Whoredom

Whoredom is relation with a whore or harlot instead of the bride. What does a harlot symbolize? Who is the Harlot of Babylon? Why is it said to ride a beast? What doest the beast represent? Who are her daughters? A bride serves out of love but a harlot does it for money. Who are the "strange women" of Proverbs?[1] Is the harlot, the strang woman? Is it a symbol of the false church? What does she look like, and what does she teach? Are they the harlots of false religion who ride the beast that goes about and devours who they will? Do we give power to the beast when we bite one another with our covetous practices?

The word whoredom is from one of 2 Hebrew words, zanuwn ZayinNunVavNun[2] from the word zanah ZayinNunHey[3] often translated whore or it is from the word taznuwth TavZayinNunVavTav used by Ezekiel[4] but from the same word zanah. It is akin to Adultery and Fornication.

  1. Proverbs 2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
    Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil:
    Proverbs 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
    Proverbs 6:24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
    Proverbs 7:5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words.
    [[Proverbs 20][:16 Take his garment that is surety [for] a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
    Proverbs 22:14 The mouth of strange women [is] a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
    Proverbs 23:27 For a whore [is] a deep ditch; and a strange woman [is] a narrow pit.
    Proverbs 23:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
