“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:”
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, jewels and pearls; she held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries - Babylon is clothed in luxury and majesty, the outward splendor concealing her spiritual corruption. The golden cup, like the cup offered to Christ in Gethsemane, is full of poison.
