The Whore of Babylon, refers to both a symbolic female figure and place of evil mentioned in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.
King James Version, Revelation 17:18 "And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."
Obviously that is the most powerful nation in the world, and that "was" (maybe still is) the United States of America.
In context, Revelation is about two demons from the smokey (brimstone) bottomless pit of hell who rose to the leadership of the United States and attacked Babylon, Iraq. Those two demons from hell are President George Herbert Walker Bush (the bible calls him the dragon), and President George W. Bush (the bible calls him the beast).
The bible says that the beast is the son of the dragon, born of the dragon's mouth. I won't speculate about how W. Bush was conceived.
The bible says that the dragon and the beast attacked Babylon, Iraq.
The bible says that the Clinton administration interrupted the two Bush administrations. The bible says it this way: The administration that was (GHW Bush) that is no more (Clinton) is again (W. Bush).
Preachers tell lies about revelation. They say that Babylon in the bible is not the same as Babylon, Iraq. As any archaeologist can tell you, Babylon is an ancient city, and it has been there for thousands of years. Revelation says that anyone who tries to change the meaning of Revelation will burn in the fires of the bottomless pit of hell for all eternity, and they will be written out of the book of life forever (does this mean that they will not be reincarnated?).
Of course we know that the Bush presidents openly defied God's commandment not to kill, and defied God's commandment not to bear false witness. We also know that they lied to the American people about a lot of things (Iran Contra scandal, environmental damage (as they bragged that they were the environmental presidents), and they made a torture camp in Guantanamo, Cuba. Surely you can recognize Satan by following the greed trail and the blood trail. Look for fear and lies in order to spot Satan (remember the phony Orange alerts that Tom Ridge (head of Homeland Security) were not issued by him, but issued by his superiors (W. Bush or Cheney)?
