(18) And the woman which thou sawest . . .--Read, And the woman whom thou sawest is (not "that," but) the great city, which has a kingdom over the kings of the earth. With these words the angel's explanation of "the mystery of the woman" (see Revelation 17:7) ends. The harlot is a city; the Babylon of the past lives again in Rome; the woman is Rome, the goddess of lands and peoples." "She who was named Eternal, and arrayed Her warriors but to conquer--she Who veiled Earth with her haughty shadow and displayed Until the o'er canopied horizon failed Her rushing wings--Oh! she who was Almighty hailed." Verse 18. - And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. A repetition of the assertion made in ver. 5, viz. that the harlot and Babylon are identical (see on ver. 5). Many writers have been led by this verse to believe that Rome, either pagan or papal, is thus pointed out as the antitype of the harlot. That this is one fulfilment of the vision need hardly be doubted. Rome was in St. John's time the foremost embodiment of the hostile forces of the world. But this is not the whole fulfilment, which is in all time (see above, especially on ver. 1 of this chapter).
