Revelation 12
12Then I witnessed in heaven an event of great significance. I saw a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon beneath her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head.G2532G3700G3173G4592G1722G3772G1135G4016G2246G2532G4582G5270G846G4228G2532G1909G846G2776G4735G1427G7922She was pregnant, and she cried out because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.G2532G2192G1722G1064G2896G5605G2532G928G50883Then I witnessed in heaven another significant event. I saw a large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads.G2532G3700G243G4592G1722G3772G2532G2400G3173G4450G1404G2192G2033G2776G2532G1176G2768G2532G2033G1238G1909G846G27764His tail swept away one-third of the stars in the sky, and he threw them to the earth. He stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born.G2532G846G3769G4951G5154G792G3772G2532G906G846G1519G1093G2532G1404G2476G1799G1135G3588G3195G5088G2443G2719G846G5043G3752G50885She gave birth to a son who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away from the dragon and was caught up to God and to his throne.G2532G5088G730G5207G3739G3195G4165G3956G1484G1722G4464G4603G2532G846G5043G726G4314G2316G2532G846G23626And the woman fled into the wilderness, where God had prepared a place to care for her for 1,260 days.G2532G1135G5343G1519G2048G3699G2192G5117G2090G575G2316G2443G5142G846G1563G5507G1250G1835G22507Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels.G2532G1096G4171G1722G3772G3413G2532G846G32G4170G2596G1404G2532G1404G4170G2532G846G328And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven.G2532G2480G3756G3777G2147G846G5117G2147G2089G1722G37729This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.G2532G3173G1404G906G744G3789G2564G1228G2532G4567G3588G4105G3650G3625G906G1519G1093G2532G846G32G906G3326G84610Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, "It has come at last—salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth—the one who accuses them before our God day and night.G2532G191G3173G5456G3004G1722G3772G737G1096G4991G2532G1411G2532G932G2257G2316G2532G1849G846G5547G3754G2723G2257G80G2598G3588G2725G846G1799G2257G2316G2250G2532G357111And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.G2532G846G3528G846G1223G129G721G2532G1223G3056G846G3141G2532G25G3756G846G5590G891G228812Therefore, rejoice, O heavens! And you who live in the heavens, rejoice! But terror will come on the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing that he has little time."G1223G5124G2165G3772G2532G4637G1722G846G3759G2730G1093G2532G2281G3754G1228G2597G4314G5209G2192G3173G2372G1492G3754G2192G3641G254013When the dragon realized that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.G2532G3753G1404G1492G3754G906G1519G1093G1377G1135G3748G5088G73014But she was given two wings like those of a great eagle so she could fly to the place prepared for her in the wilderness. There she would be cared for and protected from the dragon for a time, times, and half a time.G2532G1135G1325G1417G4420G3173G105G2443G4072G1519G2048G1519G846G5117G3699G5142G1563G2540G2532G2540G2532G2255G2540G575G4383G378915Then the dragon tried to drown the woman with a flood of water that flowed from his mouth.G2532G3789G906G1537G846G4750G5204G5613G4215G3694G1135G2443G4160G5026G421616But the earth helped her by opening its mouth and swallowing the river that gushed out from the mouth of the dragon.G2532G1093G997G1135G2532G1093G455G846G4750G2532G2666G4215G3739G1404G906G1537G846G475017And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God's commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.G2532G1404G3710G1909G1135G2532G565G4160G4171G3326G3062G846G4690G3588G5083G1785G2316G2532G2192G3141G2424G554718Then the dragon took his stand on the shore beside the sea.
