17:1 Then
one
of
the
seven
angels
who
had
the
seven
bowls
came
and
said
to
me,
"Come,
I
will
show
you
the
judgment
of
the
great
prostitute
who
is
seated
on
many
waters,
17:2 with
whom
the
kings
of
the
earth
have
committed
sexual
immorality,
and
with
the
wine
of
whose
sexual
immorality
the
dwellers
on
earth
have
become
drunk."
17:3 And
he
carried
me
away
in
the
Spirit
into
a
wilderness,
and
I
saw
a
woman
sitting
on
a
scarlet
beast
that
was
full
of
blasphemous
names,
and
it
had
seven
heads
and
ten
horns.
17:4 The
woman
was
arrayed
in
purple
and
scarlet,
and
adorned
with
gold
and
jewels
and
pearls,
holding
in
her
hand
a
golden
cup
full
of
abominations
and
the
impurities
of
her
sexual
immorality.
17:5 And
on
her
forehead
was
written
a
name
of
mystery:
"Babylon
the
great,
mother
of
prostitutes
and
of
earth's
abominations."
17:6 And
I
saw
the
woman,
drunk
with
the
blood
of
the
saints,
the
blood
of
the
martyrs
of
Jesus.
When
I
saw
her,
I
marveled
greatly.
17:7 But
the
angel
said
to
me,
"Why
do
you
marvel
I
will
tell
you
the
mystery
of
the
woman,
and
of
the
beast
with
seven
heads
and
ten
horns
that
carries
her.
17:8 The
beast
that
you
saw
was,
and
is
not,
and
is
about
to
rise
from
the
bottomless
pit
and
go
to
destruction.
And
the
dwellers
on
earth
whose
names
have
not
been
written
in
the
book
of
life
from
the
foundation
of
the
world
will
marvel
to
see
the
beast,
because
it
was
and
is
not
and
is
to
come.
17:9 This
calls
for
a
mind
with
wisdom:
the
seven
heads
are
seven
mountains
on
which
the
woman
is
seated;
17:10 they
are
also
seven
kings,
five
of
whom
have
fallen,
one
is,
the
other
has
not
yet
come,
and
when
he
does
come
he
must
remain
only
a
little
while.
17:11 As
for
the
beast
that
was
and
is
not,
it
is
an
eighth
but
it
belongs
to
the
seven,
and
it
goes
to
destruction.
17:12 And
the
ten
horns
that
you
saw
are
ten
kings
who
have
not
yet
received
royal
power,
but
they
are
to
receive
authority
as
kings
for
one
hour,
together
with
the
beast.
17:13 These
are
of
one
mind,
and
they
hand
over
their
power
and
authority
to
the
beast.
17:14 They
will
make
war
on
the
Lamb,
and
the
Lamb
will
conquer
them,
for
he
is
Lord
of
lords
and
King
of
kings,
and
those
with
him
are
called
and
chosen
and
faithful."
17:15 And
the
angel
said
to
me,
"The
waters
that
you
saw,
where
the
prostitute
is
seated,
are
peoples
and
multitudes
and
nations
and
languages.
17:16 And
the
ten
horns
that
you
saw,
they
and
the
beast
will
hate
the
prostitute.
They
will
make
her
desolate
and
naked,
and
devour
her
flesh
and
burn
her
up
with
fire,
17:17 for
God
has
put
it
into
their
hearts
to
carry
out
his
purpose
by
being
of
one
mind
and
handing
over
their
royal
power
to
the
beast,
until
the
words
of
God
are
fulfilled.
17:18 And
the
woman
that
you
saw
is
the
great
city
that
has
dominion
over
the
kings
of
the
earth."
