Revelation 17




      1. And there came <2064-erchomai-> one <1520-heis-> of the

seven <2033-hepta-> angels <0032-aggelos-> which <3588-ho-> had

<2192-echo-> the seven <2033-hepta-> vials <5357-phiale->, and

talked <2980-laleo-> with me, saying <3004-lego-> unto me, Come

<1204-deuro-> hither <1204-deuro->; I will shew <1166-deiknuo->

unto thee the judgment <2917-krima-> of the great <3173-megas->

whore <4204-porne-> that sitteth <2521-kathemai-> upon many

<4183-polus-> waters <5204-hudor->:




      2 With whom <3739-hos-> the kings <0935-basileus-> of the

earth <1093-ge-> have committed <4203-porneuo-> fornication

<4203-porneuo->, and the inhabitants <2730-katoikeo-> of the

earth <1093-ge-> have been made <3182-methusko-> drunk <3182-

methusko-> with the wine <3631-oinos-> of her fornication <4202-

porneia->.




      3 So <2532-kai-> he carried <0667-appohero-> me away <0667-

appohero-> in the spirit <4151-pneuma-> into <1519-eis-> the

wilderness <2048-eremos->: and I saw <1492-eido-> a woman <1135-

gune-> sit <2521-kathemai-> upon a scarlet <2847-kokkinos->

coloured beast <2342-therion->, full <1073-gemo-> of names <3686-

onoma-> of blasphemy <0988-blasphemia->, having <2192-echo->

seven <2033-hepta-> heads <2776-kephale-> and ten <1176-deka->

horns <2768-keras->.




      4 And the woman <1135-gune-> was arrayed <4016-periballo->

in purple <4209-porphura-> and scarlet <2847-kokkinos-> colour,

and decked <5558-chrusoo-> with gold <5557-chrusos-> and

precious <5093-timios-> stones <3037-lithos-> and pearls <3135-

margarites->, having <2192-echo-> a golden <5552-chruseos-> cup

<4221-poterion-> in her hand <5495-cheir-> full <1073-gemo-> of

abominations <0946-bdelugma-> and filthiness <0168-akathartes->

of her fornication <4202-porneia->:




      5 And upon her forehead <3359-metopon-> [was] a name <3686-

onoma-> written <1125-grapho->, MYSTERY <3466-musterion->,

BABYLON <0897-Babulon-> THE GREAT <3173-megas->, THE MOTHER

<3384-meter-> OF HARLOTS <4204-porne-> AND ABOMINATIONS <0946-

bdelugma-> OF THE EARTH <1093-ge->.




      6 And I saw <1492-eido-> the woman <1135-gune-> drunken

<3184-methuo-> with the blood <0129-haima-> of the saints <0040-

hagios->, and with the blood <0129-haima-> of the martyrs <3144-

martus-> of Jesus <2424-Iesous->: and when I saw <1492-eido->

her, I wondered <1839-existemi-> with great <3173-megas->

admiration <2295-thauma->.




      7. And the angel <0032-aggelos-> said <2036-epo-> unto me,

Wherefore <1302-diati-> didst thou marvel <2296-thaumazo->? I

will tell <2046-ereo-> thee the mystery <3466-musterion-> of the

woman <1135-gune->, and of the beast <2342-therion-> that

carrieth <0941-bastazo-> her, which <3588-ho-> hath <2192-echo->

the seven <2033-hepta-> heads <2776-kephale-> and ten <1176-deka-

> horns <2768-keras->.




      8 The beast <2342-therion-> that thou sawest <1492-eido->

was, and is not; and shall ascend <0305-anabaino-> out of the

bottomless <0012-abussos-> pit, and go <5217-hupago-> into <1519-

eis-> perdition <0684-apoleia->: and they that dwell <2730-

katoikeo-> on <1909-epi-> the earth <1093-ge-> shall wonder

<2296-thaumazo->, whose <3739-hos-> names <3686-onoma-> were not

written <1125-grapho-> in the book <0976-biblos-> of life <2222-

zoe-> from the foundation <2602-katabole-> of the world <2889-

kosmos->, when they behold <0991-blepo-> the beast <2342-therion-

> that was, and is not, and yet <2539-kaiper-> is.




