* And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials , came and spoke with me , saying , Come , and I will show you the judgment of the great harlot , that sits upon many waters : * with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication , and all the inhabitants of the earth have been drunk with the wine of her whoredom . * And he brought me , in the spirit into the wilderness : and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast , full of slanderous names , having seven heads and ten horns . * And the woman was clothed with purple , and scarlet , and adorned with gold , and precious stones , and pearls ; having a golden cup in her hand , full of the abominations and pollution of her whoredom . * And she had upon her forehead her name written , MYSTERY , BABYLON THE GREAT , THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS , AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH . * And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints , and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus : and when I saw her , I wondered with great amazement . * And the angel said to me , Why do you wonder ? I will tell you the secret of the woman , and of the beast which carries her , which has the seven heads and the ten horns . * The beast which you saw , was , and is not ; and he will ascend out of the bottomless pit , and go to destruction ; and the inhabitants of the earth (whose names are not written in the book of life , from the foundation of the world ) shall wonder , seeing the beast who was , and is not , yet shall be . * Here is the mind that has wisdom . The seven heads are seven mountains , on which the woman sits . * And they are seven kings : five are fallen , and one is , and the other is not yet come ; and when he comes , he must endure for a little time . * And the beast that was , and is not , he is the eighth , and is of the seven , but goes to destruction . * And the ten horns which you saw , are ten kings , which have not yet received their kingdom , but they shall receive authority with the beast , as kings at the same time . * These have one mind , and shall deliver their own power and authority to the beast . * These shall make war with the Lamb ; and the Lamb shall overcome them : for he is the Lord of lords , and King of kings ; and those that are with him , are called , and chosen , and faithful . * And he said to me , The waters which you saw , on which the harlot sat , are people , and multitudes , and nations , and tongues . * And the ten horns which you saw on the beast , these shall hate the harlot , and make her desolate and naked ; and they shall eat her flesh , and shall burn her with fire . * For God has given it into the hearts to execute his sentence , even to perform one purpose ; and to give their kingdoms to the beast , till the words of God be fulfilled . * And the woman which you saw , is the great city , that rules over the kings of the earth .
