| description | The symbol of Babylon has been interpreted with a common worldview in mind, the Great Mother concept. Although this concept comes from Neolithic times, its written sources appeared in Sumerian literature. Thisarticle considers some Sumerian myths of the goddess Inanna/Ishtar in the evaluation of Revelation 17. In the comparison of Inanna/Ishtar myths with Revelation 17, the analysis demonstrates that perhaps Johnechoes the Great Mother concept and some Inanna/Ishtar characteristics ironically. John presents the mistaken belief that the religiopolitical union would bring peace and prosperity to the nation and, unlike those ancient myths, the beast/kings will resurrect to die forever. |

Cortés, Maicol Revelation 17, Inanna/Ishtar, the beast, the harlot, the Great Mother concept, Sumerian myths Apocalipsis 17, Inanna/Ishtar, la bestia, la ramera, el concepto de la Gran Madre, mitos sumerios The symbol of Babylon has been interpreted with a common worldview in mind, the Great Mother concept. Although this concept comes from Neolithic times, its written sources appeared in Sumerian literature. Thisarticle considers some Sumerian myths of the goddess Inanna/Ishtar in the evaluation of Revelation 17. In the comparison of Inanna/Ishtar myths with Revelation 17, the analysis demonstrates that perhaps Johnechoes the Great Mother concept and some Inanna/Ishtar characteristics ironically. John presents the mistaken belief that the religiopolitical union would bring peace and prosperity to the nation and, unlike those ancient myths, the beast/kings will resurrect to die forever. El símbolo de Babilonia ha sido interpretado con una cosmovisión común en mente, el concepto de la Gran Madre. Aunque este concepto proviene de tiempos neolíticos, sus raíces se hallan en la literatura sumeria. Este artículo considera algunos mitos sumerios de la diosa Inanna/Ishtar en la evaluación de Apocalipsis 17. El estudio comparativo entre estos mitos y Apocalipsis 17 demuestra que quizás Juan se hace eco de manera irónica del concepto de la Gran Madre y de algunas características de la diosa Inanna/Ishtar. Juan presenta la creencia errónea de que la unión entre la religión y la política traería paz y prosperidad a la nación y que, a diferencia de estos antiguos mitos, la bestia/reyes resucitarán para morir por la eternidad.
