The two most important definitions of "archetype" for our purposes are to be found in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archetype): "1.a statement, pattern of behavior, or prototype (model) which other statements, patterns of behavior, and objects copy or emulate. (Frequently used informal synonyms for this usage include "standard example", "basic example", and the longer form "archetypal example"). 4.a constantly recurring symbol or motif in literature, painting, or mythology (this usage of the term draws from both comparative anthropology and from Jungian archetypal theory). In various seemingly unrelated cases in classic storytelling, media, etc., characters or ideas sharing similar traits recur."
The characters or figures recur again and again, in other words ... or possibly only once again.
Nostradamus was especially interested in archetypes that would prefigure the arrival of the beast of Revelation 13. He called these archetypes "antichrists": a series of male leaders, including their associated empires, regimes, and revolutions, who would more and more as time went by resemble the final fulfillment of Biblical prophecy known as the beast and his empire, and who Nostradamus called "Antichrist, the Infernal Prince" at the end of his prose prophecy found in the Epistle to Henry II.
The big problem with this is that the woman of Revelation 12 IS NOT KILLED! Instead she flees into the wilderness where there is a place prepared for her and lives there in hiding for 1,260 days (3.45 years ... not quite 3 1/2 years). While she is in hiding a war in heaven is witnessed worldwide between the Devil and his angels and Michael and his angels. At the conclusion, the Devil and his angels are cast down to earth, never again allowed to roam outer space. Once vanquished and earthbound, he sends out his agents after the woman yet again! Once more she escapes for yet another 3 1/2 years. Then he gets really serious and attacks her with a flood, but fails. He continues to war with her and her children (apparently she managed to have other children before the one caught up to Heaven) until the end of time.
That is what is wrong with the "Diana as Woman of Revelation 12 theory." She did not escape for 3 1/2 years and again for another 3 1/2 years and longer. She was fatally wounded on the spot and died a few hours later in the hospital.
So, Princess Diana could not be the woman of Revelation 12. However, in all respects but for one, she can be considered as an archetype for the woman of Revelation 12. Possibly Diana is the ONLY archetype, thus the first prototype, since as far as I know no other historical female personages prior to Diana have ever come close to being the woman of Revelation 12.

Over eleven years ago, I came to the conclusion that pop icon Madonna was an archetype of the Whore of Babylon, at least the one that appears in Revelation 17. However, whenever it seemed we were on the verge of seeing "end times" prophecy fulfilled, it became clear she might be the actual figure of prophecy.
In our "entertainment level" age, it is hardly surprising that a pop singer/actress named Madonna has played the role of our modern Whore of Babylon since at least 1993, or as early as the 1980s. However, in Revelation 18, the Whore of Babylon has always been treated as the leader of a great nation, a queen of the mightiest and wealthiest nation on the planet. This has always led me to believe that there might be two whores of Babylon. However, something has changed that view and I find that it is possible for one person to fulfill both prophecies, especially a goddess queen.
Thus, Semiramis was regarded as a head-of-state (queen) and as a goddess.
Semiramis had a number of young women serve as priestesses and has sacred prostitutes. They were accorded all the same honors and worship as the queen, engaging in ritual sex and orgies with males and females alike.
No, neither Madonna or any of the aforementioned Hollywood harlots have, as best as we can determine, dyed their lips red drinking from a chalice filled with the blood of Christians. Of course, no one knows what secretly goes on behind locked doors (see the films Hostel and Hostel 2). But again, this is the age of "entertainment" where these things can be enacted in fantasy by actresses and, in an odd twist, female pop singers. And we have seen a lot of evil intention "played out" over the last decade or so.
However, in real terms, it would not surprise me in the least if there are female members of ISIS/ISIL who have done exactly that: drink from cups the blood taken from beheaded victims.
In any event, ISIS excluded for now, I have given three examples of how three different archetypes of the Whore of Babylon have had much in common, yet have had notable differences as well.
What happens to the real Whore of Babylon when she finally arrives on the scene is quite horrific: "And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire." - Rev 17:16.
Pretty close to what happened to Semiramis.
But what will happen to our current archetype: Madonna? Or the other pop harlots who likewise pose as this figure?
Madonna has given some authority the pretext to end her life ... and it may not be the Illuminati. I have warned this day may come, and she may have hastened it:

