1 And one from among the seven messengers having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying: "Come, I shall show you the judgment of the great whore who sits upon many waters,2 with whom the kings of the earth have fornicated, and those inhabiting the earth have been intoxicated from the wine of her fornication!"3 And in the Spirit he brought me to a desert. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet and gilt in gold and precious stones and pearls, having a gold cup in her hand full of abominations and the unclean things of her fornication,5 and upon her forehead a name is inscribed: "Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of the Whores and the Abominations of the Earth".6 And I saw the woman intoxicated from the blood of the saints and from the blood of those bearing the testimony of Yahshua. And I marveled seeing this great wonder.7 And the messenger said to me: "For what reason do you marvel? I shall tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast carrying her, having the seven heads and ten horns!8 The beast which you saw was and is not and is going to ascend from out of the bottomless pit and go into destruction, and those dwelling upon the earth, whose name is not written in the book of life from the foundation of Society, shall marvel seeing the beast that was and is not and shall be present.9 Thus is the mind having wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits upon them. And there are seven kings:10 five have fallen, one is, another has not yet come, and when he should come it is necessary that he remains a short time.11 And the beast which was and is not even he is the eighth and is from of the seven, and goes into destruction.12 And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, who have never received a kingdom, but they shall receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.13 These have one mind and power and they give their authority to the beast.14 These shall make war with the Lamb and the Lamb shall overcome them, because He is Prince of Princes and King of Kings and those with Him called and chosen and faithful!"15 And he says to me: "The waters which you saw where the whore sits are people and multitudes and nations and tongues.16 And the ten horns which you saw and the beast, these shall hate the whore and they shall make her desolate and naked and they shall eat her flesh and they shall burn her down with fire.17 For Yahweh has bestowed it into their hearts to do His will and to have one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of Yahweh shall be accomplished.18 And the woman which you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth."
