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.
11 The abeast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to1 perdition.
12 a“The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast.
13 These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
14 aThese will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will bovercome them, cfor He is Lord of lords and King of kings; dand those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”
15 Then he said to me, a“The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, bare peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, athese will hate the harlot, make her bdesolate cand naked, eat her flesh and dburn her with fire.
17 aFor God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, buntil the words of God are fulfilled.
18 And the woman whom you saw ais that great city bwhich reigns over the kings of the earth.”
