Parallels

  • Revelation 15:1 (structural): Introduces the seven angels with the seven last plagues/bowls—provides the immediate literary context for the angel described in Rev 17:1.
  • Revelation 14:8 (thematic): Announces the fall of 'Babylon the great' and links Babylon to sexual/fornication imagery (making nations drink the wine of her fornication), thematically prefiguring the 'great harlot.'
  • Revelation 17:5 (verbal): Gives the identification/title of the woman as 'Mystery: Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes,' directly developing the harlot motif introduced in 17:1.
  • Revelation 17:15 (verbal): Explains the imagery of 'waters' on which the harlot sits—interpreting them as peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues, clarifying the scope of her influence mentioned in 17:1.
  • Jeremiah 51:7 (thematic): Speaks of Babylon as a cup that made the nations drunken—a Near Eastern prophetic antecedent for depicting a city/nation as an intoxicating, corrupting influence like the harlot seated on many waters.

Parallels

  • Rev.18.3 (verbal): Almost identical language: nations/kings 'have drunk the wine of her fornication' and 'the kings of the earth committed fornication with her'—direct verbal and thematic parallel within Revelation's Babylon motif.
  • Rev.14.8 (verbal): Announces 'Babylon the great is fallen… made all nations drink of the wine of the passion/of her fornication'—same wine-of-fornication image used to describe global spiritual intoxication.
  • Jer.51.7 (thematic): 'Babylon was a golden cup… made all the earth drunk; the nations drank of her wine'—uses the cup/wine metaphor to portray a city's corrupting influence on nations, which Revelation echoes.
  • Hosea 4.11 (thematic): Links 'whoredom' and 'wine'—'Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart'—provides Old Testament precedent for associating sexual idolatry with intoxicating wine imagery.
  • Ezek.16.32 (allusion): Uses the prostitute metaphor for a city (Jerusalem) whose lovers include foreign powers/clients ('you prostituted yourself with the Egyptians')—parallels Revelation's depiction of a city whose sexual alliances with kings symbolize political/idolatrous corruption.

Parallels

  • Revelation 13:1 (verbal): Describes a beast rising from the sea with seven heads and ten horns—nearly identical beast imagery, linking the two visions of imperial/eschatological power.
  • Revelation 12:3 (allusion): The great red dragon is depicted with seven heads and ten horns; shares the same head-horn motif and cosmic adversary symbolism found in Rev 17:3.
  • Daniel 7:7-8 (thematic): Daniel’s vision of a fourth beast with ten horns (and a little horn arising) provides the Old Testament prototype for the horn-head imagery and its association with kingdoms/powers.
  • Revelation 17:1-2 (structural): Immediate context introducing the 'great harlot' and her fornication with the kings of the earth explains the woman seated on the beast motif of v.3.
  • Revelation 17:12 (structural): Explicitly interprets the ten horns as ten kings who receive authority for a time—linking the horns of v.3 to political rulers allied with the beast.

4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls; in her hand she held a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication.

Parallels

  • Jeremiah 51:7 (verbal): Babylon is called a 'golden cup' that makes the nations drunk — echoes the image of a golden cup associated with idolatry/abominations and corrupting influence.
  • Ezekiel 16:13-15 (thematic): God's adornment of Jerusalem with gold, jewels and fine clothing and her subsequent 'playing the harlot' parallels the woman clothed in purple and gold who prostitutes herself.
  • Ezekiel 23:14-15 (thematic): The depiction of the two sisters who deck themselves with ornaments and prostitute themselves to foreign lovers parallels the motifs of ornamentation and sexual/commercial unfaithfulness.
  • Revelation 17:1-2 (structural): Immediate context: the woman is explicitly identified as 'the great prostitute' who seduces the kings of the earth — same figure and descriptive framework as v.4.
  • Revelation 18:3 (thematic): Babylon 'made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her fornication' — develops the cup/fornication imagery and the corrupting reach of the woman's prostitution.

Parallels

  • Revelation 18:2-3 (verbal): Repeats and expands the 'Babylon the great' motif: fallen city as a dwelling of demons and the nations 'drinking the wine of her fornication,' paralleling 'mother of harlots' and her corrupting influence.
  • Revelation 14:8 (verbal): The announcement 'Babylon the great has fallen' echoes the same title applied to the woman in 17:5, reinforcing the identification and judgment theme.
  • Ezekiel 23:4-5, 37-49 (thematic): Uses prostitute imagery and the mother-daughter paradigms (Oholah and Oholibah) to depict national unfaithfulness—background for calling a city 'mother of harlots.'
  • Jeremiah 51:7 (thematic): Speaks of Babylon as a golden cup making the nations drunk—parallel to Revelation's claim that Babylon corrupts the peoples of the earth through her 'fornication' and abominations.
  • Isaiah 47:1-7 (allusion): Addresses 'daughter of Babylon' with taunts of humiliation and judgment upon a proud, debased city—an Old Testament precedent for the female personification of Babylon in Revelation.