Revelation 13
13Then I saw a beast rising up out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns. And written on each head were names that blasphemed God.G2532G2476G1909G285G2281G2532G1492G2342G305G1537G2281G2192G2033G2776G2532G1176G2768G2532G1909G846G2768G1176G1238G2532G1909G846G2776G3686G988 2This beast looked like a leopard, but it had the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion! And the dragon gave the beast his own power and throne and great authority.G2532G2342G3739G1492G2258G3664G3917G2532G846G4228G5613G715G2532G846G4750G5613G4750G3023G2532G1404G1325G846G846G1411G2532G846G2362G2532G3173G1849 3I saw that one of the heads of the beast seemed wounded beyond recovery—but the fatal wound was healed! The whole world marveled at this miracle and gave allegiance to the beast.G2532G1492G3391G846G2776G5613G4969G1519G2288G2532G846G2288G4127G2323G2532G3650G1093G2296G2296G3694G1722G2342 4They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they also worshiped the beast. "Who is as great as the beast?" they exclaimed. "Who is able to fight against him?"G2532G4352G1404G3739G1325G1849G2342G2532G4352G2342G3004G5101G3664G2342G5101G1410G4170G3326G846 5Then the beast was allowed to speak great blasphemies against God. And he was given authority to do whatever he wanted for forty-two months.G2532G1325G846G4750G2980G3173G2532G988G2532G1849G1325G846G4160G5062G1417G3376 6And he spoke terrible words of blasphemy against God, slandering his name and his dwelling—that is, those who dwell in heaven.G2532G455G846G4750G1519G988G4314G2316G987G846G3686G2532G846G4633G2532G4637G1722G3772 7And the beast was allowed to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them. And he was given authority to rule over every tribe and people and language and nation.G2532G1325G846G4160G4171G3326G40G2532G3528G846G2532G1849G1325G846G1909G3956G5443G2532G1100G2532G1484 8And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made—the Book that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered.G2532G3956G2730G1909G1093G4352G846G3739G3686G1125G3756G1125G1722G976G2222G721G4969G575G2602G2889 9Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.G1536G2192G3775G191 10Anyone who is destined for prison will be taken to prison. Anyone destined to die by the sword will die by the sword. This means that God's holy people must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.G1536G4863G161G5217G1519G161G1536G615G1722G3162G1163G615G1722G3162G5602G2076G5281G2532G4102G40 11Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth. He had two horns like those of a lamb, but he spoke with the voice of a dragon.G2532G1492G243G2342G305G1537G1093G2532G2192G1417G2768G3664G721G2532G2980G5613G1404 12He exercised all the authority of the first beast. And he required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.G2532G4160G3956G1849G4413G2342G1799G846G2532G4160G1093G2532G2730G1722G846G2443G4352G4413G2342G3739G846G2288G4127G2323 13He did astounding miracles, even making fire flash down to earth from the sky while everyone was watching.G2532G4160G3173G4592G2532G2443G4160G4442G2597G1537G3772G1519G1093G1799G444 14And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world. He ordered the people to make a great statue of the first beast, who was fatally wounded and then came back to life.G2532G4105G2730G1909G1093G1223G4592G3739G846G1325G4160G1799G2342G3004G2730G1909G1093G4160G1504G2342G3739G2192G4127G3162G2532G2198 15He was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak. Then the statue of the beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship it must die.G2532G846G1325G1325G4151G1504G2342G2443G1504G2342G2980G2532G2980G2532G4160G3745G302G4352G3361G4352G1504G2342G2443G615 16He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead.G2532G4160G3956G3398G2532G3173G2532G4145G2532G4434G2532G1658G2532G1401G2443G846G1325G5480G1909G846G1188G5495G2228G1909G846G3359 17And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.G2532G3363G5100G1410G59G2228G4453G1508G2192G5480G2228G3686G2342G2228G706G846G3686 18Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.G5602G2076G4678G2192G3563G5585G706G2342G1063G2076G706G444G2532G846G706G5516
Revelation 14
