33 Armageddon II Babylon

Harlotry is the word God uses to stand for a debauched worship, idolatry and false devotion. When people worship something in place of God for God or give their hearts to idols, systems, doctrines, rites or administrations that take the place of God the Scriptures call it whoredom, adultery and fornication. (See Jeremiah 3:6, 8, 9; Ezekiel 16:32; Hosea 1 & 2; Revelation 2:22) The reasons are obvious. God ordained marriage to be a pure and holy union of one man and one woman. When that is broken it is separating what God has placed together. It is a sin against Him. So too is the worship of anything that is outside of God in place of God. We are commanded to love the Lord our God with all of our hearts, souls, mind, and strength. Nothing should come between Him and us (Matthew 22:37).
