Revelation 17:15

Verse 15

The angel next helped John understand the identity of the waters (Revelation 17:1). Water is a common symbol for people in the Old Testament (e.g., Psalms 18:4; Psalms 18:16; Psalms 124:4; Isaiah 8:7; Jeremiah 47:2). The harlot exercises a controlling influence over the population of the world, both the faithful (cf. Revelation 5:9; Revelation 7:9) and the rebellious (cf. Revelation 10:11; Revelation 11:9; Revelation 13:7; Revelation 14:6). There will be one religious system that will encompass all nations and peoples during the Tribulation (cf. Revelation 17:1-2), though there could be various local forms of it.