14Then I saw the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.G2532G1492G2532G2400G721G2476G1909G3735G4622G2532G3326G846G1540G5062G5064G5505G2192G846G3962G3686G1125G1909G846G33592And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of mighty ocean waves or the rolling of loud thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together.G2532G191G5456G1537G3772G5613G5456G4183G5204G2532G5613G5456G3173G1027G2532G191G5456G2790G2789G1722G846G27883This great choir sang a wonderful new song in front of the throne of God and before the four living beings and the twenty-four elders. No one could learn this song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.G2532G103G5613G2537G5603G1799G2362G2532G1799G5064G2226G2532G4245G2532G3762G1410G3129G5603G1508G1540G5062G5064G5505G3588G59G575G10934They have kept themselves as pure as virgins, following the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been purchased from among the people on the earth as a special offering to God and to the Lamb.G3778G1526G3739G3435G3756G3435G3326G1135G1063G1526G3933G3778G1526G3588G190G721G3699G302G5217G3778G59G575G444G536G2316G2532G7215They have told no lies; they are without blame.G2532G1722G846G4750G2147G3756G1388G1063G1526G299G1799G2362G23166And I saw another angel flying through the sky, carrying the eternal Good News to proclaim to the people who belong to this world—to every nation, tribe, language, and people.G2532G1492G243G32G4072G1722G3321G2192G166G2098G2097G2730G1909G1093G2532G3956G1484G2532G5443G2532G1100G2532G29927"Fear God," he shouted. "Give glory to him. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water."G3004G1722G3173G5456G5399G2316G2532G1325G1391G846G3754G5610G846G2920G2064G2532G4352G4160G3772G2532G1093G2532G2281G2532G4077G52048Then another angel followed him through the sky, shouting, "Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen—because she made all the nations of the world drink the wine of her passionate immorality."G2532G190G243G32G3004G897G4098G4098G3173G4172G3754G4222G3956G1484G4222G1537G3631G2372G846G42029Then a third angel followed them, shouting, "Anyone who worships the beast and his statue or who accepts his mark on the forehead or on the handG2532G5154G32G190G846G3004G1722G3173G5456G1536G4352G2342G2532G846G1504G2532G2983G5480G1909G846G3359G2228G1909G846G549510must drink the wine of God's anger. It has been poured full strength into God's cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb.G846G2532G4095G1537G3631G2372G2316G3588G2767G194G1722G4221G846G3709G2532G928G1722G4442G2532G2303G1799G40G32G2532G1799G72111The smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the mark of his name."G2532G2586G846G929G305G1519G165G165G2532G2192G3756G372G2250G2532G3571G3588G4352G2342G2532G846G1504G2532G1536G2983G5480G846G368612This means that God's holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.G5602G2076G5281G40G5602G5083G1785G2316G2532G4102G242413And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this down: Blessed are those who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they are blessed indeed, for they will rest from their hard work; for their good deeds follow them!"G2532G191G5456G1537G3772G3004G3427G1125G3107G3498G3588G599G1722G2962G534G3483G3004G4151G2443G373G1537G846G2873G1161G846G2041G190G3326G84614Then I saw a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was someone like the Son of Man. He had a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.G2532G1492G2532G2400G3022G3507G2532G1909G3507G2521G3664G5207G444G2192G1909G846G2776G5552G4735G2532G1722G846G5495G3691G140715Then another angel came from the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, "Swing the sickle, for the time of harvest has come; the crop on earth is ripe."G2532G243G32G1831G1537G3485G2896G1722G3173G5456G2521G1909G3507G3992G4675G1407G2532G2325G3754G5610G2064G4671G2325G3754G2326G1093G358316So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the whole earth was harvested.G2532G2521G1909G3507G906G846G1407G1909G1093G2532G1093G232517After that, another angel came from the Temple in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.G2532G243G32G1831G1537G3485G3588G1722G3772G846G2532G2192G3691G140718Then another angel, who had power to destroy with fire, came from the altar. He shouted to the angel with the sharp sickle, "Swing your sickle now to gather the clusters of grapes from the vines of the earth, for they are ripe for judgment."G2532G243G32G1831G1537G2379G2192G1849G1909G4442G2532G5455G3173G2906G2192G3691G1407G3004G3992G4675G3691G1407G2532G5166G1009G288G1093G3754G846G4718G18719So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and loaded the grapes into the great winepress of God's wrath.G2532G32G906G846G1407G1519G1093G2532G5166G288G1093G2532G906G1519G3173G3025G2372G231620The grapes were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress in a stream about 180 miles long and as high as a horse's bridle.G2532G3025G3961G1854G4172G2532G129G1831G1537G3025G891G2462G5469G575G5507G1812G4712
Revelation 15
15Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance. Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God's wrath to completion.G2532G1492G243G4592G1722G3772G3173G2532G2298G2033G32G2192G2033G2078G4127G3754G1722G846G5055G2372G23162I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name. They were all holding harps that God had given them.G2532G1492G5613G2281G5193G3396G4442G2532G3528G1537G2342G2532G1537G846G1504G2532G1537G846G5480G1537G706G846G3686G2476G1909G2281G5193G2192G2788G23163And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: "Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.G2532G103G5603G3475G1401G2316G2532G5603G721G3004G3173G2532G2298G4675G2041G2962G2316G3841G1342G2532G228G4675G3598G935G404Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed."G5101G5399G3364G5399G4571G2962G2532G1392G4675G3686G3754G3441G3741G3754G3956G1484G2240G2532G4352G1799G4675G3754G4675G1345G53195Then I looked and saw that the Temple in heaven, God's Tabernacle, was thrown wide open.G2532G3326G5023G1492G2532G2400G3485G4633G3142G1722G3772G4556The seven angels who were holding the seven plagues came out of the Temple. They were clothed in spotless white linen with gold sashes across their chests.G2532G2033G32G1831G1537G3485G2192G2033G4127G1746G2513G2532G2986G3043G2532G4738G4024G4012G5552G22237Then one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.G2532G1520G1537G5064G2226G1325G2033G32G2033G5552G5357G1073G2372G2316G3588G2198G1519G165G1658The Temple was filled with smoke from God's glory and power. No one could enter the Temple until the seven angels had completed pouring out the seven plagues.G2532G3485G1072G2586G1537G1391G2316G2532G1537G846G1411G2532G3762G1410G1525G1519G3485G891G2033G4127G2033G32G5055
Revelation 16
16Then I heard a mighty voice from the Temple say to the seven angels, "Go your ways and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God's wrath."G2532G191G3173G5456G1537G3485G3004G2033G32G5217G2532G1632G5357G2372G2316G1519G10932So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.G2532G4413G565G2532G1632G846G5357G1909G1093G2532G1096G2556G2532G4190G1668G1519G444G3588G2192G5480G2342G2532G4352G846G15043Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse. And everything in the sea died.G2532G1208G32G1632G846G5357G1519G2281G2532G1096G5613G129G3498G2532G3956G2198G5590G599G1722G22814Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood.G2532G5154G32G1632G846G5357G1519G4215G2532G1519G4077G5204G2532G1096G1295And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying, "You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was, because you have sent these judgments.G2532G191G32G5204G3004G1488G1342G2962G3588G5607G3801G2532G2258G3801G2532G3741G3801G3754G2919G50236Since they shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets, you have given them blood to drink. It is their just reward."G3754G1632G129G40G2532G4396G2532G1325G846G129G4095G1063G1526G5147And I heard a voice from the altar, saying, "Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, your judgments are true and just."G2532G191G243G1537G2379G3004G3483G2962G2316G3841G228G2532G1342G4675G29208Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, causing it to scorch everyone with its fire.G2532G5067G32G1632G846G5357G1909G2246G2532G1325G846G2739G444G1722G44429Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory.G2532G444G2739G3173G2738G2532G987G3686G2316G3588G2192G1849G1909G5025G4127G2532G3340G3756G1325G846G139110Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. His subjects ground their teeth in anguish,G2532G3991G32G1632G846G5357G1909G2362G2342G2532G846G932G1096G4656G2532G3145G846G1100G1537G419211and they cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their evil deeds and turn to God.G2532G987G2316G3772G1537G846G4192G2532G1537G846G1668G2532G3340G3756G1537G846G204112Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance.G2532G1623G32G1632G846G5357G1909G3173G4215G2166G2532G5204G846G3583G2443G3598G935G575G395G2246G209013And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet.G2532G1492G5140G169G4151G3664G944G1537G4750G1404G2532G1537G4750G2342G2532G1537G4750G557814They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty.G1063G1526G4151G1142G4160G4592G1607G3739G1607G1909G935G1093G2532G3650G3625G4863G846G1519G4171G1565G3173G2250G2316G384115"Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed."G2400G2064G5613G2812G3107G1127G2532G5083G846G2440G3363G4043G1131G2532G991G846G80816And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon.G2532G4863G846G4863G1519G5117G2564G1447G71717Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, "It is