Revelation 17:1 to Revelation 17:18
17 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 Je’-sus: 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 fulfill 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.
