Wahyu 17:3-16
17:3 So
1 he carried me away in the Spirit
2 to a wilderness,
3 and there
4 I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
17:4 Now
5 the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet clothing,
6 and adorned with gold,
7 precious stones, and pearls. She held
8 in her hand a golden cup filled with detestable things and unclean things from her sexual immorality.
9
17:5 On
10 her forehead was written a name, a mystery:
11 “Babylon the Great, the Mother of prostitutes and of the detestable things of the earth.”
17:6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of those who testified to Jesus.
12 I
13 was greatly astounded
14 when I saw her.
17:7 But
15 the angel said to me, “Why are you astounded? I will interpret
16 for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
17:8 The beast you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up from the abyss
17 and then go to destruction. The
18 inhabitants of the earth – all those whose names have not been written in the book of life since the foundation of the world – will be astounded when they see that
19 the beast was, and is not, but is to come.
17:9 (This requires
20 a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains
21 the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:
17:10 five have fallen; one is,
22 and the other has not yet come, but whenever he does come, he must remain for only a brief time.
17:11 The
23 beast that was, and is not, is himself an eighth king and yet is one of the seven, and is going to destruction.
17:12 The
24 ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive ruling authority
25 as kings with the beast for one hour.
17:13 These kings
26 have a single intent, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
17:14 They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those accompanying
27 the Lamb are the called, chosen, and faithful.”
17:15 Then 28 the angel 29 said to me, “The waters you saw (where the prostitute is seated) are peoples, multitudes, 30 nations, and languages.
17:16 The 31 ten horns that you saw, and the beast – these will hate the prostitute and make her desolate and naked. They 32 will consume her flesh and burn her up with fire. 33
