upon
many waters ;

to
me, “
Come, I will show you
the punishment
of the great prostitute,
who
sits
on
many waters .
with
whom
the kings of the earth committed
fornication
, and they
that
dwell in
the earth were made
drunken
with the wine of her fornication

with
her
, and those
who
dwell on
the earth were intoxicated
with the wine of her immorality
. ”

And the
angel
carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness ,
where

even
the unclean
things
of her fornication,

and upon
her forehead a name written ,
MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE
HARLOTS
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
And on
her forehead a mysterious
name was
written :
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
And
I saw
the woman drunken
with the blood of the saints ,
and with
the
blood
of
the
martyrs
of
Jesus. And when
I saw
her ,
I
wondered
with
a
great
wonder
.
I could
see
that
the woman was
drunk
with the blood of the saints and witnesses
for
Jesus. And I was
utterly
amazed
at
the
sight
of
her.
And
the angel said
unto
me,
Wherefore
didst
thou
wonder?
I will tell thee
the mystery of the woman ,
and of the beast that carrieth
her, which hath
the seven heads and the
ten horns.
“Why
are
you
so
amazed?”
said
the angel .
“
I will tell you
the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries
her, which has
the seven heads and ten horns.
The beast that thou
sawest
was, and is not;
and
is about to come up out of the abyss ,
and to
go into
perdition
. And they
that
dwell on the earth shall
wonder,
`they'
whose name
hath
not been
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world ,
when they behold
the beast ,
how
that he
was, and is not, and shall
come
.
The beast that you
saw—it
was, and now
is no
more,
but
is about to come up out of the Abyss and go to
its
destruction
. And those
who
dwell on the earth whose names
were
not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will
marvel
when they see
the beast that was, and is not, and yet
will
be
.
Here
is
the
mind that
hath
wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains ,
on which the woman sitteth:
This
calls
for
a
mind with
wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
and
they
are seven kings ;
the
five are
fallen, the
one is, the other is
not yet come; and
when he cometh
, he must continue
a little while.
There
are also
seven kings .
Five have
fallen, one is, and
the other has
not yet come; but
when he does
come
, he must remain
for
only
a little while.
And
the beast that was, and is not, is himself
also
an eighth, and
is
of
the seven ;
and he
goeth
into perdition
.
The beast that was, and now
is not, is an eighth king
, who
belongs
to
the other
seven and is
going
into destruction
.
And
the ten horns that
thou
sawest
are ten kings ,
who have received no
kingdom as
yet;
but they
receive authority as kings, with the beast ,
for
one
hour
.
The ten horns you
saw
are ten kings who have not
yet
received a
kingdom ,
but will
receive one
hour
of
authority as kings, along
with the beast.
These have one mind,
and
they
give
their power and authority unto
the beast.
These kings
have one purpose:
to
yield
their power and authority to
the beast.
These
shall
war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome
them, for
he is Lord of lords ,
and King of kings; and they
`also
shall
overcome'
that
are
with
him,
called and chosen and faithful.
They
will
make
war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will
triumph
over
them, because
He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He
will
be
accompanied
by
His
called and chosen and faithful ones
. ”
And
he
saith
unto
me, The waters which
thou
sawest
, where the harlot
sitteth
, are peoples ,
and multitudes ,
and nations ,
and tongues.
Then
the
angel
said
to
me, “
The waters you
saw
, where the prostitute
was
seated
, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
And the ten horns which
thou
sawest,
and the beast ,
these
shall
hate the harlot,
and
shall
make
her desolate and naked, and shall
eat her flesh ,
and shall
burn her utterly
with fire.
And the ten horns and the beast that
you
saw
will
hate the prostitute.
They
will
leave
her desolate and naked, and will
eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
For God did
put in
their hearts to do
his mind,
and
to
come
to
one
mind,
and
to give their kingdom unto
the beast, until the words of God should
be
accomplished
.
For God has
put it
into
their hearts to carry
out
His purpose
by
uniting
to give their kingdom to
the beast, until the words of God are
fulfilled
.
And the woman whom
thou
sawest
is the great city ,
which
reigneth
over the kings of the earth.
And the woman you
saw
is the great city that
rules
over the kings of the earth. ”
