Overview
Whoredom encompasses sexual immorality and idolatry—turning away from God's design for sexuality and covenant faithfulness. Throughout Scripture, whoredom symbolizes Israel's unfaithfulness to God and serves as a metaphor for spiritual apostasy. The consequences are spiritual death and judgment.
Key Scriptures
Revelation 17:1-2 (ESV) - "Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute...the inhabitants of the earth have become drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality."
Leviticus 19:29 (NASB) - "Do not profane your daughter by making her a harlot, so that the land will not fall to harlotry and the land become full of lewdness."
Judges 2:17 (NIV) - "Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshiped them."
Application
Believers must guard their hearts and bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, maintaining sexual purity and undivided spiritual allegiance to Christ alone.