(CNN) — Ever the provocateur, Madonna dropped a trio of f-bombs and admitted that she's "thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House" during a speech at the Women's March on Washington on Saturday.
"It took this horrific moment of darkness to wake us the f--k up," she told the crowd. "It seems as though we had all slipped into a false sense of comfort, that justice would prevail and that good would win in the end."
"Well, good did not win this election. But good will win in the end," she said.
The pop star later went into a rendition of "Human Nature" with added R-rated lyrics, including a call for Trump to perform an obscene act to himself.
Madonna, who supported Hillary Clinton during the campaign, was one of a number of celebrities on Saturday who spoke out as part of Women's Marches in cities across the world.
But of those high-profile speeches, Madonna's was particularly confrontational. She said that the march represented the beginning of a "revolution" and affirmed that "we will not back down."
"And to our detractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything: F--k you. F--k you," she said. "It is the beginning of much-needed change."
Madonna also said she was "angry" and "outraged" in the wake of Trump's inauguration.
"Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I am outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House," Madonna said. "But I know that this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair."

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, Madonna’s inauguration day statements about “blowing up the White House” have gotten the attention of the Secret Service who are known to take any threatening statement seriously until they can establish intent.
From the Post:
One US official told The Post that Madonna’s statement will have be evaluated for its seriousness. “It’s all about intent. Is she intending to do harm to the White House or President Trump? Otherwise it will be characterized as inappropriate,” the official said. “If it’s characterized as inappropriate, then there won’t be any discussions with the U.S. Attorney. If it’s determined that there’s intent on her part, then there will be discussions with the U.S. Attorney and they’ll take it from there.”
Madonna’s comments, delivered at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, were condemned by President Donald Trump’s administration, with White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus telling “Fox News Sunday”: “One of the singers said she wanted to blow up the White House. I mean, can you imagine saying that about President Obama?”
Robespierre came to a gruesome end, shot in the jaw (losing part of his chin in the process) and then beheaded on the guillotine. Napoleon withered away in exile on St. Helena. Hitler shot himself (or had someone do it for him) and then his body was burned. John F. Kennedy, who was a good man and a good leader but shared the charismatic element found in most antichrists, had part of his head and almost his entire brain blown away by an assassin. As a charismatic archetype, the manner of his death was the very same as that awaiting the true beast of Revelation who will receive a fatal head wound ... yet live. Saddam Hussein was executed by hanging, Gadhafi beaten to a pulp and shot dead, and the true father of ISIS, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was killed when the house in which he was holding a meeting was bombed. His dead body was proudly placed on public display: a warning to the current leader of ISIS, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Only a few days ago I received an angry email calling for Madonna's death which I deleted. I should add that the person who wrote it did not make a direct threat on her life ... only wished someone would do it. My point for mentioning it is that Madonna's words and actions are being taken seriously by people who would now wish her dead, perhaps unstable people who might even consider murdering her. This was all in the realm of fantasy before, speculation from Nostradamus prophecies ... but now it's starting to get real.
We need only see what happened to Kim Kardashian to know something much worse can happen to someone else as famous or more famous.
No, she will not likely end like the woman in Revelation 17 ... after all, Madonna is only an archetype. But Nostradamus has prophesied of several women who will be archetypes of the Whore of Babylon. They all come to a bad end. And one of them is likely Madonna.
There may be more than five quatrains about this figure and her archetypes; but these five are all that occur to me at the moment. If there are more, then the number of archetypes may be three, four or more.
After all, if Nostradamus is to be believed, the real end times don't arrive until sometime in the mid-2230s ... well over two hundred years from now.
