Revelation 17:3
He carried me away in the spirit into a wilderness. It is not
explained why she is seen in a wilderness. Perhaps the thought is that
her development was in obscurity and almost unnoticed until she had
reached supreme power.
I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet-coloured beast. Supported by
this beast. In chapter 13 I have discussed at length the meaning of
this beast and of its seven heads. See notes on Revelation 13:1-10.
And ten horns. The significance of these will be considered
under Revelation 17:12.
