The Vision of Babylon the Great

17Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I will show you how the notorious prostitute who sits on many waters will be judged.G2532G2064G1520G1537G2033G32G3588G2192G2033G5357G2532G2980G3326G1700G3004G3427G1204G1166G4671G2917G3173G4204G2521G1909G4183G5204
2The kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and those living on earth became drunk with the wine of her immorality."G3326G3739G935G1093G4203G2532G2730G1093G3184G1537G3631G846G4202
3Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was controlled by blasphemy. It had seven heads and ten horns.G2532G667G3165G667G1722G4151G1519G2048G2532G1492G1135G2521G1909G2847G2342G1073G3686G988G2192G2033G2776G2532G1176G2768
4The woman wore purple and scarlet clothes and was adorned with gold, gems, and pearls. In her hand she was holding a gold cup filled with detestable things and the impurities of her immorality.G2532G1135G2258G4016G4209G2532G2847G2532G5558G5557G2532G5093G3037G2532G3135G2192G5552G4221G1722G846G5495G1073G946G2532G168G846G4202
5On her forehead was written a secret name: Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and Detestable Things of the EarthG2532G1909G846G3359G3686G1125G3466G897G3173G3384G4204G2532G946G1093
6I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. I was very surprised when I saw her.G2532G1492G1135G3184G1537G129G40G2532G1537G129G3144G2424G2532G1492G846G2296G3173G2295
7"Why are you surprised?" The angel asked me. "I will tell you the secret of the woman and the beast with the seven heads and the ten horns that carries her.G2532G32G2036G3427G1302G2296G1473G2046G4671G3466G1135G2532G2342G941G846G3588G2192G2033G2776G2532G1176G2768
8The beast that you saw existed once, but is no longer, and is going to crawl out of the bottomless pit and then proceed to its destruction. Those living on earth, whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, will be surprised when they see the beast because it was, is no longer, and will come again.G2342G3739G1492G2258G2532G2076G3756G2532G3195G305G1537G12G2532G5217G1519G684G2532G2730G1909G1093G2296G3739G3686G1125G3756G1125G1909G975G2222G575G2602G2889G991G2342G3748G2258G2532G2076G3756G2539G2076
9This calls for a mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is sitting. They are also seven kings.G5602G3563G3588G2192G4678G2033G2776G1526G2033G3735G1909G846G1135G2521G3699
10Five of them have fallen, one is living, and the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must remain in power for a little while.G2532G1526G2033G935G4002G4098G2532G1520G2076G243G2064G3768G2064G2532G3752G2064G846G1163G3306G3641
11The beast that was and is no longer is the eighth king, but it belongs with the seven kings and goes to its destruction.G2532G2342G3739G2258G2532G2076G3756G2532G846G2076G3590G2532G2076G1537G2033G2532G5217G1519G684
12The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom. They will receive authority to rule as kings with the beast for one hour.G2532G1176G2768G3739G1492G1526G1176G935G3748G2983G3768G932G3768G235G2983G1849G5613G935G3391G5610G3326G2342
13They have one purpose: to give their power and authority to the beast.G3778G2192G3391G1106G2532G1239G1438G1411G2532G1849G2342
14They will wage war against the lamb, but the lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are called, chosen, and faithful are with him."7G3778G4170G3326G721G2532G721G3528G846G3754G2076G2962G2962G2532G935G935G2532G3326G846G2822G2532G1588G2532G4103
15The angel also said to me, "The bodies of water you saw, on which the prostitute is sitting, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.G2532G3004G3427G5204G3739G1492G3757G4204G2521G1526G2992G2532G3793G2532G1484G2532G1100
16The ten horns and the beast you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her abandoned and naked. They will eat her flesh and burn her up with fire,G2532G1176G2768G3739G1492G1909G2342G3778G3404G4204G2532G4160G846G2049G2532G1131G2532G5315G846G4561G2532G2618G846G1722G4442
17for God has placed within them a desire to carry out his purpose by uniting to give their kingdom to the beast until God's words are fulfilled.G1063G2316G1325G1519G846G2588G4160G846G1106G2532G4160G3391G1106G2532G1325G846G932G2342G891G4487G2316G5055
18The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."17G2532G1135G3739G1492G2076G3173G4172G3588G2192G932G1909G935G1093
