Rev is 100% about America without a doubt!
I'm sorry, "the whore" isn't America or the statue of liberty. It's most likely the Vatican/Roman Catholic church. "The Two Babylons" by Hislop is one of the best books on this topic. I'd also highly recommend Chuck Missler's video series on Revelation. It's the best I've seen on the topic by far.
The reason I think it is America is that
"The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth" There is only one place That describes a whore sitting in water. I understand how you could think it's where the queen site but then the next wouldn't really make sense.
"are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues" America is the only melting pot nation on earth where there are a great many nationals and languages.
To the Jews, "The waters" meant the gentile world and people surrounding the Mediterranean. It was a common idiom. I think this explains your second quote as well.
I see, so do you believe that we should not interpret revelations as if they were written for us (the people of today), for the people near the end times to read and understand? but instead, written for the ancient Jews to understand well before anything like this would pass?
