Revelation 17:5-9
5AndG2532 onG1909 herG846 foreheadG3359 a mysteriousG3466 nameG3686 was writtenG1125:
BABYLONG897 THEG3588 GREATG3173,
THEG3588 MOTHERG3384 OF PROSTITUTESG4204
ANDG2532 OF THEG3588 ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THEG3588 EARTHG1093.
I could see thatG3708 theG3588 womanG1135 was drunkG3184 withG1537 theG3588 bloodG129 of theG3588 saintsG40 andG2532 witnessesG3144 for JesusG2424. AndG2532 I was utterly amazedG2296G3173G2295 at the sightG3708 of herG846.
7“WhyG1223G5101 are you so amazedG2296?” saidG2036 theG3588 angelG32. “IG1473 will tellG2046 youG4771 theG3588 mysteryG3466 of theG3588 womanG1135 andG2532 of theG3588 beastG2342 thatG3588 carriesG941 herG846, whichG3588 hasG2192 theG3588 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768.
8TheG3588 beastG2342 thatG3739 you sawG3708—it wasG1510, andG2532 now isG1510 no moreG3756, but is aboutG3195 to come upG305 out ofG1537 theG3588 AbyssG12 andG2532 goG5217 toG1519 its destructionG684. AndG2532 those whoG3588 dwellG2730 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 whoseG3739 namesG3686 were not writtenG3756G1125 inG1909 theG3588 BookG975 of LifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889 will marvelG2296 when they seeG991 theG3588 beastG2342 thatG3754 wasG1510, andG2532 isG1510 notG3756, and yetG2532 will beG3918.
9This calls forG5602 a mindG3563 withG2192 wisdomG4678. TheG3588 sevenG2033 headsG2776 areG1510 sevenG2033 mountainsG3735 onG1909 whichG3699 theG3588 womanG1135 sitsG2521.
