Revelation 17
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had
the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me,
Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of
the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed
fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have
been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having
seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet
colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and
pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou
marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and
shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into
perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of
life from the foundation of the world, when they
behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven
heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and
one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he
cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the
eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into
perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive
power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power
and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and
King of kings: and they that are with him are called,
and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou
sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and
multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 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.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his
will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the
beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great
city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
