One of the Seven Angels
Who had the Seven Bowls
Came and said to me,
“Come, I will Show you the Punishment
Of the Great Prostitute,
Who Sits by Many Waters.
2 WITH HER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH
COMMITTED ADULTERY,
And the Inhabitants of the Earth
WERE INTOXICATED
WITH THE WINE OF HER ADULTERIES.”
3 Then the Angel
Carried me Away in the Spirit
Into a Wilderness.
There I Saw a Woman
Sitting on a Scarlet Beast
THAT WAS COVERED
WITH BLASPHEMOUS NAMES
AND HAD SEVEN HEADS AND TEN HORNS.
4 THE WOMAN WAS DRESSED
IN PURPLE AND SCARLET,
AND WAS GLITTERING WITH GOLD,
PRECIOUS STONES AND PEARLS.
SHE HELD A GOLDEN CUP IN HER HAND,
FILLED WITH ABOMINABLE THINGS
AND THE FILTH OF HER ADULTERIES.
5 the Name Written on her Forehead
WAS MYSTERY:
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I SAW THE WOMAN WAS DRUNK
WITH THE BLOOD OF GOD’S HOLY PEOPLE
THE BLOOD OF THOSE
WHO BORE TESTIMONY TO JESUS.
(Revelation 17:1-6, NIV)
