Revelations mentions "the Great Prostitute" that will deceive many. Who/ What do you believe that this is referring to?

I think if you read the bible and then look at many religious leaders today you will not follow because they do not follow the bibles lessons. As far as political leaders and TV/radio personalities ;he could careless about that.

I know who the harlot/ Babylon is----- The United States of America (minus the faithful few Christians who live here and who should hurry and get out before the beast attacks). There is no doubt about it.

You are alluding to the Harlot of Babylon,which is referred to as the Antichrist will deceive those by drawing them into their own pleasure or hedonistic desires of the world for a short time and then they will will be crushed.One has to to be on the vigil and having their eyes fixed on the Lord for when the "Great Rapture" comes.

The woman on the horse represents the church,the impure woman,the Fallen Babylon who will lure individuals who are fixed on wordly things ,the things of the world which they are drawn to for a short period of time and then they will be crushed

By means of her spiritistic practice, ‘all the nations are misled.’ (Revelation 17:18; 18:12, 13, 23) The Bible helps us to see that this harlot is a worldwide religious entity. She depicts, not any one religion, but all religions that produce rotten fruit or FALSE RELIGION/FALSE TEACHINGS.

The beast that the harlot rides pictures the world’s political powers.* (Revelation 17:10-13) False religion straddles the back of this political beast, attempting to influence its decisions and to control its direction.

“The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.” (Revelation 17:16)

The world’s political powers will turn on false religion and completely destroy her! The Bible book of Revelation answers: “God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought.” (Revelation 17:17) God will call false religion to account for all the despicable acts she has committed in his name. In a stroke of perfect justice, he will use her political paramours as his instrument of execution.

I kinda agree with you here. But where should we go? Won't this be worldwide? Most of Europe is post-Christian and the East is closed to Christianity for the most part. From my understanding the U.S. is really the last place that people are able to openly worship God without fear.
