Wasn't she married to the King of the universe at one time? Wouldn't that make her a ruler also?

If it is Jerusalem remember what is said of her in Revelation 18:7: How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Isreal NEVER has been a world power. The Mother of Harlots has been a world power. Isreal NEVER ruled over the nations NEVER!
She was conquered by Babylon and Assyria then controlled by the Medes & Persians then by the Grecian empire them by Rome. And can only exist today by our help. This theory that Jerusalem is the Mother of Harlots in Rev. 17 is absurd. WHO are the harlots pray tell????????????????
In chapter 18 she is the zenith of commerce????????????????

When you believe the false teaching of Preterism, you can twist scriptures any old kind of way to believe this old heresy that pops its ugly head up from time to time after losing all credibility among scholars. It is like a bad weed once cut down, t just keeps on sprouting back up again and again. In the last few years, once again it is sprouting up.

The truth is, the Mother of Harlots have absolutely nothing to with Jerusalem, who had already been rejected by Jesus before his death. The Harlot is the backslidden Apostolic church that eventually fell into spiritual fornication by adulterating the Word of God. Trinity is the number one and oldest product of just such harlotry or whoredom.

I was always taught that the Mother Harlot is the RCC.

I ask you these questions:
Did the kings of the earth commit fornication with Jerusalem or Rome?
Are the inhabitants of the earth drunk on thee wine of Jerusalem or Rome?
Is Jerusalem or Rome known as the scarlet color beast?
Is golden cup filled with abominations Jerusalem or Rome?
Is Jerusalem or Rome known for her purple & scarlet and jewels?
Who has the names of blasphemy Jerusalem or Rome?
MYSTERY BABYLON the GREAT which city mirrors Babylon Jerusalem or Rome?
Who is the Mother of Harlots Jerusalem or Rome?
Who martyred the saints through the ages NT times Jerusalem or Rome remember Jersualem was destroyed in 70 AD?
Who has 7 head & ten horns Jerusalem or Rome?
Who sets on the 7 mountains Jersualem or Rome?
Who was the great city who REIGNS over the kings of the earth Jerusalem or Rome?
Someone would have to have a very vivid imagination to make this Jerusalem but I am not discouraged I am sure there are plenty imaginations here.

Have no fear sir. These spiritual contortionist will have no trouble twisting scripture to make it fit their theories perfectly. Spiritual illusionist to be sure.

Sorry, I thought you said "WORLD" power, but evidently you meant "EUROPEAN" power. So with you limiting this area down, maybe Jerusalem did achieve the dominance the Bible describes?
