God was talking to Jeruslem here..........warning them....of the whore . he spoke in isa and jerimiah of the whore....and all that drank of HER cup
selling themselves out to idols, and drinking and eating of idolotry. He says
(Isa 52:3) For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
(Isa 52:11) Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of HER; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
(Eze 16:28) Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
(Eze 16:29) Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
(Rev 17:1) And 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:
(Rev 17:2) 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.
(Rev 17:3) 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.
(Rev 17:4) And 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:
(Rev 17:5) And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
The whore is the churches of this world, buying and selling His word for their own gain. and yet when He warned Israel and jeruslem He said they would be saved.even after sodom and gomorrah:
Eze 16:55) When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
they were the daughters of the harlot.
