AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
And I saw the woman
drunken with the blood of the saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
I could see that the woman was
drunk with the blood of the saints
and witnesses for Jesus.
And I was utterly
amazed at the sight of her.
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore
didst thou
marvel? I will tell thee the
mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads
and ten horns.
“Why are you so
amazed?” said the angel. “I will tell you the
mystery of the woman
and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads
and ten horns.
The beast that thou sawest was,
and is not;
and shall
ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into
perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was,
and is not,
and yet is.
The beast that you saw—it was,
and now is no more, but is about to come up out of the
Abyss and go to its destruction.

marvel when they see the beast that was,

And the beast that was,
and is not, even he is the eighth,
and is of the seven,
and goeth into
perdition.

The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive one hour of authority as kings, along with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
These kings have one purpose: to yield their power and authority to the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
They will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and He will be accompanied by His called and chosen and faithful ones.”
And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
whore sitteth, are peoples,
and multitudes,
and nations,
and tongues.

prostitute was seated, are peoples
and multitudes
and nations
and tongues.
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall
hate the
whore,
and shall make her
desolate and naked,
and shall eat her flesh,
and burn her with fire.

and the beast that you saw will

prostitute. They will leave her
desolate and naked,
and will eat her flesh
and burn her with fire.

And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

And he
cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,

habitation of devils,
and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a
cage of every unclean
and hateful bird.

cried out in a mighty voice: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a
lair for demons
and a
haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird,

For all nations have
drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication,
and the kings of the earth have committed
fornication with her,
and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies.

drunk the wine of the passion of her immorality. The kings of the earth were immoral with her,

extravagance of her
luxury.”

For her sins have reached unto heaven,
and God hath remembered her
iniquities.
For her sins are piled up to heaven,
and God has remembered her
iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
Give back to her as she has done to others; pay her back double for what she has done;
mix her a double portion in her own cup.
How much she hath
glorified herself,
and lived
deliciously, so much
torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen,
and am no widow,
and shall see no sorrow.
As much as she has
glorified herself
and lived in
luxury, give her the same measure of
torment and grief. In her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen; I am not a widow
and will never see grief.’
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death,
and mourning,
and famine;
and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Therefore her plagues will come in one day— death and grief and famine— and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.”
And the kings of the earth, who have committed
fornication and lived
deliciously with her, shall
bewail her,
and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Then the kings of the earth who committed sexual immorality
and lived in
luxury with her will
weep and wail at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her.

weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their
merchandise any more:

weep and mourn over her, because there is no one left to
buy their
cargo—
The
merchandise of gold,
and silver,
and precious stones,
and of pearls,
and fine linen,
and purple,
and silk,
and scarlet,
and all thyine wood,
and all manner vessels of ivory,

cinnamon,
spice, incense,
myrrh,

lusted after are departed from thee,
and all things which were
dainty and goodly are departed from thee,
and thou shalt find them no more at all.
And they will say: “The fruit of your soul’s desire has departed from you; all your
luxury and splendor have
vanished, never to be seen again.”
The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand
afar off for the fear of her
torment,
weeping and wailing,
The merchants who sold these things
and grew their wealth from her will stand at a distance, in fear of her
torment. They will
weep and mourn,
And saying,
Alas,
alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen,
and purple,
and scarlet,
and decked with gold,
and precious stones,
and pearls!
saying: “
Woe,
woe to the great city, clothed in fine linen
and purple
and scarlet, adorned with gold
and precious stones
and pearls!
For in one hour so great riches is come to
nought.
And every
shipmaster,
and all the company in ships,
and sailors,
and as many as trade by sea, stood
afar off,
For in a single hour such
fabulous wealth has been destroyed!” Every
shipmaster,
passenger,
and sailor,
and all who make their living from the sea, will stand at a distance
And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
and cry out at the sight of the smoke rising from the fire that consumes her. “What city was ever like this great city?” they will
exclaim.
Then they will throw dust on their heads as they
weep and mourn and cry out: “
Woe,
woe to the great city, where all who had ships on the sea were enriched by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been destroyed.”
Rejoice over her, thou heaven,
and ye holy apostles
and prophets; for God hath
avenged you on her.
Rejoice over her, O heaven, O saints
and apostles
and prophets, because God has pronounced for you His judgment against her.

millstone,
and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down,

millstone and cast it into the sea, saying: “With such violence the great city of Babylon will be cast down, never to be seen again.
And the voice of harpers,
and musicians,
and of pipers,
and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee;
and no
craftsman, of
whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee;
and the sound of a
millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
And the sound of harpists
and musicians, of
flute players
and trumpeters, will never ring out in you again. Nor will any
craftsmen of any trade be found in you again, nor the sound of a
millstone be heard in you again.
And the light of a
candle shall
shine no more at all in thee;
and the voice of the
bridegroom and of the
bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy
sorceries were all nations
deceived.
The light of a lamp will never
shine in you again,
and the voices of a
bride and bridegroom will never call out in you again. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because all the nations were
deceived by your
sorcery.”

roar of a great multitude in heaven,
shouting: “
Hallelujah! Salvation
and glory
and power belong to our God!
For true
and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great
whore, which did corrupt the earth with her
fornication,
and hath
avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
For His judgments are true
and just. He has judged the great

and ever.

and he
cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come
and gather
yourselves together unto the
supper of the great God;

and he
cried out in a loud voice to all the birds flying overhead, “Come, gather together for the great
supper of God,

jasper stone, clear as crystal;
And had a wall great
and high,
and had twelve gates,
and at the gates twelve angels,
and names written
thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west.
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.
And the city lieth
foursquare,
and the length is as large as the breadth:
and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length
and the breadth
and the height of it are equal.
The city lies
foursquare, with its width the same as its length.
And he measured the city with the rod,
and all its dimensions were equal—12,000
stadia in length
and width
and height.
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
And he measured its wall to be 144 cubits, by the human measure the angel was using.
And the building of the wall of it was of
jasper:
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
The wall was made of
jasper,
and the city itself of pure gold, as pure as glass.

jasper, the second
sapphire, the third

emerald,

pearl:
and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single
pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to
shine in it: for the glory of God did
lighten it,
and the Lamb is the light thereof.
And the city has no need of sun or moon to
shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city,
and the Lamb is its lamp.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor
anyone who practices an
abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
