Revelation 17:1-6

Revelation 17:1-6

[1] And  there came  one  of  the seven  angels  which  had  the seven  vials,  and  talked  with  saying  Come hither;  I will shew  the judgment  of the great  whore  that sitteth  upon  many  waters:  [2] With  whom  the kings  of the earth  have committed fornication,  and  the inhabitants  of the earth  with  the wine  of her  fornication.  [3] So  away  in  the spirit  into  the wilderness:  and  a woman  sit  upon  a scarlet coloured  beast,  full of  names  of blasphemy,  having  seven  heads  and  ten  horns.  [4] And  the woman  arrayed  and  scarlet colour,  and  decked  and  precious  stones  and  pearls,  having  a golden  cup  in  her  hand  full of  abominations  and  of her  fornication:  [5] And  upon  her  forehead  was a name  written,  MYSTERY,  BABYLON  THE GREAT,  THE MOTHER  OF HARLOTS  AND  ABOMINATIONS  OF THE EARTH.  [6] And  the woman  drunken  with  the blood  of the saints,  and  with  the blood  of the martyrs  of Jesus:  and  her,  I wondered  with great  admiration.
