What does it mean that the 'great whore' is the 'mother of harlots'?

Answered in 1 source

It means she is the source of all false worship and idolatry in the world.

The title 'mother of harlots' indicates that this figure serves as the origin of all false religions and spiritual fornications. She embodies idolatry and leads others into corrupt practices that prevent them from worshiping God in truth. The passage from Revelation suggests that wherever she resides, moral decay and corruption follow. The essence of her influence is found in her ability to captivate many, pulling them into the traps of self-reliance and error, thus creating progeny in the form of various denominations and beliefs that deviate from the true gospel of grace. Hence, acknowledging this identity is critical for believers to discern and flee from her influences.
