Verse 16
The beast and his allies will eventually throw off the harlot and thoroughly destroy her. They will plunder her wealth, expose her corruption, and utterly consume her, as dogs ate Jezebel’s flesh (1 Kings 21:23-24; 2 Kings 9:30-37; cf. Psalms 27:2; Jeremiah 10:25; Micah 3:3; Zephaniah 3:3). They will completely desecrate her, as the Israelites burned the bodies of people who committed detestable fornication (cf. Leviticus 20:14; Leviticus 21:9; Joshua 7:15; Joshua 7:25). This will probably occur in the middle of the Tribulation when Antichrist breaks his covenant with Israel and demands that everyone on earth worship him or die (Daniel 9:27; Daniel 11:26-38; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 13:15). Satan’s kingdom will divide and turn against itself, the sure sign that it cannot endure (cf. Mark 3:23-26). [Note: Wilcock, p. 165.]
