Torah sentences the priest's daughter who plays the whore to be burnt with fire (Lev 21:9), and Jezebel is thrown down by her own eunuchs (2 Kgs 9:33). Ezekiel says Yahuah will gather the harlot's lovers, "they shall strip thee also of thy clothes... and burn thine houses with fire" (Ezek 16:39, 41). Revelation follows that script: lawlessness consumes itself, and the lovers become the executioners, which the book ties to 1789-1870. "Elohim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will" (Rev 17:17) is sovereignty, not manipulation; "the king's heart is in the hand of Yahuah" (Prov 21:1), as Assyria was the rod of His anger (Isa 10:5). The burning of chapter 18 is the same event.
