What does the Bible say about the 'mother of harlots' in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

The 'mother of harlots' represents false religion and spiritual fornication against God.

In Revelation 17, the 'mother of harlots' symbolizes false religion, which lures people away from the true gospel of God's grace. This figure is depicted as a woman sitting upon a beast, dressed in luxurious colors and materials, which signifies the allure of false worship. The text specifically refers to her as the embodiment of idolatry and all abominations of spiritual fornication, warning believers of the dangers of misleading doctrines that deviate from the sovereign grace of God in Christ. True worship is rooted in the righteousness of God, while what is often called worship in such false religions is viewed as fornication by God himself.
