1
And one of the seven messengers having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come, I shall show you the Judgment of the great prostitute sitting upon many waters,
2
with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those dwelling upon the earth became drunk from the wine of her sexual immorality."
3
And he carried me away in Ruach into a wilderness. And I saw an ishah sitting upon a scarlet beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4
And the ishah was clothed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the uncleanness of her sexual immorality.
5
And upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery: "BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."
6
And I saw the ishah drunk from the blood of the set-apart ones and from the blood of the witnesses of Yahushua. And seeing her, I marveled with great amazement.
7
And the messenger said to me, "Why do you marvel? I shall tell you the mystery of the ishah and of the beast carrying her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
8
The beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from the abyss and go toward destruction. And those dwelling upon the earth whose names have not been written in the sefer of life from the foundation of the world shall marvel when they see the beast, because it was, and is not, and shall be present.
9
Here is the mind having wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains upon which the ishah sits, and they are seven kings.
10
Five fell, one is, the other has not yet come; and whenever he comes, he must remain a little while.
11
And the beast which was and is not, he himself is an eighth and is from the seven, and goes toward destruction.
12
And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast.
13
These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, because he is Master of masters and King of kings; and those with him are called, chosen, and faithful."
15
And he said to me, "The waters which you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.
16
And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these shall hate the prostitute, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17
For Elohim placed it into their hearts to perform His purpose, to perform one purpose and give their kingdom to the beast until the Words of Elohim are completed.
18
And the ishah whom you saw is the great city having kingship over the kings of the earth."
