Apocalipsis 17:2 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 17:2

With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,
&c.] These are the ten kings, who being of the same mind, and of one religion, the Popish religion, gave their power, strength, and kingdom to the beast, ( Revelation 17:12 Revelation 17:17 ) and have been enticed by the whore of Rome to commit spiritual fornication with her; that is, idolatry, to worship, as that church enjoins, idols of gold, silver, brass, and wood, the images of the virgin Mary, and other saints; hence this whore appears to be no mean strumpet, but one of great note, and in much vogue, being sought after and made use of by the great men of the earth;

and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine
of her fornication;
that is, the inhabitants of the Roman empire, or earthly minded men, mere carnal persons, have been drawn into idolatrous practices by the allurements of the church of Rome; such as riches, honours, pleasures, lying miracles, and great pretensions to devotion and religion; whereby they have been intoxicated as men with wine, and have been filled with a blind zeal for that church, and the false doctrines and worship of it, and with madness and fury against the true professors of religion.

Apocalipsis 17:2 In-Context

1 Y vino uno de los siete 谩ngeles que ten铆an las siete copas, y habl贸 conmigo, dici茅ndome: Ven, y te mostrar茅 la condenaci贸n de la gran ramera, la cual est谩 sentada sobre muchas aguas;
2 con la cual han fornicado los reyes de la tierra, y los que moran en la tierra se han embriagado con el vino de su fornicaci贸n.
3 Y me llev贸 en el esp铆ritu al desierto; y vi una mujer sentada sobre una bestia de color de grana, que estaba llena de nombres de blasfemia y que ten铆a siete cabezas y diez cuernos.
4 Y la mujer estaba vestida de p煤rpura y de grana, y dorada con oro, y adornada de piedras preciosas y de perlas, teniendo un c谩liz de oro en su mano lleno de abominaciones y de la suciedad de su fornicaci贸n;
5 y en su frente un nombre escrito: MISTERIO, BABILONIA LA GRANDE, MADRE DE LAS RAMERAS Y DE LAS ABOMINACIONES DE LA TIERRA.
