Israel is depicted as the preeminent harlot in biblical prophecy, embodying the identity of Mystery, Babylon the Great, as described in Revelation 17 and 18. This portrayal extends beyond a mere religious entity to a city or nation with immense political, economic, and military power, influencing global trade and commerce on a massive scale. Jerusalem, representing all Israel, is acknowledged by God as great in worldly terms, controlling a significant portion of the world's wealth and holding sway over the Beast, making it largely conform to her will until the time appointed by God for her humbling. God entered into a unique covenant relationship with Israel, akin to marriage, marked by intimacy and exclusivity not extended to any other nation. Despite the great gifts and revelations bestowed upon her, Israel's faithlessness and deviance from her responsibilities to God are unparalleled. Her rise to worldly greatness came through the misuse of these divine gifts, showcasing not only power but also profound religious confusion and moral departure from God's covenant. In the prophetic imagery of Revelation 17, the great harlot, Israel, is shown sitting upon many waters, the Beast, and seven mountains, symbolizing her authority and wide-ranging influence over numerous nations and peoples. Unlike the Beast, which comprises diverse multitudes, nations, and tongues, Israel is portrayed as a singular, powerful entity, capable of exerting control and maintaining a dominant position in the end-time scenario until God's judgment unfolds.
