Revelation 17:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 17:4

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.
