King James Version
And there came one of the seven messengers,
who
were
having
the seven vials, and he
spake
with me, saying to
me, `
Come ,
I will shew to
thee the judgment of the great whore ,
who
is
sitting
upon the
many waters ,
And there came one of the seven angels
which
had
the seven vials, and talked
with me, saying unto
me, Come hither;
I will shew unto
thee the judgment of the great whore that
sitteth
upon many waters :
with whom the kings of the earth did
commit
whoredom;
and made drunk from
the wine of her whoredom
were
those
inhabiting
the
earth;'
With whom the kings of the earth have
committed
fornication,
and the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
have
been
made drunk with
the wine of her fornication.
and
he carried me away to
a
wilderness
in the Spirit ,
and I saw a woman sitting
upon a scarlet -
coloured beast, full of names of evil-speaking
, having seven heads and ten horns ,
So
he carried me away in the spirit into
the
wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit
upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy
, having seven heads and ten horns .
and the woman was arrayed with
purple and scarlet -
colour, and gilded
with gold ,
and precious stone,
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness
of her whoredom,
And the woman was arrayed in
purple and scarlet colour, and decked
with gold and precious stones
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness
of her fornication:
and upon her forehead was a name written :
`Secret
, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the
Whores,
and the
Abominations of the earth. '
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
And I saw the woman drunken from
the blood of the saints, and from
the blood of the witnesses
of Jesus ,
and I did
wonder
--
having
seen
her --
with great wonder;
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 great admiration.
and the messenger
said to
me, `
Wherefore didst thou wonder
? I --
I
will tell thee the secret
of the woman and of the beast that `is'
carrying
her, which hath the seven heads and the
ten horns.
And the angel
said unto
me, Wherefore didst thou marvel
? I will tell thee the mystery
of the woman ,
and of the beast that carrieth
her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
`
The beast that thou didst
see:
it
was, and it
is not; and it
is
about
to
come
up
out of the abyss
, and to
go away
to
destruction,
and wonder
shall
those
dwelling
upon
the earth, whose names have
not been
written upon
the scroll
of the
life from the foundation of the world, beholding
the beast that was, and is not, although
it
is.
The beast that thou sawest
was, and is not; and shall
ascend
out of the bottomless
pit
, and go into
perdition:
and they
that
dwell
on
the earth shall
wonder
, whose names were
not written in
the book
of life from the foundation of the world, when
they
behold
the beast that was, and is not, and
yet
is.
`
Here `
is '
the mind that
is
having
wisdom ;
the seven heads are seven mountains, upon
which the woman doth
sit,
And
here is the mind which
hath
wisdom .
The seven heads are seven mountains, on
which the woman sitteth.
and there are seven kings ,
the
five did
fall
, and the
one is, the other did
not yet come ,
and when he may
come
, it
behoveth
him
to
remain
a little
time;
And there are seven kings :
five are
fallen
, and one is, and
the other is
not yet come ;
and when he cometh
, he
must
continue
a short
space.
and the beast that was, and is not, he also
is eighth, and out
of the seven he
is
, and to
destruction
he
doth
go
away
.
And the beast that was, and is not, even
he is the
eighth, and is
of the seven, and goeth
into
perdition
.
`
And the ten horns that
thou sawest ,
are ten kings, who
a
kingdom did
not
yet receive,
but authority
as kings the
same
hour do
receive
with the beast ,
And the ten horns which
thou sawest are ten kings, which
have
received
no
kingdom as
yet ;
but receive
power
as kings one
hour with the beast .
these have one mind, and their own
power and authority
to
the beast they
shall
give
over;
These have one mind, and shall
give
their power and strength
unto
the beast .
these with
the
Lamb
shall make war, and the Lamb shall overcome them ,
because
Lord of lords he
is
, and King of kings ,
and those
with him are called, and choice
, and stedfast
. '
These shall make war with
the
Lamb
, and the Lamb shall overcome them :
for
he
is
Lord of lords, and King of kings :
and they
that
are
with him are called, and chosen
, and faithful
.
And he saith to
me, `
The waters that
thou didst
see
, where the whore doth
sit
, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues ;'
And he saith unto
me, The waters which
thou sawest
, where the whore sitteth
, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues .
and the ten horns that
thou didst
see
upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall
burn her in
fire ,
And the ten horns which
thou sawest
upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with
fire .
for God did
give
into
their hearts to do
its
mind
, and to make
one
mind
, and to
give their kingdom to
the beast till
the sayings
of God may
be complete,
For God hath
put
in
their hearts to fulfil
his
will
, and to agree
, and give their kingdom unto
the beast ,
until
the words
of God shall
be fulfilled.
and the woman that
thou didst
see
is the
great city that
is
having
reign
over the kings of the land
. '
And the woman which
thou sawest
is that
great city ,
which
reigneth
over the kings of the earth
.
