CHAP. XVII.
3, 4 A woman arrayed in purple and scarlet,
with a golden cup in her hand, sitteth upon
the beast, 5 which is great Babylon the mother
of all abominations. 9 The interpretation
of the seven heads, 12 and the ten horns. 14
The victory of the Lamb. 16 The punishment
of the harlot.
1 And there came one of the seven angels
who had the seven vials, and
talked with me, saying to me, Come
hither; I will show to thee the judgment
of the great harlot that sitteth upon many
waters;
2 With whom the kings of the earth
have committed lewd deeds, and the inhabitants
of the earth have been made
drunk with the wine of her lewdness.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit
into the wilderness: and I saw a woman
sit upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of
names of blasphemy, having seven heads
and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple
and scarlet-color, and note decked with
gold and precious stone and pearls, having
a golden cup in her hand full of
abominations and filthiness of her lewdness:
5 And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF note HARLOTS,
AND ABOMINATIONS OF
THE EARTH.
6 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.
7 And the angel said to me, Why
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 ten horns.
8 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.
9 And here is the mind which hath
wisdom, The seven heads are seven
mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 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 time.
11 And the beast that was, and is not,
even he is the eighth, and is of the seven,
and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest
are ten kings, who have received no
kingdom as yet; but receive power as
kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall
give their power and strength to the
beast.
14 These will make war with the
-- --
A. D. 96.
Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome
them: note for he is Lord of lords, and
King of kings; and they that are with
him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith to me, The waters
which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth,
are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,
and languages.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest
upon the beast, these shall hate the
harlot, and shall make her desolate and
naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn
her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to
fulfill his will, and to agree, and give
their kingdom to the beast, until the
words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman whom thou sawest
is that great city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth.
