Well I do have a pre-trib rapture view of the end times, so I do believe true Christians escape all this.
I think anything Revelation though always makes an interesting topic.
So would you say the harlot is the world system in the end of ends?
I believe in a Post-tribulation coming of our Lord Jesus and gathering of His Church. I'm non-denominational, but my ancestors (on Dad's side) were French huguenots (first French Protestants) that escaped Catholic persecution in 17th century France and came to the Americas.)
The "one world government" by the globalists today is what the Revelation 13:1-2 first beast of ten horns, seven mountains, and ten crowns is about for the end of this world. I am a very... strong believer in that as revealed by our Lord Jesus.
The actual 'harlot' of Rev.17 we are told is a "great city". That means it's not a pope. And I showed enough Scripture from God's Word to show that "great city" is about Jerusalem, and not Rome. Could a deceived pope and members of the Catholic Church still be involved in that for the end, being deceived? Yes. But that Babylon harlot is still not the Catholic Church nor a pope, nor Rome.
Our Lord Jesus' Book of Revelation is the bookend of God's Word, and contains direct links to events written in Genesis about the beginning. One of the main events in all of God's Word is about Satan's original rebellion in wanting to be The GOD, and worshiped as GOD. I fail to understand why so many brethren cannot see that the events written for the end with the coming Antichrist to Jerusalem is a repeat of that very event of old.
So I really don't waste a bunch of time discussing men's doctrines. I get right to the point in God's Word as written. Thing is, not that many can handle God's Word 'straight up'. I've asked my Heavenly Father about this in the past many times, and He has shone me some things about it, but I guess we will all know more when our Lord Jesus returns.
