REVELATION CHAPTER 17 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= have= committed= fornication= the= inhabitants= of= the= earth= have= been= made= drunk= with= the= wine= of= her= fornication=. 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= in= purple= and= scarlet= colour= decked= with= gold= and= precious= stones= and= pearls=, having= a= golden= cup= in= her= hand= full= of= abominations= and= filthiness=<2CO7 -:1> of= her= fornication=: And= upon= her= forehead= [was= name= written=, MYSTERY=, BABYLON= THE= GREAT=, THE= MOTHER= OF= HARLOTS= AND= 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= great= admiration=. And= the= angel= said= unto= me=, Wherefore= didst= thou= marvel= 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= sawest= was=, and= is= not=; and= shall= ascend out= of= the= bottomless= pit= 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=. And= here= [is=] the= mind= which= hath= wisdom=. The= seven= heads= are= seven= mountains=, on= which= the= woman= sitteth=. 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= is= not=, even= he= is= the= eighth=, and= is= of= the= seven=, and= goeth= into= perdition=. And= the= ten= horns= which= thou= sawest= are= ten= kings= have= received= no= kingdom= as= yet=; but= receive= power= as= kings= one= hour= with= the= beast=. These= have= one= mind=, and= shall= give= their= power= and= strength= unto= the= beast=. 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=, and= chosen=, and= faithful=. And= he= saith= unto= me= waters= which= thou= sawest= the= whore= sitteth=, are= peoples=, and= multitudes=, and= nations=, and= tongues=. And= the= ten= horns= which= thou= sawest= upon= the= beast= shall= hate= the= whore= shall= make= her= desolate= and= naked=, and= shall= eat= her= flesh=, and= burn= her= with= fire=. For= God= hath= put= in= their= hearts= to= fulfil= his= will=, and= to= agree=, and= give= their= kingdom= unto= the= beast= the= words= of= God= shall= be= fulfilled=. And= the= woman= which= thou= sawest= is= that= great= city= reigneth= over= the= kings= of= the= earth=. ~~~~~~
