Revelation 17:9-18

91HereG5602 is the mindG3563 which hasG2192 wisdomG4678. The 2sevenG2033 headsG2776 are sevenG2033 mountainsG3735 on whichG3699 the womanG1135 sitsG2521, 10and they are sevenG2033 3kingsG935; fiveG4002 have fallenG4098, oneG1520 is, the otherG243 has not yetG3768 comeG2064; and whenG3752 he comesG2064, he mustG1163 remainG3306 a littleG3641 whileG3641. 11The beastG2342 whichG3739 4was and is not, is himselfG846 alsoG2532 an eighthG3590 and is one of the sevenG2033, and he 5goesG5217 to destructionG684. 12The 6tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708 are tenG1176 kingsG935 whoG3748 have not yetG3768 receivedG2983 a kingdomG932, but they receiveG2983 authorityG1849 as kingsG935 with the beastG2342 7for oneG1520 hourG5610. 13TheseG3778 haveG2192 8oneG1520 9purposeG1106, and they giveG1325 their powerG1411 and authorityG1849 to the beastG2342. 14TheseG3778 will wageG4170 10warG4170 againstG3326 the LambG721, and the LambG721 will 11overcomeG3528 them, becauseG3754 He is 12LordG2962 of lordsG2962 and 13KingG935 of kingsG935, and 14thoseG3588 whoG3588 are with Him are the 15calledG2822 and chosenG1588 and faithfulG4103.”

15And he saidG3004 to me, “The 16watersG5204 whichG3739 you sawG3708 whereG3757 the harlotG4204 sitsG2521, are 17peoplesG2992 and multitudesG3793 and nationsG1484 and tonguesG1100. 16And the 18tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708, and the beastG2342, theseG3778 will hateG3404 the harlotG4204 and will makeG4160 her 19desolateG2049 and 20nakedG1131, and will 21eatG2068 her fleshG4561 and will 22burnG2618 her up with fireG4442. 17For 23GodG2316 has putG1325 it in their heartsG2588 to executeG4160 His 24purposeG1106 25by 26havingG4160 a commonG1520 purposeG1106, and by givingG1325 their kingdomG932 to the beastG2342, untilG891 the 27wordsG3056 of GodG2316 will be fulfilledG5055. 18The womanG1135 whomG3739 you sawG3708 is 28the greatG3173 cityG4172, which 29reignsG2192G932 overG1909 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093.”
