Revelation 17:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 17:1

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.
