    1Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters.'

    2With her, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.

    3Then he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

    4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her immorality.

    5On her forehead was written a name: 'Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth.'

    6I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I was utterly amazed.

    7Then the angel said to me, 'Why are you amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.'

    8The beast you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from the abyss and go to destruction. Those who dwell on the earth, whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will marvel when they see the beast, because it was, is not, and yet is.

    9This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.

    10They are also seven kings: five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. When he does come, he must remain for only a short time.

    11The beast that was, and is not, is an eighth, but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction.

    12The ten horns you saw are ten kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but they will receive authority as kings for one hour along with the beast.

    13These kings have one purpose, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.

    14They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.

    16The ten horns you saw, and the beast, will hate the prostitute. They will leave her desolate and naked, devour her flesh, and burn her with fire.

    18And the woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.
