The Mystery Woman

Who is the Mystery Woman of Revelation 17?

In this study, we examine one of the most striking prophetic symbols in the Bible — the woman called:

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH (Revelation 17:5).

Scripture does not leave this mystery unexplained. By comparing scripture with scripture, we uncover:

• The meaning of her fourfold title

• The significance of her purple and scarlet array

• The symbolism of the golden cup in her hand

• The identity of the many waters she sits upon

• The connection to the scarlet beast

• The prophetic importance of the seven mountains

• The historical relevance of the “mother church” designation

This lesson continues our series on The Mysteries of Scripture, showing how God exposes religious deception through His Word and reveals the difference between the mystery of godliness and the mystery of iniquity.

📖 Text: Revelation 17:1–9