      9 And here <5602-hode-> [is] the mind <3563-nous-> which

<3588-ho-> hath <2192-echo-> wisdom <4678-sophia->. The seven

<2033-hepta-> heads <2776-kephale-> are seven <2033-hepta->

mountains <3735-oros->, on <1909-epi-> which <0846-autos-> the

woman <1135-gune-> sitteth <2521-kathemai->.




      10 And there are seven <2033-hepta-> kings <0935-basileus-

>: five <4002-pente-> are fallen <4098-pipto->, and one <1520-

heis-> is, [and] the other <0243-allos-> is not yet <3768-oupo->

come <2064-erchomai->; and when <3752-hotan-> he cometh <2064-

erchomai->, he must <1163-dei-> continue <3306-meno-> a short

<3641-oligos-> space.




      11 And the beast <2342-therion-> that was, and is not,

even <2532-kai-> he is the eighth <3590-ogdoos->, and is of the

seven <2033-hepta->, and goeth <5217-hupago-> into <1519-eis->

perdition <0684-apoleia->.




      12 And the ten <1176-deka-> horns <2768-keras-> which

<3739-hos-> thou sawest <1492-eido-> are ten <1176-deka-> kings

<0935-basileus->, which <3748-hostis-> have received <2983-

lambano-> no <3768-oupo-> kingdom <0932-basileia-> as yet <3768-

oupo->; but receive <2983-lambano-> power <1849-exousia-> as

kings <0935-basileus-> one <3391-mia-> hour <5610-hora-> with

the beast <2342-therion->.




      13 These <3778-houtos-> have <2192-echo-> one <3391-mia->

mind <1106-gnome->, and shall give <1239-diadidomai-> their

power <1411-dunamis-> and strength <1849-exousia-> unto the

beast <2342-therion->.




      14. These <3778-houtos-> shall make <4170-polemeo-> war

<4170-polemeo-> with the Lamb <0721-arnion->, and the Lamb <0721-

arnion-> shall overcome <3528-nikao-> them: for he is Lord <2962-

kurios-> of lords <2962-kurios->, and King <0935-basileus-> of

kings <0935-basileus->: and they that are with him [are] called

<2822-kletos->, and chosen <1588-eklektos->, and faithful <4103-

pistos->.




      15 And he saith <3004-lego-> unto me, The waters <5204-

hudor-> which <3739-hos-> thou sawest <1492-eido->, where <3757-

hou-> the whore <4204-porne-> sitteth <2521-kathemai->, are

peoples <2992-laos->, and multitudes <3793-ochlos->, and nations

<1484-ethnos->, and tongues <1100-glossa->.




      16 And the ten <1176-deka-> horns <2768-keras-> which

<3739-hos-> thou sawest <1492-eido-> upon the beast <2342-

therion->, these <3778-houtos-> shall hate <3404-miseo-> the

whore <4204-porne->, and shall make <4160-poieo-> her desolate

<2049-eremoo-> and naked <1131-gumnos->, and shall eat <5315-

phago-> her flesh <4561-sarx->, and burn <2618-katakaio-> her

with fire <4442-pur->.




      17 For God <2316-theos-> hath put <1325-didomi-> in their

hearts <2588-kardia-> to fulfil <4160-poieo-> his will <1106-

gnome->, and to agree <4160-poieo->, and give <1325-didomi->

their kingdom <0932-basileia-> unto the beast <2342-therion->,

until <0891-achri-> the words <4487-rhema-> of God <2316-theos->

shall be fulfilled <5055-teleo->.




      18 And the woman <1135-gune-> which <3739-hos-> thou

sawest <1492-eido-> is that great <3173-megas-> city <4172-polis-

>, which <3588-ho-> reigneth <0932-basileia-> over <1909-epi->

the kings <0935-basileus-> of the earth <1093-ge->.
