let's see if you are holding to Biblical teachings or are still floundering to make your view fit
you'll ignore this, as always, but it's always great to go to scripture anyways.
let's see how much of this is allegorical and a nebulous world church harlot where Jesus was mystically crucified in the mystical non-city-world thing. or whatever.
only have time for a few.....the rest later.
then you can openly deny they say what they say, and push your gutter doctrine - calling what God said gutter doctrine.
JERUSALEM was the Harlot and the King of Daniel 11 was Herod.
Rev 17:5-6 KJV
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Isa 1:21 KJV
How is the faithful city become a harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Mat 12:39 KJV
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jona
.....
oh...hold on.

regarding isaiah 1:21...the prophet called jerusalem a harlot around 800 BC...this does not prove that every reference to harlotry in scripture refers to jerusalem... harlotry in scripture stands for pagan idolatry as can be seen from numerous other passages...pagan idolatry was not even one of jerusalem's primary sins in AD 70...and many other cities were far more guilty of pagan idolatry...in fact most of the world was more idolatrous than jerusalem at that point...
regarding matthew 12:39...jesus says that an evil and adulterous -generation- asks for a sign...nothing is said about a -city- being adulterous... the generation being adulterous would again make it clear that this description is not specific to jerusalem...
