Who is the whore destroyed by the ten kings in Revelation 17:16 ?
Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
THe whore is no one else but the unfaithful New Testament congregation of Israel, the church. The 10 kings had no rule (of the church) as yet (when this book was written), but God prophesies that they will reign for one hour (a little season) with the beast near the end of the world. Not 70AD, Not 500AD, Not Rome, Not RCC, Not Papacy, not third temple...and...not your one-man false prophet! LOL.
This is just before the second advent. These kings who reign through Satan hate the whore (which is a figure of the unfaithful church), and they will burn and destroy it. Their unfaithfulness and abominations will ultimately leave her desolate. Just as Christ said it did the Old Testament Jerusalem.
So it specifically deals with the time of the end when evil rises and the church will be made apostate by false prophets and christs.
