Who is the woman?

Journal Prompt:  The Lord told the Israelites that if they went to Egypt they would be a curse?  How are we a curse when we go where God would not have us go?

Answers:

Jeremiah  41:  Ishmael killed Gedaliah and seventy of the eighty men from Shiloh who had come to mourn at the house of the Lord.  Johanan came to rescue the people from Ishmael.

Jeremiah 42 The rescued remnant was advised to stay in the land of Judah and God would protect them. They were not to go to Egypt or they would die by the sword, famine, and pestilence  The people were hypocrites, because they wanted Jeremiah’s blessing from God but they were determined to go to Egypt.

Revelation 17: The woman sits on the beast of Revelation 13:1, the Antichrist. The seven heads represent seven kingdoms or empires that have and will come into power. The woman is a global system ruling and controlling all people on earth.
