Hi Fisherman, nice that you are at least interested in the Bible and the Revelation book and try to understand this and thanks Godlyman for bringing up this subject.
It seems that your basis for determining that someone is ‘interested’ in the subject is actually that they insist it has some supernatural meaning.

Is it possible that Covid, which affected the entire world economy, is punishment from God against the Harlot? I have been pondering over this for quite some time.

And… you’re still wrong. Not even plausible.

🤦♂️ It didn’t happen because their religious superstitions were unfounded. As are yours.

Fisherman:
For example, the image in Daniel refers to all political empires.
Wrong. The image in Daniel represents Babylon, Persia, Greece (Macedonia) and the competing Ptolemaic and Seleucid dynasties up until Antiochus IV.

🙄 The 'Bible Students' in 1919 had no concept of a 'world empire of false religion'. The term is nonsense invented by the Watch Tower Society in 1963. Jehovah's Witnesses is just another nutty Adventist denomination, and they spout various things that are not mentioned in the Bible. For example:
Pretty much all of their teachings relating to the 'end times' are not only wrong but also in the wrong order compared to what the Bible actually says.
As such, they are just one more of the 'false religions' that they denounce.

Fisherman:
Rome was also one of the kings of the earth and like the other kings had sex with this woman. This is obvious.
Gotta love JW 'logic'. A 'woman' that is acknowledged to be metaphorical (and which is explicitly identified as a city with a kingdom over other kings matching Rome's relationship to its client kingdoms) 'must' 'literally' be 'having sex' with 'all the kings' which 'obviously includes Rome' (though the passage doesn't say 'all' nor does it specify Rome as one of the kings). 🤦♂️But when the Bible directly states, in a passage that Christians consider to be literal that Jesus will be above "all things" (Colossians 1:16-17), JWs feel the need to insert the word "other", which does not appear in the original text. What a joke. 🤣
