The Symbols of Kingdoms and Religious Powers in Bible Prophecy
The 'pure woman', the 'scarlet woman', the 'talking horn', the 'little horn' (when growing vertically), the 'sea beast' with '10' horns, and the two types of 'clays' are religious in nature.1 The King of the North = apostate Christians (those who renounce God's law) and 'Christian' nations. An imposter of the true King of the North (Is 14:13).

1The Roman Catholic Church was declared the state religion, compelling matters of conscience.2Jesus described the tribulation of the saints in Matt 24:21,29; Mark 13:19-20,24-25.3Napoleon had General Berthier arrest Pope Pius VI on 2/20/1798.4In Biblical time prophecy, 1 day = 1 year. Jewish years had 360 days (Num 14:34; Eze 4:6).

2nd Woe
2The dual application of Dan 12:11-12 is consistent with Matt 24 signs of the fall of Jerusalem and Jesus' return.
The 3 'Woes' are Trumpets 5, 6, and 7 in Rev 8:13-9:21; 11:15-18 and reference the 3 conflicts between Christianity and Islam.
