CHAPTER 17
:1 And there came <G 2064> one <G 1520> of the seven <G 2033>
angels <G 0032>
which <G 3588> had <G 2192> the seven <G 2033> vials <G 5357>,
and talked <G
2980> with me, saying <G 3004> unto me, Come <G 1204> hither <G
1204>; I will
shew <G 1166> unto thee the judgment <G 2917> of the great <G
3173> whore <G
4204> that sitteth <G 2521> upon many <G 4183> waters <G 5204>:
:2 With whom <G 3739> the kings <G 0935> of the earth <G 1093>
have committed
<G 4203> fornication <G 4203>, and the inhabitants <G 2730> of
the earth <G
1093> have been made <G 3182> drunk <G 3182> with the wine <G
3631> of her
fornication <G 4202>.
:3 So <G 2532> he carried <G 0667> me away <G 0667> in the
spirit <G 4151> into
<G 1519> the wilderness <G 2048>: and I saw <G 1492> a woman <G
1135> sit <G
2521> upon a scarlet <G 2847> coloured beast <G 2342>, full <G
1073> of names <G
3686> of blasphemy <G 0988>, having <G 2192> seven <G 2033>
heads <G 2776> and
ten <G 1176> horns <G 2768>.
:4 And the woman <G 1135> was arrayed <G 4016> in purple <G
4209> and scarlet
<G 2847> colour, and decked <G 5558> with gold <G 5557> and
precious <G 5093>
stones <G 3037> and pearls <G 3135>, having <G 2192> a golden <G
5552> cup <G
4221> in her hand <G 5495> full <G 1073> of abominations <G
0946> and filthiness
<G 0168> of her fornication <G 4202>:
:5 And upon her forehead <G 3359> [was] a name <G 3686> written
<G 1125>,
MYSTERY <G 3466>, BABYLON <G 0897> THE GREAT <G 3173>, THE
MOTHER <G 3384> OF
HARLOTS <G 4204> AND ABOMINATIONS <G 0946> OF THE EARTH <G 1093>.
:6 And I saw <G 1492> the woman <G 1135> drunken <G 3184> with
the blood <G
0129> of the saints <G 0040>, and with the blood <G 0129> of the
martyrs <G
3144> of Jesus <G 2424>: and when I saw <G 1492> her, I wondered
<G 1839> with
great <G 3173> admiration <G 2295>.
:7 And the angel <G 0032> said <G 2036> unto me, Wherefore <G
1302> didst thou
marvel <G 2296>? I will tell <G 2046> thee the mystery <G 3466>
of the woman <G
1135>, and of the beast <G 2342> that carrieth <G 0941> her,
which <G 3588> hath
<G 2192> the seven <G 2033> heads <G 2776> and ten <G 1176>
horns <G 2768>.
:8 The beast <G 2342> that thou sawest <G 1492> was, and is not;
and shall
ascend <G 0305> out of the bottomless <G 0012> pit, and go <G
5217> into <G
1519> perdition <G 0684>: and they that dwell <G 2730> on <G
1909> the earth <G
1093> shall wonder <G 2296>, whose <G 3739> names <G 3686> were
not written <G
1125> in the book <G 0976> of life <G 2222> from the foundation
<G 2602> of the
world <G 2889>, when they behold <G 0991> the beast <G 2342>
that was, and is
not, and yet <G 2539> is.
:9 And here <G 5602> [is] the mind <G 3563> which <G 3588> hath
<G 2192> wisdom
<G 4678>. The seven <G 2033> heads <G 2776> are seven <G 2033>
mountains <G
3735>, on <G 1909> which <G 0846> the woman <G 1135> sitteth <G
2521>.
:10 And there are seven <G 2033> kings <G 0935>: five <G 4002>
are fallen <G
4098>, and one <G 1520> is, [and] the other <G 0243> is not yet
<G 3768> come <G
2064>; and when <G 3752> he cometh <G 2064>, he must <G 1163>
continue <G 3306>
a short <G 3641> space.
:11 And the beast <G 2342> that was, and is not, even <G 2532>
he is the eighth
<G 3590>, and is of the seven <G 2033>, and goeth <G 5217> into
<G 1519>
perdition <G 0684>.
:12 And the ten <G 1176> horns <G 2768> which <G 3739> thou
sawest <G 1492> are
ten <G 1176> kings <G 0935>, which <G 3748> have received <G
2983> no <G 3768>
kingdom <G 0932> as yet <G 3768>; but receive <G 2983> power <G
1849> as kings
<G 0935> one <G 3391> hour <G 5610> with the beast <G 2342>.
:13 These <G 3778> have <G 2192> one <G 3391> mind <G 1106>,
and shall give <G
1239> their power <G 1411> and strength <G 1849> unto the beast
<G 2342>.
:14 These <G 3778> shall make <G 4170> war <G 4170> with the
Lamb <G 0721>, and
the Lamb <G 0721> shall overcome <G 3528> them: for he is Lord
<G 2962> of lords
<G 2962>, and King <G 0935> of kings <G 0935>: and they that are
with him [are]
called <G 2822>, and chosen <G 1588>, and faithful <G 4103>.
:15 And he saith <G 3004> unto me, The waters <G 5204> which <G
3739> thou
sawest <G 1492>, where <G 3757> the whore <G 4204> sitteth <G
2521>, are peoples
<G 2992>, and multitudes <G 3793>, and nations <G 1484>, and
tongues <G 1100>.
:16 And the ten <G 1176> horns <G 2768> which <G 3739> thou
sawest <G 1492>
upon the beast <G 2342>, these <G 3778> shall hate <G 3404> the
whore <G 4204>,
and shall make <G 4160> her desolate <G 2049> and naked <G 1131>,
and shall eat
<G 5315> her flesh <G 4561>, and burn <G 2618> her with fire <G
4442>.
:17 For God <G 2316> hath put <G 1325> in their hearts <G 2588>
to fulfil <G
4160> his will <G 1106>, and to agree <G 4160>, and give <G
1325> their kingdom
<G 0932> unto the beast <G 2342>, until <G 0891> the words <G
4487> of God <G
2316> shall be fulfilled <G 5055>.
:18 And the woman <G 1135> which <G 3739> thou sawest <G 1492>
