When I was 42 years old, I found my Grandmother’s Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible in a drawer in my bedroom where I had placed it for safe-keeping. For some unknown reason on that day, I began reading Revelation Chapter 17 in her Bible . . . and it was then that I began to be curious about WHO the "Great Harlot" is that the angel mentions to Apostle John in Revelation 17:1. 

From that time on I began to read numerous Bible commentaries written by both Catholic and Protestant Bible scholars, and I began to diligently study the Bible. -- After I finally came to realize the true identity of the "Great Harlot" in Revelation 17, I was SHOCKED ... just as Apostle John was shocked when he realized who the "Great Harlot" was in his vision from the angel. -- As you read this commentary on Revelation 17, I am sure that YOU will also be shocked when you learn the "Harlot's" true identity. 

BIBLE VERSIONS USED FOR COMMENTARY ON REVELATION 17

I have listed two different versions of Catholic Bible verses that I have used in my Revelation 17 Commentary. The two versions of the Bible that I have used are: 

(1) New Testament verses from the Douay- Rheims Version of the Catholic Bible (DRCB), 

(2) New Testament verses from the Tagalog Catholic Bible - Ang Dating Biblia – 1905 (TCB)... 

NOTE ... I included verses from the Tagalog Catholic Bible in my Revelation 17 Commentary because I now live and minister to Catholics in the Philippines and I want Filipinos to be able to read the Bible verses in their own language. 

EVIDENCE FOR DETERMINING TRUE IDENTITY OF THE "GREAT HARLOT

I believe the evidence (a summary of clues that I list before closing this Bible commentary on Revelation 17) is UNMISTAKEABLE in regard to the “true identity” of “Mystery Babylon the Great Harlot”. – No matter how hard you may try, I believe that you will never be able to find another entity that fits perfectly the description given by the angel to Apostle John regarding “Mystery Babylon the Great Harlot” other than the identity of the ‘Great Harlot’ revealed in this Commentary on Revelation 17.
