The Doom of Babylon

1

 aTheng2532 oneg1520 of the  bseveng2033 angelsg32a who hadg2192 the  cseveng2033 bowlsg5357 cameg2064 and spokeg2980 with me, sayingg3004, "Comeg1204 hereg1204, I will showg1166 you  dthe judgmentg2917 of the  egreatg3173 harlotg4204 who  fsitsg2521 on manyg4183 watersg5204,

2

with whomg3739  athe kingsg935 of the earthg1093 committedg4203 acts of immoralityg4203, and  bthoseg3588 who dwellg2730 on the earthg1093 were  cmadeg3184 drunkg3184 with the wineg3631 of her immoralityg4202."

3

And  ahe carriedg667 me awayg667  1 bin the Spiritg4151  cinto a wildernessg2048; and I sawg3708 a womang1135 sittingg2521 on a  dscarletg2847 beastg2342, fullg1073 of  eblasphemousg988 namesg3686, havingg2192  fseveng2033 headsg2776 and teng1176 hornsg2768.

4

The womang1135  awas clothedg4016 in purpleg4210 and scarletg2847, and  1adornedg5558 with goldg5553 and preciousg5093  2stonesg3037 and pearlsg3135, havingg2192 in her handg5495  ba goldg5552 cupg4221 fullg1073 of abominationsg946 and of the uncleang169 thingsg169 of her immoralityg4202,

5

and on her foreheadg3359 a nameg3686 was writteng1125, a  amysteryg3466, " bBABYLONg897 THE GREATg3173, THE MOTHERg3384 OF HARLOTSg4204 AND OF  cTHE ABOMINATIONSg946 OF THE EARTHg1093."

6

And I sawg3708 the womang1135 drunkg3184 with  athe bloodg129 of the  1saintsg40, and with the bloodg129 of the witnessesg3144 of Jesusg2424. When I sawg3708 her, I wonderedg2296  2greatlyg2295g3173.

7

And the angelg32a saidg3004 to me, "Whyg1223g5101  1do you wonderg2296? I will tellg3004 you the  amysteryg3466 of the womang1135 and of the beastg2342 that carriesg941 her, which hasg2192 the  bseveng2033 headsg2776 and the teng1176 hornsg2768.

8

aThe beastg2342 that you sawg3708  bwas, and is not, and is aboutg3195 to  ccomeg305 up out of the  dabyssg12 and  1 egog5217 to destructiong684. And  fthoseg3588 who dwellg2730 on the earthg1093,  gwhoseg3739 nameg3686 has not been writteng1125 in the bookg975 of lifeg2222  hfrom the foundationg2602 of the worldg2889, will  iwonderg2296 when they seeg991 the beastg2342, that he was and is not and will comeg3918b.

9

aHereg5602 is the mindg3563 which hasg2192 wisdomg4678. The  bseveng2033 headsg2776 are seveng2033 mountainsg3735 on whichg3699 the womang1135 sitsg2521,

10

and they are seveng2033  akingsg935; fiveg4002 have falleng4098, oneg1520 is, the otherg243 has not yetg3768 comeg2064; and wheng3752 he comesg2064, he mustg1163 remaing3306 a littleg3641 whileg3641.

11

"The beastg2342 whichg3739  awas and is not, is himselfg846 alsog2532 an eighthg3590 and is one of the seveng2033, and he  bgoesg5217 to destructiong684.

12

"The  ateng1176 hornsg2768 whichg3739 you sawg3708 are teng1176 kingsg935 whog3748 have not yetg3768 receivedg2983 a kingdomg932, but they receiveg2983 authorityg1849 as kingsg935 with the beastg2342  bfor oneg1520 hourg5610.

13

"Theseg3778 haveg2192  aoneg1520  1purposeg1106, and they giveg1325 their powerg1411 and authorityg1849 to the beastg2342.

Victory for the Lamb

14

"Theseg3778 will wageg4170  awarg4170 againstg3326 the Lambg721b, and the Lambg721b will  bovercomeg3528 them, becauseg3754 He is  cLordg2962 of lordsg2962 and  cKingg935 of kingsg935, and  dthoseg3588 whog3588 are with Him are the  ecalledg2822 and choseng1588 and faithfulg4103."

15

And he *saidg3004 to me, "The  awatersg5204 whichg3739 you sawg3708 whereg3757 the harlotg4204 sitsg2521, are  bpeoplesg2992 and multitudesg3793 and nationsg1484 and tonguesg1100.

16

"And the  ateng1176 hornsg2768 whichg3739 you sawg3708, and the beastg2342, theseg3778 will hateg3404 the harlotg4204 and will makeg4160 her  bdesolateg2049 and  cnakedg1131, and will  deatg2068 her fleshg4561 and will  eburng2618 her up with fireg4442.

17

"For  aGodg2316 has putg1325 it in their heartsg2588 to executeg4160 His  1purposeg1106  2by  bhavingg4160 a commong1520 purposeg1106, and by givingg1325 their kingdomg932 to the beastg2342, untilg891 the  cwordsg3056 of Godg2316 will be fulfilledg5055.

18

"The womang1135 whomg3739 you sawg3708 is  athe greatg3173 cityg4172, which  1reignsg2192g932 overg1909 the kingsg935 of the earthg1093."