finished!"G2532G1442G32G1632G846G5357G1519G109G2532G1831G3173G5456G575G3485G3772G575G2362G3004G109618Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck—the worst since people were placed on the earth.G2532G1096G5456G2532G1027G2532G796G2532G1096G3173G4578G3634G1096G3756G3739G575G444G1096G1909G1093G5082G4578G3779G317319The great city of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble. So God remembered all of Babylon's sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath.G2532G3173G4172G1096G1519G5140G3313G2532G4172G1484G4098G2532G3173G897G3415G1799G2316G1325G846G4221G3631G2372G846G370920And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled.G2532G3956G3520G5343G2532G3735G2147G3756G214721There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing as much as seventy-five pounds fell from the sky onto the people below. They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.G2532G2597G1909G444G3173G5464G1537G3772G5613G5006G2532G444G987G2316G1537G4127G5464G3754G4127G846G2076G4970G3173
Revelation 17
17One of the seven angels who had poured out the seven bowls came over and spoke to me. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the judgment that is going to come on the great prostitute, who rules over many waters.G2532G2064G1520G1537G2033G32G3588G2192G2033G5357G2532G2980G3326G1700G3004G3427G1204G1166G4671G2917G3173G4204G2521G1909G4183G52042The kings of the world have committed adultery with her, and the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality."G3326G3739G935G1093G4203G2532G2730G1093G3184G1537G3631G846G42023So the angel took me in the Spirit into the wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that had seven heads and ten horns, and blasphemies against God were written all over it.G2532G667G3165G667G1722G4151G1519G2048G2532G1492G1135G2521G1909G2847G2342G1073G3686G988G2192G2033G2776G2532G1176G27684The woman wore purple and scarlet clothing and beautiful jewelry made of gold and precious gems and pearls. In her hand she held a gold goblet full of obscenities and the impurities of her immorality.G2532G1135G2258G4016G4209G2532G2847G2532G5558G5557G2532G5093G3037G2532G3135G2192G5552G4221G1722G846G5495G1073G946G2532G168G846G42025A mysterious name was written on her forehead: "Babylon the Great, Mother of All Prostitutes and Obscenities in the World."G2532G1909G846G3359G3686G1125G3466G897G3173G3384G4204G2532G946G10936I could see that she was drunk—drunk with the blood of God's holy people who were witnesses for Jesus. I stared at her in complete amazement.G2532G1492G1135G3184G1537G129G40G2532G1537G129G3144G2424G2532G1492G846G2296G3173G22957"Why are you so amazed?" the angel asked. "I will tell you the mystery of this woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns on which she sits.G2532G32G2036G3427G1302G2296G1473G2046G4671G3466G1135G2532G2342G941G846G3588G2192G2033G2776G2532G1176G27688The beast you saw was once alive but isn't now. And yet he will soon come up out of the bottomless pit and go to eternal destruction. And the people who belong to this world, whose names were not written in the Book of Life before the world was made, will be amazed at the reappearance of this beast who had died.G2342G3739G1492G2258G2532G2076G3756G2532G3195G305G1537G12G2532G5217G1519G684G2532G2730G1909G1093G2296G3739G3686G1125G3756G1125G1909G975G2222G575G2602G2889G991G2342G3748G2258G2532G2076G3756G2539G20769"This calls for a mind with understanding: The seven heads of the beast represent the seven hills where the woman rules. They also represent seven kings.G5602G3563G3588G2192G4678G2033G2776G1526G2033G3735G1909G846G1135G2521G369910Five kings have already fallen, the sixth now reigns, and the seventh is yet to come, but his reign will be brief.G2532G1526G2033G935G4002G4098G2532G1520G2076G243G2064G3768G2064G2532G3752G2064G846G1163G3306G364111"The scarlet beast that was, but is no longer, is the eighth king. He is like the other seven, and he, too, is headed for destruction.G2532G2342G3739G2258G2532G2076G3756G2532G846G2076G3590G2532G2076G1537G2033G2532G5217G1519G68412The ten horns of the beast are ten kings who have not yet risen to power. They will be appointed to their kingdoms for one brief moment to reign with the beast.G2532G1176G2768G3739G1492G1526G1176G935G3748G2983G3768G932G3768G235G2983G1849G5613G935G3391G5610G3326G234213They will all agree to give him their power and authority.G3778G2192G3391G1106G2532G1239G1438G1411G2532G1849G234214Together they will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them because he is Lord of all lords and King of all kings. And his called and chosen and faithful ones will be with