The Scarlet Woman and the Scarlet Beast

1 Then aone of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying1 to me, “Come, bI will show you the judgment of cthe great harlot dwho sits on many waters,  
2 awith whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and bthe inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication.”  
3 So he carried me away in the Spirit ainto the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting bon a scarlet beast which was full of cnames of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.  
4 The woman awas arrayed in purple and scarlet, band adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, chaving in her hand a golden cup dfull of abominations and the filthiness of1 her fornication.  
5 And on her forehead a name was written: aMYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.  
6 I saw athe woman, drunk bwith the blood of the saints and with the blood of cthe martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.  

The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast

7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the1 mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.  
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and awill ascend out of the bottomless pit and bgo to perdition. And those who cdwell on the earth dwill marvel, ewhose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and2 yet is.  
9 a“Here is the mind which has wisdom: bThe seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.  
10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must acontinue a short time.
