This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The woman (hē gunē). She is now explained after the beast has been interpreted. Rev 17:9 made it plain enough, but this verse demonstrates that the woman is the city of Rome “which reigneth (hē echousa basileian, the one having a kingdom) over the kings of the earth (epi tōn basileōn tēs gēs).” Rome followed Babylon, and other cities may follow in their train.
