1
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:
2
With
whom
the
kings
of
the
earth
have
committed
fornication,
and
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
have
been
made
drunk
with
the
wine
of
her
fornication.
3
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.
4
And
the
woman
was
arrayed
in
purple
and
scarlet
colour,
and
decked
with
gold
and
precious
stones
and
pearls,
having
a
golden
cup
in
her
hand
full
of
abominations
and
filthiness
of
her
fornication:
5
And
upon
her
forehead
[was]
a
name
written,
MYSTERY,
BABYLON
THE
GREAT,
THE
MOTHER
OF
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
unto
me,
Wherefore
didst
thou
marvel?
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
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
space.
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,
which
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
unto
the
beast.
14
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]
called,
and
chosen,
and
faithful.
15
And
he
saith
unto
me,
The
waters
which
thou
sawest,
where
the
whore
sitteth,
are
peoples,
and
multitudes,
and
nations,
and
tongues.
16
And
the
ten
horns
which
thou
sawest
upon
the
beast,
these
shall
hate
the
whore,
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
fulfil
his
will,
and
to
agree,
and
give
their
kingdom
unto
the
beast,
until
the
words
of
God
shall
be
fulfilled.
18
And
the
woman
which
thou
sawest
is
that
great
city,
which
reigneth
over
the
kings
of
the
earth.
