The most commonly accepted interpretation of this verse is that the Woman is the Roman Catholic Church and the Beast is the Roman Empire. The beast has seven heads, which relates to the seven hills of Rome. There are even statues of the woman with the cup that the masons placed in some of the early Roman Cathedrals to indicate this relationship.

Most commonly accepted by whom? Any statistics on that?
Not by the Roman Catholics surely?
What is your source for this "commonly accepted interpretation?"
It identifies "Babylon the Great" (Revelation 17-18) with the ancient pagan City of Rome or Jerusalem.
Whore of Babylon (Revelation chapter 17) with the Roman Catholic Church, the Papal system and each successive Pope himself

As most of you have probably heard Revelation 17 states and I quote:
"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
Is it possible that this woman could be Hillary Clinton sitting upon a scarlet colored beast being the United States?
A quick Google search brought up theories that point in the direction of the beast being either Europe or the EU. I myself have always thought it to be a woman president of the US. This was before Hillary's bid to run.

Babalon

I want to thank you guys very much for specifying some information to read.

What exactly does this have to do with the bible, after all members of Thelema are not Jewish, and are not Christian, so what would they possibly know about the subject?
Thank you very much, but be very cautious about the whole Thelema, OTO, and ritual magic stuff if you are a Christian.
That way leads to that dark side according to Christian theology, no offence intended.
Isaiah 45:3-7
[color=#000000]And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call by thy name, the God of Israel.
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
I the LORD, and none else, no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that none beside me. I the LORD, and none else.
[color=#000000]I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil:I the LORD do all these.
The two theologies are diametrically opposed.
To members of Thelema its:
"Do as thou will…."
To Christians its:
"Do onto others as you would do unto yourself…"
They are about as opposite as positive and negative.
Just curious queenannie38, why does your avatar have a cross on?
Revelation 12:1-2
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
