In the second place let us notice that in the _midst_ of the ephah there is seen a _woman_. She is called wickedness. The Hebrew word wickedness is translated by the Septuagint with "_anomia_". We find that the Holy Spirit uses the same word in 2 Thes. 2: 8, and then shall be revealed the wicked one (anomos) whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the Spirit of His mouth. The woman in the ephah personifies wickedness. She has surrounded herself with the ephah and sits in the midst of it. Have we not here the great whore having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication? Undoubtedly. This woman is the type of evil and wickedness in its highest form. Let us glance at that wonderful description of that woman in Revelation. She is the great whore sitting upon many waters. She sits upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. The woman is arrayed in purple and scarlet decked with gold, precious stones and pearls. Upon her forehead is seen her name, Mystery, BABYLON the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations in the earth. She is drunk with the blood of the saints. The woman in the ephah represents the same great whore, Babylon the great. This becomes at once clear when we take into consideration that the woman in the ephah is carried swiftly away and a house is built for her in the land of _Shinar_, and it shall be established, and set there upon her own _base_. Now the land of Shinar is _Babylonia_. There it is where the God-opposing power has its home and when it will end in final and total destruction.
