The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 17
{17:1} One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and
spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the
great prostitute who sits on many waters, {17:2} with whom the kings
of the [1>]eretz[<1] committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell
in the [2>]eretz[<2] were made drunken with the wine of her sexual
immorality." {17:3} He carried me away in the Spirit into a
wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of
blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. {17:4} The woman
was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious
stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of
abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the
[3>]eretz[<3]. {17:5} And on her forehead a name was written,
"MYSTERY, BAVEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE
ABOMINATIONS OF THE [4>]ERETZ[<4]." {17:6} I saw the woman drunken
with the blood of the holy ones, and with the blood of the martyrs of
Yeshua. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement. {17:7} The
angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of
the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven
heads and the ten horns. {17:8} The beast that you saw was, and is
not; and is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go into
destruction. Those who dwell on the [5>]eretz[<5] will wonder, whose
name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of
the world, when they see that the beast was, and is not, and will pe
present. {17:9} Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are
seven mountains, on which the woman sits. {17:10} They are seven
kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When
he comes, he must continue a little while. {17:11} The beast that was,
and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he
goes to destruction. {17:12} The ten horns that you saw are ten kings
who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as
kings, with the beast, for one hour. {17:13} These have one mind, and
they give their power and authority to the beast. {17:14} These will
war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord
of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him,
called and chosen and faithful." {17:15} He said to me, "The waters
which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes,
nations, and languages. {17:16} The ten horns which you saw, and the
beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and
will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly
with fire. {17:17} For God has put in their hearts to do what he has
in mind, and to come to unity of mind, and to give their kingdom to
the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. {17:18} The
woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of
the [6>]eretz[<6]."
