📚 Historical Context
The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John during the first century AD, amid severe persecution of Christians under the Roman Empire, which was known for its idolatry and oppressive rule. In this verse, the seven heads of the beast are described as seven mountains, likely referring to the seven hills of Rome, the empire's capital, where the woman symbolizes a corrupt power like Babylon. This imagery drew from Old Testament prophecies to warn believers about the dangers of worldly empires that oppose God's kingdom.
