Verse 4
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And the woman was arrayed — With the utmost pomp and magnificence.
In purple and scarlet — These were the colours of the imperial habit: the purple, in times of peace; and the scarlet, in times of war.
Having in her hand a golden cup — Like the ancient Babylon, Jeremiah 51:7.
Full of abominations — The most abominable doctrines as well as practices.
