Whore of Babylon (theology)

The Whore of Babylon is an apocalyptic figure found in the Christian Bible and one of several incarnations of evil that plague the world during the End Days - she is depicted as a beautiful woman who is "the mother of prostitues and abominations of the world".

Often the Whore of Babylon is said to arrive on Earth riding a fabulous monster with multiple heads, carrying a golden cup full of filth and deciet - becoming drunk on the blood of martyrs and saints: although frightening and powerful she is destined to be slain by the Beast as part of the Apocalypse.