him."G3778G4170G3326G721G2532G721G3528G846G3754G2076G2962G2962G2532G935G935G2532G3326G846G2822G2532G1588G2532G410315Then the angel said to me, "The waters where the prostitute is ruling represent masses of people of every nation and language.G2532G3004G3427G5204G3739G1492G3757G4204G2521G1526G2992G2532G3793G2532G1484G2532G110016The scarlet beast and his ten horns all hate the prostitute. They will strip her naked, eat her flesh, and burn her remains with fire.G2532G1176G2768G3739G1492G1909G2342G3778G3404G4204G2532G4160G846G2049G2532G1131G2532G5315G846G4561G2532G2618G846G1722G444217For God has put a plan into their minds, a plan that will carry out his purposes. They will agree to give their authority to the scarlet beast, and so the words of God will be fulfilled.G1063G2316G1325G1519G846G2588G4160G846G1106G2532G4160G3391G1106G2532G1325G846G932G2342G891G4487G2316G505518And this woman you saw in your vision represents the great city that rules over the kings of the world."G2532G1135G3739G1492G2076G3173G4172G3588G2192G932G1909G935G1093
Revelation 18
18After all this I saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority, and the earth grew bright with his splendor.G2532G3326G5023G1492G243G32G2597G1537G3772G2192G3173G1849G2532G1093G5461G1537G846G13912He gave a mighty shout: "Babylon is fallen—that great city is fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a hideout for every foul spirit, a hideout for every foul vulture and every foul and dreadful animal.G2532G2896G2479G1722G3173G5456G3004G897G3173G4098G4098G2532G1096G2732G1142G2532G5438G3956G169G4151G2532G5438G3956G169G2532G3404G37323For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of her passionate immorality. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her. Because of her desires for extravagant luxury, the merchants of the world have grown rich."G3754G3956G1484G4095G1537G3631G2372G846G4202G2532G935G1093G4203G3326G846G2532G1713G1093G4147G1537G1411G846G47644Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, "Come away from her, my people. Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her.G2532G191G243G5456G1537G3772G3004G1831G1537G846G3450G2992G3363G4790G3363G4790G846G266G2532G3363G2983G3363G1537G846G41275For her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God remembers her evil deeds.G3754G846G266G190G2853G891G3772G2532G2316G3421G846G926Do to her as she has done to others. Double her penalty for all her evil deeds. She brewed a cup of terror for others, so brew twice as much.G591G846G2532G5613G846G3778G591G5213G2532G1363G846G1362G2596G846G2041G1722G4221G3739G2767G2767G846G13627She glorified herself and lived in luxury, so match it now with torment and sorrow. She boasted in her heart, 'I am queen on my throne. I am no helpless widow, and I have no reason to mourn.'G3745G1392G1438G2532G4763G5118G929G2532G3997G1325G846G3754G3004G1722G846G2588G2521G938G2532G1510G3756G5503G2532G1492G3364G39978Therefore, these plagues will overtake her in a single day—death and mourning and famine. She will be completely consumed by fire, for the Lord God who judges her is mighty."G5124G1223G2240G846G4127G2240G1722G3391G2250G2288G2532G3997G2532G3042G2532G2618G1722G4442G3754G2478G2962G2316G3588G2919G8469And the kings of the world who committed adultery with her and enjoyed her great luxury will mourn for her as they see the smoke rising from her charred remains.G2532G935G1093G3588G4203G2532G4763G3326G846G2799G846G2532G2875G1909G846G3752G991G2586G846G445110They will stand at a distance, terrified by her great torment. They will cry out, "How terrible, how terrible for you, O Babylon, you great city! In a single moment God's judgment came on you."G2476G3113G575G1223G5401G846G929G3004G3759G3759G3173G4172G897G2478G4172G3754G1722G3391G5610G2064G4675G2920G206411The merchants of the world will weep and mourn for her, for there is no one left to buy their goods.G2532G1713G1093G2799G2532G3996G1909G846G3754G3762G59G846G1117G376512She bought great quantities of gold, silver, jewels, and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk, and scarlet cloth; things made of fragrant thyine wood, ivory goods, and objects made of expensive wood; and bronze, iron, and marble.G1117G5557G2532G696G2532G5093G3037G2532G3135G2532G1040G2532G4209G2532G4596G2532G2847G2532G3956G2367G3586G2532G3956G4632G1661G2532G3956G4632G1537G5093G3586G2532G5475G2532G4604G2532G313913She also bought cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and bodies—that is, human slaves.G2532G2792G2532G2368G2532G3464G2532G3030G2532G3631G2532G1637G2532G4585G2532G4621G2532G2934G2532G4263G2532G2462G2532G4480G2532G4983G2532G5590G44414"The fancy things you loved so much are gone," they cry.
