to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction. Those who dwell on the earth and whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel when they see that the beast was, and is not, and shall be present.{TR reads "yet is" instead of "shall be present"} 017:009 Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits. 017:010 They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while. 017:011 The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction. 017:012 The ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority as kings, with the beast, for one hour. 017:013 These have one mind, and they give their power and authority to the beast. 017:014 These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings. They also will overcome who are with him, called and chosen and faithful." 017:015 He said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. 017:016 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire. 017:017 For God has put in their hearts to do what he has in mind, and to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God should be accomplished. 017:018 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth." 018:001 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory. 018:002 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird! 018:003 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury." 018:004 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues, 018:005 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities. 018:006 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.
