And there are seven kings: five fell, and one is; the other has not yet come; and when he should come, he must remain a little. And the wild beast which was, and is not, and this is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes forward into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which took not yet the kingdom; but take power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one purpose, and their power and authority will they transmit to the wild beast. These will wage war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they with him called, and chosen, and faithful. And he says to me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the wild beast, these shall hate the harlot, and shall make her desolate and naked, and they shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire.
