In chapters 15-16 we discover what the fate of those who bear the mark of the beast will be. In chapter 20 the fate of the dragon is discussed. In chapters 17-19 we see what befalls the great harlot, the beast from the sea, and the beast from the earth. These four OT examples of harlotry are all summed up in the Great Harlot of the book of Revelation. The seductive lures of power, material gain, pleasure, and false religion all seek to draw people away from God and into spiritual fornication with the world.
Worldly seduction knows no national or racial barriers, it exists among ALL peoples and nations.
This represents the seductive lure of the world in all of its many forms and in all of its destructive power. These are also the colors of excess and sinfulness. These she uses to cover her ugliness. The glitter of them she uses to lure the foolish into her grasp. Those who fail to look beyond the outer splendor, and who are attracted only to it, are led away to destruction.