Parallels

  • Revelation 18:24 (verbal): Directly repeats the accusation that in the fallen city/harlot was found the blood of prophets and of saints, echoing the woman's blood-guilt language.
  • Revelation 16:6 (verbal): Speaks of those who 'have shed the blood of saints and prophets' and (in the plague context) are given blood to drink — parallels the motif of blood as drink and drunkenness.
  • Revelation 19:2 (thematic): Declares God's judgment and vengeance for 'the blood of his servants' and pronounces punishment on the great prostitute who corrupted the earth, connecting her blood-guilt to divine retribution.
  • Revelation 6:9-11 (thematic): The martyrs under the altar cry for vindication; this passage thematically links with the identification of victims as 'the saints' and 'martyrs of Jesus' whose blood demands justice.
  • Matthew 23:34-35 (allusion): Jesus' denunciation that Jerusalem/its leaders have slain prophets and righteous (from Abel to Zechariah) provides a scriptural background for blaming a community/agent for the blood of God's messengers and saints.

  • Revelation 13:1 (verbal): Same beast imagery—'a beast rising out of the sea' with seven heads and ten horns—providing a parallel description of the imperial/antagonistic power referenced in 17:7.
  • Revelation 12:3 (verbal): The dragon is pictured with seven heads and ten horns; the shared iconography links the dragon, the beast(s), and cosmic/imperial hostility to God's people.
  • Daniel 7:7-8 (thematic): Daniel's vision of a beast with ten horns (and a little horn arising) supplies the Old Testament background for interpreting horns as kingdoms/powers that oppose God—a key interpretive frame for Revelation's beast.
  • Daniel 7:23-25 (thematic): Daniel's interpretation treats the beasts as human kingdoms that persecute the holy ones; this theme parallels Revelation's portrayal of the beast's hostility to the woman/saints and helps explain the 'mystery' as political/spiritual persecution.

Parallels

  • Revelation 13:8 (verbal): Uses the same idea of people “whose names are not written in the book of life” who worship or marvel at the beast—direct verbal/thematic overlap with Rev 17:8’s phrase about names not being written.
  • Revelation 11:7 (verbal): Speaks of the beast ‘that ascends out of the abyss’ (ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τῆς ἀβύσσου), the same imagery of a beast coming up from the abyss found in Rev 17:8.
  • Revelation 17:11 (verbal): Repeats the formula about the beast ‘that was and is not,’ and develops the identity/theme of the beast (an eighth, and of the seven), directly echoing and interpreting the language of 17:8.
  • Daniel 7:8 (thematic): Daniel’s visions of composite beasts and a blasphemous horn that speaks arrogantly provide the Old Testament precedent for using beasts to symbolize kingdoms/powers and persecutory rulers—background for Revelation’s beast imagery and 'was/was not' motifs.

Parallels

  • Revelation 13:18 (verbal): Both verses open with an exhortation to discernment — 'Here is wisdom' / 'Here is the mind which hath wisdom' — linking the call to understand the beast's number (13:18) with the explanation of the seven heads/mountains (17:9).
  • Revelation 17:3 (structural): Earlier description of the woman seated on the scarlet beast with seven heads establishes the immediate narrative and imagery that 17:9 explicates (the seven heads as seven mountains).
  • Revelation 17:18 (thematic): Identifies the woman as 'that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth,' connecting the seven mountains motif (often read as the seven hills of Rome) to the city's political power over kings mentioned in 17:9–10.
  • Daniel 7:23-25 (allusion): Daniel's vision interprets beasts and horns as kingdoms and kings; Revelation draws on this tradition by treating the beast's heads as kings (Rev 17:9–10), so Daniel provides the prophetic background for reading heads/mountains as imperial/political powers.

  • Dan.7:24-25 (allusion): Daniel's vision of ten horns as ten kings and the brief, persecuting rule of a final horn (and the 'time' imagery) is a clear antecedent for Revelation's use of horn/king succession and the limited duration ('a little while') of the coming ruler.
  • Dan.2:41-44 (thematic): Nebuchadnezzar's successive world-kingdoms (divided toes/horns) parallel Revelation's sequence of fallen and future kings—successive empires culminating in a final eschatological resolution, which explains the 'one is, the other has not yet come' pattern.
  • Rev.13:3-5 (verbal): The beast-of-the-sea imagery overlaps: a head apparently wounded and healed (v.3) and the beast's limited authority (v.5, 'given authority for forty-two months') echo the cyclical 'fallen/one is/not yet come' language and the notion that the coming ruler will 'remain a little while.'

