Revelation 17
1One of the seven angels who had the seven vials came and spoke with me, "Come, I will show you the sentence given to the great whore who sits over many waters. 2She is the one with whom the kings of teh earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of teh earth have become drunk from the wine of her fornication." 3So he brought me to a deserted place in the spirit, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast. The beast was filled with blasphemous names, and he had seven heads and ten horns. 4And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She had a golden cup in her hand filled with abominations and unclean things related to her fornication. 5And upon her forhead was a name written, "Babylon the Great, the mother of whores and of the earth's abominations. 6And I saw the woman drunk on the blood of the saints and on the blood of the martyrs for Jesus.
I was very amazed when I saw her. 7And the angel asked me, "Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and the beast with seven heads and ten horns that is carrying her. 8The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise out of the abyss, and he is going to destruction. All the inhabitants of the earth, those whose names are not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will be amazed when they see the beast because he was, and is not, and will come. 9Here is a mind that has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. And they are seven kings. 10Five have fallen, one is, and another one has not yet come, and whenever he comes, he must remain for a little while. 11And the beast which was, and is not, is also an eighth, but is from the seven, and he is going to destruction. 12And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received their sovereignty, but they will receive authority as kings for an hour with the beast. 13These all have one mindset, and they give their authority to the beast. 14These will make war with the lamb, but the lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of Lords and king of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful."
15And he said to me, "The waters on which you saw the whore sitting are peoples, crowds, nationalities and languages. 16And the ten horns which you said and the beast will hate the whore, and they will make her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. 17For God put it in their hearts to accomplish his purpose and to make one purpose and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are accomplished. 18And the woman which you saw is the great city which has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.
