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, preciousG5093 10stonesG3037, and pearlsG3135, holdingG2192 in her handG5495 11a goldG5552 cupG4221 fullG1073 of abominationsG946 and of the uncleanG169 thingsG169 of her sexualG4202 immoralityG4202, 5and on her foreheadG3359 a nameG3686 was writtenG1125, 12a 13mysteryG3466: “14BABYLONG897 THE GREATG3173, THE MOTHERG3384 OF PROSTITUTESG4204 AND OF 15THE ABOMINATIONSG946 OF THE EARTHG1093.” 6And I sawG3708 the womanG1135 drunkG3184 with 16the bloodG129 of the 17saintsG40, and with the bloodG129 of the witnessesG3144 of JesusG2424. When I sawG3708 her, I wonderedG2296 18greatlyG2295G3173. 7And the angelG32 saidG3004 to me, “WhyG1223G5101 19do you wonderG2296? I will tellG3004 you the 20mysteryG3466 of the womanG1135 and of the beastG2342 that carriesG941 her, which hasG2192 the 21sevenG2033 headsG2776 and the tenG1176 hornsG2768.

8“22The beastG2342 that you sawG3708 23was, and is not, and isG3195 aboutG3195 toG3195 24comeG305 upG305 out of the 25abyssG12 and 2627goG5217 to destructionG684. And 28thoseG3588 who liveG2730 on the earthG1093, 29whoseG3739 namesG3686 have not been writtenG1125 in the bookG975 of lifeG2222 30from the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, will 31wonderG2296 when they seeG991 the beastG2342, that he was, and is not, and will 32comeG3918. 933HereG5602 is the mindG3563 which hasG2192 wisdomG4678. The 34sevenG2033 headsG2776 are sevenG2033 mountainsG3735 upon whichG3699 the womanG1135 sitsG2521, 10and they are sevenG2033 35kingsG935; fiveG4002 have fallenG4098, oneG1520 is, the otherG243 has not yetG3768 comeG2064; and whenG3752 he comesG2064, he mustG1163 remainG3306 a littleG3641 whileG3641. 11The beastG2342 whichG3739 36was, and is not, is himselfG846 alsoG2532 an eighthG3590 and is one of the sevenG2033, and he 37goesG5217 to destructionG684. 12The 38tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708 are tenG1176 kingsG935 whoG3748 have not yetG3768 receivedG2983 a kingdomG932, but they receiveG2983 authorityG1849 as kingsG935 with the beastG2342 39for oneG1520 hourG5610. 13TheseG3778 haveG2192 40oneG1520 41purposeG1106, and they giveG1325 their powerG1411 and authorityG1849 to the beastG2342. 14TheseG3778 will wageG4170 42warG4170 againstG3326 the LambG721, and the LambG721 will 43overcomeG3528 them becauseG3754 He is 44LordG2962 of lordsG2962 and 45KingG935 of kingsG935; and 46thoseG3588 whoG3588 are with Him are the 47calledG2822 and chosenG1588 and faithfulG4103.”

15And he saidG3004 to me, “The 48watersG5204 whichG3739 you sawG3708 whereG3757 the prostituteG4204 sitsG2521 are 49peoplesG2992 and multitudesG3793, and nationsG1484 and languagesG1100. 16And the 50tenG1176 hornsG2768 whichG3739 you sawG3708, and the beastG2342, theseG3778 will hateG3404 the prostituteG4204 and will makeG4160 her 51desolateG2049 and 52nakedG1131, and will 53eatG2068 her fleshG4561 and will 54burnG2618 her upG2618 with fireG4442.
