Diverse discussion in revelation

[Thinkingstuff]

I was just reviewing the book quickly and came across several thoughts. The woman imaged in Revelation 12 I gather must be the city of Jerusalem. I come to this conclusion by trying to put together like imagry in the book and assume that similar type imagery have the same meaning. So with regard to the woman in Rev 12

1A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

quickly looking elsewhere in the same book I came accross this

6I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.

When I saw her, I was greatly astonished. 7Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns... The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."

So the first woman with the 12 stars depicting the 12 tribes of Israel and specifically (maybe) a reference to its connection with Zion. And the other woman same imagery probably same type vehicle of expression for the same object a City. One is obviously Rome (of ancient roman empire not modern referrence). Therefore I think the prior is Jerusalem. Any thoughts? From the discription given of the foul woman it seems this prophesy has already been fulfilled

9"This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the woman sits. 10They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. 11The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

12"The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. 13They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. 14They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."

15Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. 16The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.

which has been accurately completed by the Visagoths and the Ostragoths. Rome was thuroughly sacked and plundered and burned. They did have authority over other nations and now have none.

Also I wonder about the lake of fire and the relationship between it and hades.
