon', which has been held to be a coded reference to Rome. These capital cities, representing the states they govern, are alleged to have committed various sins that have rendered them sexually promiscuous, and therefore they will eventually be annihilated through various well-deserved violent punishments sent by the Israelite God Yahweh. Д¬aroline Vander Stichele (2000) demonstrated that the narrative of the Whore of Babylon follows many of the same patterns of the personification of capital cities as women who commit 'prostitution / whoredom' and/or 'adultery' in the prophetic books of the Hebrew Bible. There is much speculation within Christian eschatology on what the Whore and beast symbolize as well as the possible implications for contemporary interpretations. The Whore's apocalyptic downfall is prophesied to take place in the hands of the image of the beast with seven heads and ten horns. The word 'Whore' can also be translated metaphorically as ' Idolatress'. The Whore is associated with the Beast of Revelation by connection with an equally evil kingdom.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.ДЄnd the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:ДЄnd upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.ДЄnd I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.ДЄnd here is the mind which hath wisdom. With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. The 'great whore' of the Book of Revelation is featured in chapter 17:ДЄnd there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