Parallels

  • Proverbs 24:29 (verbal): Near-verbal parallel: both warn against saying 'I will render to the man according to his work' — the language of exact retribution echoes Revelation's 'render to her as she hath rendered.'
  • Jeremiah 50:15 (verbal): Oracular denunciation of Babylon: 'take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her' closely parallels Revelation's command to repay Babylon double for her deeds.
  • Deuteronomy 32:35 (thematic): The divine claim 'Vengeance is mine; I will repay' provides the theological backdrop for the retributive formula in Revelation 18:6 (God/agent repaying wrongdoing).
  • Exodus 21:24 (structural): The lex talionis ('eye for eye, tooth for tooth') supplies the legal principle of proportional retribution that undergirds the injunction to 'repay her double'.

Alternative generated candidates

Parallels

  • Isaiah 47:7-9 (verbal): Isaiah taunts Babylon for boasting ‘I shall be a lady forever… I am and shall be no widow, nor shall I know the loss of children’ — closely echoed language and theme of proud, self-assured Babylon judged for her arrogance.
  • Revelation 17:18 (structural): Within Revelation the same figure is identified as ‘that great city which reigneth over the kings of the earth,’ reinforcing the queenly, imperial self-presentation found in 18:7 and linking the woman-of-Babylon tradition across the two chapters.
  • Ezekiel 16:15,41-43 (thematic): Ezekiel personifies Jerusalem as a proud, adulterous woman who is stripped, shamed and made like a widow — a thematic parallel of proud urban femininity condemned and reversed into mourning.
  • Lamentations 1:1,17-18 (thematic): Lamentations portrays the once‑regal city now desolate and widowed; this antithetical motif (queen → widow/mourning) contrasts with Babylon’s boast in Rev 18:7 and anticipates the prophetic reversal of fortune.

Parallels

  • Revelation 17:16 (thematic): Both verses depict the destruction of 'the prostitute' / Babylon by burning: Rev 17:16 says the beast's allies will make her desolate and burn her with fire, paralleling Rev 18:8's 'she will be burned with fire.'
  • Isaiah 47:9-11 (allusion): Isaiah's oracle against Babylon warns that calamity will come 'suddenly, in one day'—the same sudden, single-day overturn motif found in Rev 18:8 ('in one day her plagues will come').
  • Nahum 1:2-3 (thematic): Nahum proclaims the LORD as a jealous, avenging God whose power executes judgment; this echoes Rev 18:8's closing formula attributing Babylon's destruction to 'the Lord God who judges her' and emphasizes divine might in judgment.

  • And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, 'Come, I will show you the sentence upon the great prostitute who sits upon many waters.'

With whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls; in her hand she held a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication.

Upon her forehead was written a name, a mystery: 'BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.' And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her, I marveled with great astonishment. So the angel said to me, 'Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that bears her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.'

'The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel when they see the beast that was, and is not, and will be present.'

'Here is the meaning of the seven heads: they are seven mountains on which the woman sits;'

'and there are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he does come, he must remain a little while.'

'The beast that was and is not is himself an eighth, and is one of the seven; and he goes to destruction.'

'The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour.'

'These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast.'

'They shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.'

Then he said to me, 'The waters that you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.'

'The ten horns you saw and the beast shall hate the prostitute; they will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.'

'For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by having a common purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled.'

'And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.'

After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illumined with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.'

'For all nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her fornication; and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth have grown rich by the abundance of her luxury.'

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, that you may not participate in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues;'

for her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

Repay her as she has repaid, and double to her the double according to her works; in the cup that she mixed, mix twice for her.

To the degree that she glorified herself and lived deliciously, to that degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen; I am no widow; and I shall not see mourning.'

'Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death, and mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.' And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and wail over her, when they see the smoke of her burning;

standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, 'Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.' And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more;

cargo of gold and silver and precious stones and pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet, and all kinds of citron wood and every costly wood and articles of ivory and articles of costly wood and brass and iron and marble,

and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep and horses and chariots and bodies and souls of men.

'The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all your delicacies and splendors are lost to you; never again will you find them.'

The merchants who were made rich by her will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

and saying, 'Alas, alas, the great city that was clothed in fine linen and purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!'

'For in one hour such great wealth has been laid waste.' Every shipmaster and passenger, sailors and as many as trade on the sea, stood far off,

and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What city is like the great city?' And they cast dust on their heads and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, 'Alas, alas, the great city, wherein were made rich all who had ships at sea by reason of her wealth; for in one hour she has been made desolate.'

Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!

Then a strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, 'Thus with violence the great city Babylon will be thrown down, and will be found no more.' And the sound of harpists and musicians and flutists and trumpeters will be heard no more in you; and no craftsman of any craft will be found in you any more; and the sound of a millstone will be heard no more in you;

and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard in you no more; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain upon the earth.
