And I gave her time, that she might repent; and she is not willing to repent of her fornication.

Behold, I cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her, into great tribulation, if they repent not of their works.

And her children I will slay with death; and all the assemblies shall know that I am He Who searcheth the reins and hearts; and I will give to you, each one, according to your works.

and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig-tree casts her unripe figs, when shaken by a great wind;

And a great sign was seen in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars;

And his tail drags the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And the dragon has taken his stand before the woman who is about to bring forth; in order that, when she brings forth, he may devour her child.

And she brought forth a man-child, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they may nourish her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days.

And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

And the serpent cast out of his mouth, after the woman, water as a river, that he might cause her to be borne away by the river.

And the earth helped the woman; and the earth opened her mouth, and drank down the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

And the dragon was angry with the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, who keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus;

If anyone is for captivity, into captivity he goes; if anyone shall kill with a sword, with a sword he must be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Here is wisdom. He that has understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is a number of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty six.

And another, a second angel, followed, saying, "It fell, it fell, Babylon the Great, that has made all the nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication!"

Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

And another angel came forth out from the altar, he that has authority over the fire; and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; because her grapes were ripe."

And the great city was divided into three parts; and the cities of the nations fell; and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication."

And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup, full of abominations, even the impurities of her fornication,

and upon her forehead a name written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And, seeing her, I wondered with great wonder.

And the angel said to me, "Why did you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

Here is the mind that has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.

because, in consequence of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, have all the nations fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich by the power of her luxury."

And I heard another voice out of Heaven saying, "Come forth out of her, my people, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues;

because her sins were joined together even to Heaven, and God remembered her iniquities.

Render to her, as she also rendered; and double the double according to her works; in the cup which she mixed, mix ye to her double.

As much as she glorified herself, and lived luxuriously, so much torment and mourning give her; because she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am not a widow, and shall in nowise see mourning.'

Therefore, in one day shall come her plagues, death and mourning and famine; and she shall be burned up with fire; because strong is the Lord God who judged her.

"And the kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they behold the smoke of her burning;

standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! because in one hour your judgment came!'

"And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her; because no one buys their merchandise any more;

The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, shall stand afar off because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

and they cried out, when beholding the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What city is like the great city?'

And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, wherein all who have ships in the sea became rich by reason of her costliness! because in one hour she was made desolate.

Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; because God judged your judgment on her.'

And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.

because true and righteous are His judgments; because He judged the great harlot; who, indeed, corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He avenged the blood of His servants at her hand."

And a second time they say, "Hallelujah!" And her smoke ascends forever and ever.

And it was given to her that she should clothe herself in fine linen, bright, pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

having the glory of God; her radiance was like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal;
