Revelation 17:3-16

3And 1he carriedG667 me awayG667 23in the SpiritG4151 4into a wildernessG2048; and I sawG3708 a womanG1135 sittingG2521 on a 5scarletG2847 beastG2342, fullG1073 of 6blasphemousG988 namesG3686, havingG2192 7sevenG2033 headsG2776 and tenG1176 hornsG2768. 4The womanG1135 8was clothedG4016 in purpleG4210 and scarletG2847, and 9adornedG5558 with goldG5553 and preciousG5093 10stonesG3037 and pearlsG3135, havingG2192 in her handG5495 11a goldG5552 cupG4221 fullG1073 of abominationsG946 and of the uncleanG169 thingsG169 of her immoralityG4202, 5and on her foreheadG3359 a nameG3686 was writtenG1125, a 12mysteryG3466, “13BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF HARLOTSG4204 AND OF 14THE ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093.” 6And I sawG3708 the womanG1135 drunkG3184 with 15the bloodG129 of the 16saintsG40, and with the bloodG129 of the witnessesG3144 of JesusG2424. When I sawG3708 her, I wonderedG2296 17greatlyG2295G3173. 7And the angelG32 saidG3004 to me, “WhyG1223G5101 18do you wonderG2296? I will tellG3004 you the 19mysteryG3466 of the womanG1135 and of the beastG2342 that carriesG941 her, which hasG2192 the 20sevenG2033 headsG2776 and the tenG1176 hornsG2768.

8“21The beastG2342 that you sawG3708 22was, and is not, and is aboutG3195 to 23comeG305 up out of the 24abyssG12 and 2526goG5217 to destructionG684. And 27thoseG3588 who dwellG2730 on the earthG1093, 28whoseG3739 nameG3686 has not been writtenG1125 in the bookG975 of lifeG2222 29from the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, will 30wonderG2296 when they seeG991 the beastG2342, that he was and is not and will comeG3918. 931HereG5602 is the mindG3563 which hasG2192 wisdomG4678. The 32sevenG2033 headsG2776 are sevenG2033 mountainsG3735 on whichG3699 the womanG1135 sitsG2521, 10and they are sevenG2033 33kingsG935; fiveG4002 have fallenG4098, oneG1520 is, the otherG243 has not yetG3768 comeG2064; and whenG3752 he comesG2064, he mustG1163 remainG3306 a littleG3641 whileG3641. 11The beastG2342 whichG3739 34was and is not, is himselfG846 alsoG2532 an eighthG3590 and is one of the sevenG2033, and he 35goesG5217 to destructionG684. 12The 36tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708 are tenG1176 kingsG935 whoG3748 have not yetG3768 receivedG2983 a kingdomG932, but they receiveG2983 authorityG1849 as kingsG935 with the beastG2342 37for oneG1520 hourG5610. 13TheseG3778 haveG2192 38oneG1520 39purposeG1106, and they giveG1325 their powerG1411 and authorityG1849 to the beastG2342. 14TheseG3778 will wageG4170 40warG4170 againstG3326 the LambG721, and the LambG721 will 41overcomeG3528 them, becauseG3754 He is 42LordG2962 of lordsG2962 and 43KingG935 of kingsG935, and 44thoseG3588 whoG3588 are with Him are the 45calledG2822 and chosenG1588 and faithfulG4103.”

15And he saidG3004 to me, “The 46watersG5204 whichG3739 you sawG3708 whereG3757 the harlotG4204 sitsG2521, are 47peoplesG2992 and multitudesG3793 and nationsG1484 and tonguesG1100. 16And the 48tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708, and the beastG2342, theseG3778 will hateG3404 the harlotG4204 and will makeG4160 her 49desolateG2049 and 50nakedG1131, and will 51eatG2068 her fleshG4561 and will 52burnG2618 her up with fireG4442.
