Revelation 17:5
Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour. The color of royalty. And decked with gold and precious stones and pearls. Her jewels and gold indicate enormous wealth. Having a golden cup in her hand. A golden censer in the hands of an angel represents by its incense the prayers of those who belong to the true church (Revelation 8:4). This symbol of the false church has a cup full of abominations instead. See Jeremiah 51:7.
