[1] One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, [2] with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality. Those who dwell on the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality.” [3] He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth. [5] And on her forehead a name was written, “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” [6] I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement. [7] The angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. [8] The beast that you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.‡ [9] Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. [10] They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while. [11] The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction. [12] The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. [13] These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. [14] These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are called, chosen, and faithful.” [15] He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. [16] The ten horns which you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute, will make her desolate, will strip her naked, will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire. [17] For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. [18] The woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth.”

Visions of Doom

[1] And G2532 there came G2064 one G1520 of G1537 the G3588 seven G2033 angels G32 which G3588 had G2192 the G3588 seven G2033 vials, G5357 and G2532 talked G2980 with G3326 me, G1700 saying G3004 unto me, G3427 Come hither; G1204 I will shew G1166 unto thee G4671 the G3588 judgment G2917 of the G3588 great G3173 whore G4204 that G3588 sitteth G2521 upon G1909 many G4183 waters: G5204 [2] with G3326 whom G3739 the G3588 kings G935 of the G3588 earth G1093 have committed fornication, G4203 and G2532 the G3588 inhabitants G2730 of the G3588 earth G1093 have been made drunk G3182 with G1537 the G3588 wine G3631 of her G846 fornication. G4202 [3] So G2532 he carried G667 me G3165 away G667 in G1722 the spirit G4151 into G1519 the wilderness: G2048 and G2532 I saw G1492 a woman G1135 sit G2521 upon G1909 a scarlet coloured G2847 beast, G2342 full of G1073 names G3686 of blasphemy, G988 having G2192 seven G2033 heads G2776 and G2532 ten G1176 horns. G2768 [4] And G2532 the G3588 woman G1135 was G2258 arrayed G4016 in purple G4209 and G2532 scarlet colour, G2847 and G2532 decked G5558§ with gold G5557 and G2532 precious G5093 stones G3037 and G2532 pearls, G3135 having G2192 a golden G5552 cup G4221 in G1722 her G846 hand G5495 full of G1073 abominations G946 and G2532 filthiness G168 of her G846 fornication: G4202 [5] and G2532 upon G1909 her G846 forehead G3359 was a name G3686 written, G1125 MYSTERY, G3466 BABYLON G897 THE G3588 GREAT, G3173 THE G3588 MOTHER G3384 OF HARLOTS G4204§ AND G2532 ABOMINATIONS G946 OF THE G3588 EARTH. G1093 [6] And G2532 I saw G1492 the G3588 woman G1135 drunken G3184 with G1537 the G3588 blood G129 of the G3588 saints, G40 and G2532 with G1537 the G3588 blood G129 of the G3588 martyrs G3144 of Jesus: G2424 and G2532 when I saw G1492 her, G846 I wondered G2296 with great G3173 admiration. G2295 [7] And G2532 the G3588 angel G32 said G2036 unto me, G3427 Wherefore G1302 didst thou marvel? G2296 I G1473 will tell G2046 thee G4671 the G3588 mystery G3466 of the G3588 woman, G1135 and G2532 of the G3588 beast G2342 that G3588 carrieth G941 her, G846 which G3588 hath G2192 the G3588 seven G2033 heads G2776 and G2532 ten G1176 horns. G2768 [8] The G3588 beast G2342 that G3739 thou sawest G1492 was, G2258 and G2532 is G2076 not; G3756 and G2532 shall G3195 ascend G305 out of G1537 the G3588 bottomless pit, G12 and G2532 go G5217 into G1519 perdition: G684 and G2532 they that G3588 dwell G2730 on G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 shall wonder, G2296 whose G3739 names G3686 were G1125 not G3756 written G1125 in G1909 the G3588 book G975 of life G2222 from G575 the foundation G2602 of the world, G2889 when they behold G991 the G3588 beast G2342 that G3739 G5100 was, G2258 and G2532 is G2076 not, G3756 and yet G2539 is. G2076 [9] And here G5602 is the G3588 mind G3563 which G3588 hath G2192 wisdom. G4678 The G3588 seven G2033 heads G2776 are G1526 seven G2033 mountains, G3735 on G1909 which G3699 the G3588 woman G1135 sitteth. G2521 G846 [10] And G2532 there are G1526 seven G2033 kings: G935 five G4002 are fallen, G4098 and G2532 one G1520 is, G2076 and the G3588 other G243 is G2064 not yet G3768 come; G2064 and G2532 when G3752 he cometh, G2064 he G846 must G1163 continue G3306 a short space. G3641 [11] And G2532 the G3588 beast G2342 that G3739 was, G2258 and G2532 is G2076 not, G3756 even G2532 he G846 is G2076 the eighth, G3590 and G2532 is G2076 of G1537 the G3588 seven, G2033 and G2532 goeth G5217 into G1519 perdition. G684 [12] And G2532 the G3588 ten G1176 horns G2768 which G3739 thou sawest G1492 are G1526 ten G1176 kings, G935 which G3748 have received G2983 no G3768 kingdom G932 as yet; G3768 but G235 receive G2983 power G1849 as G5613 kings G935 one G3391 hour G5610 with G3326 the G3588 beast. G2342 [13] These G3778 have G2192 one G3391 mind, G1106 and G2532 shall give G1239 their G1438 power G1411 and G2532 strength G1849 unto the G3588 beast. G2342 [14] These G3778 shall make war G4170 with G3326 the G3588 Lamb, G721 and G2532 the G3588 Lamb G721 shall overcome G3528 them: G846 for G3754 he is G2076 Lord G2962 of lords, G2962 and G2532 King G935 of kings: G935 and G2532 they that are G3588 with G3326 him G846 are called, G2822 and G2532 chosen, G1588 and G2532 faithful. G4103 [15] And G2532 he saith G3004 unto me, G3427 The G3588 waters G5204 which G3739 thou sawest, G1492 where G3757 the G3588 whore G4204 sitteth, G2521 are G1526 peoples, G2992 and G2532 multitudes, G3793 and G2532 nations, G1484 and G2532 tongues. G1100 [16] And G2532 the G3588 ten G1176 horns G2768 which G3739 thou sawest G1492 upon G1909 the G3588 beast, G2342 these G3778 shall hate G3404 the G3588 whore, G4204 and G2532 shall make G4160 her G846 desolate G2049 and G2532 naked, G1131 and G2532 shall eat G5315 her G846 flesh, G4561 and G2532 burn G2618 her G846 with G1722 fire. G4442 [17] For G1063 God G2316 hath put G1325 in G1519 their G846 hearts G2588 to fulfil G4160 his G846 will, G1106 and G2532 to agree, G4160 G3391 G1106 and G2532 give G1325 their G846 kingdom G932 unto the G3588 beast, G2342 until G891 the G3588 words G4487 of God G2316 shall be fulfilled. G5055 [18] And G2532 the G3588 woman G1135 which G3739 thou sawest G1492 is G2076 that G3588 great G3173 city, G4172 which G3588 reigneth G2192 G932 over G1909 the G3588 kings G935 of the G3588 earth.
