Lillith And Babylon

I have been reading up a lot on Jewish mythology. The figure of Lillith fascinates me. There seems to be some connection between the figure of Lillith in Jewish myth and the figure of the Harlot of Babylon in the Book of Revelation (chapters 17-18). Both are envisioned as the 'mother of abominations'. The idea that there is this feminine force of evil that incarnates itself in the political evils of nations in the world fascinates me. Some of the Lillith legends are extremely misogynistic. Others are not. Either way, the connection between the two figures is something I have been thinking a lot about. It cannot be just incidental. John the Revelator must have known of the story.
