¹ And there came one of the seuen Angels, which had the seuen vials, and talked with me, saying vnto mee, Come hither, I will shew vnto thee the iudgement of the great Whore, that sitteth vpon many waters:

² With whom the kings of the earth haue committed fornication, and the inhabiters of the earth haue beene made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

³ So he caried me away in the Spirit into the wildernesse: and I saw a woman sit vpō a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, hauing seuen heads, and ten hornes.

⁴ And the woman was arayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold, and precious stone & pearles, hauing a golden cup in her hand, full of abominations and filthinesse of her fornication.

⁵ And vpon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots, And Abominations Of The Earth.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints, and with the blood of the Martyrs of Iesus: and when I saw her, I wondred with great admiration.

⁷ And the Angel saide vnto mee, Wherefore didst thou marueile? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carieth her, which hath the seuen heads, and ten hornes.

⁸ The beast that thou sawest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomlesse pit, and goe into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, (whose names were not written in the booke of life from the foundation of the world) when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

⁹ And here is the mind which hath wisedome. The seuen heads are seuen mountaines, on which the woman sitteth.

¹⁰ And there are seuen Kings, fiue are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he commeth, he must continue a short space.

¹¹ And the beast that was, and is not, euen he is the eighth, & is of the seuen, and goeth into perdition.

¹² And the tenne hornes which thou sawest, are ten kings, which haue receiued no kingdom as yet: but receiue power as kings one houre with the beast.

¹³ These haue one minde, and shall giue their power and strength vnto the beast.

¹⁴ These shal make warre with the Lambe, and the Lambe shal ouercome them: For he is Lord of Lords, and King of kings, and they that are with him, are called, & chosen, and faithfull.

¹⁵ And he saith vnto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

¹⁶ And the ten hornes which thou sawest vpon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate, and naked, and shall eate her flesh, and burne her with fire.

¹⁷ For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and giue their kingdome vnto the beast, vntil the words of God shall be fulfilled.

¹⁸ And the woman which thou sawest, is that great Citie which reigneth ouer the kings of the earth.

Do good judgement. Do exploits that are safe and effective for those you love. There are already enough bad exploits to go around!

What has the makings of a great city? What city would you consider the greatest on earth? Seems these days nearly everyone is more ready to pass the buck, but not the book.

Takirid's comments on identifying Babylon the Great(The Harlot) and The Beast is spot on, long winded but accurate, take the time to read it carefully if you want to learn the truth.

Howard's Revelation Chapter 17 comment about verse 18 on 4/05/2013, 8:12pm...

It never ceases to amaze me how we try to make excuses for America and paint her this great bastion of virtue leading the rest of us heathens to God. This we do despite the fact that America placing itself above God. Intimidating it citizens into abandoning the Word of God in deference to a culture of political correctness. Hence we make Mystery to be some other place other than the obvious. Know for sure that when the writer penned this prophecy, Babylon had already given way to the Medes et al as rulers of the Earth. We cannot understand fully this Mystery Babylon (which will be violently overthrown either by some cataclysmic event or some man-made disaster such as a nuclear attack) unless we compare this with some current city. The prophecies about Mystery Babylon are yet to be fulfilled. Here are five (5) criteria it seems Mystery Babylon must meet: (1) The world’s best known city in its day, (2) The world’s most sought after destination for tourist travel, (3) The financial center of the world, (4) The center of world trade and economic activities, and (5) the political and social center of planet Earth. If there is any city on the Planet today that meets those criteria, that should be the number one candidate to wear the title: Mystery Babylon, the Mother of Harlots.

It's obvious that the Persian Gulf is referenced as the great whore, as ancient cities of Babylon were named for Ishtar and other false gods. She was thrown into a bed and burnt with fire, just as it happened in the desert storm war.

Kwan bynum's Revelation Chapter 17 comment on 3/13/2013, 11:54am...

We have thoughts and sought the knowledge of things, but if you pay close attention to the writings of this chapter you will understand that this woman is riding on the back of the beast that was healed by Satan himself. Revelation also states the Satan’s number is 666 is the number of man. Remember man’s sperm produces male and female, and this is clearly stating that Satan’s right hand man is a woman. Babylon is similar to The Garden Of Eden, and the old Hebrew tale is, "God Made The Beginning according To The Ending: In the garden she was created to be a help mate, but she's always been the helper to the serpent to destroy man’s glory that he receives from God. The problem with The Catholic Church is, they tried to adapt themselves to Revelation when it speaks of the 144,000 men who were not defiled by women. They try to live that out and it is not meant for them. With that said, The spiritual principalities unseen who seek a door to possess minds have always had a field day with them and they have never been strong enough spiritually to see it.
