Revelation 17:15-18

15Then the angel said to me, “The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.

16The ten horns that you saw, and the beast – these will hate the prostitute and make her desolate and naked. They will consume her flesh and burn her up with fire.

17For God has put into their minds to carry out his purpose by making a decision to give their royal power to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled.

18As for the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.”
