and I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondred with great admiration. and the angel said to me, wherefore didst thou marvel?

The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. they likewise signify seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; when he comes, he will continue but a short space. the beast that was, and is not, is himself the eighth: he is of the seven, and shall be destroy'd. the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings for a while with the beast. they all agree in this, to give their power and strength to the beast. they will make war with the lamb, but the lamb, who is lord of lords, and king of kings, together with those that are called, chosen, and faithful, shall overcome them. Then he said to me, the waters which you saw, where the prostitute has her seat, are the people, the multitude, nations, and provinces. the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, they shall hate the whore, they shall plunder, and strip her, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

The dragon then finding that he was precipitated to the earth, persecuted the woman, who brought forth the man-child. but to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to her place, where she is to be maintain'd for a time, and times, and half a time. and the serpent spouted from his throat a flood of water, after the woman, in order to drown her with the flood. but the earth helped the woman, for the earth opened its jaws, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon threw out of his throat, which so enrag'd the dragon against the woman, that he went to make war with the rest of her race, who keep the commandments of God, and bear testimony to Jesus.
And the SIXTH angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. and I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. for they are the spirits of demons working miracles, which make a progress to the kings of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God almighty. read more.
"I shall come with surprize, happy he that is upon the watch, and keepeth his garments pure, that his vices may not put him to shame." and he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon. And the SEVENTH angel poured out his vial into the air; and there a loud voice issued from the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, "it is done." and there were voices, thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great. and the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. and every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. and there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a TALENT: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

When the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to seduce the nations, which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to assemble them to battle: they will be as numerous as the sand of the sea. they will spread on the surface of the earth, and encompass the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and fire shall descend from God out of heaven, and devour them. read more.
the devil that seduced them, shall be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

the ten horns which you saw, are ten kings, who have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings for a while with the beast. they all agree in this, to give their power and strength to the beast. they will make war with the lamb, but the lamb, who is lord of lords, and king of kings, together with those that are called, chosen, and faithful, shall overcome them.
Then there was given me a reed like a rod: with this direction, rise and measure the temple of God, with the altar, and those that worship therein. but don't measure the court which is without; for it is given to the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they trample under foot two and forty months. by virtue of my power, my two witnesses shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days cloathed in sackcloth. read more.
these are the two olive-trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the Lord of the earth. if any man should offer to hurt them, fire will proceed out of their mouth, and destroy their enemies: whoever should hurt them, would by this means perish. during their prophecy they have power to prevent any rain descending from heaven: their power extends over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with what plagues they please. when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit, will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.

Then I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads, and ten horns; upon his horns were ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. and the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. and I saw one of his heads, as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world went wondring after the beast. read more.
They worshipped the dragon which had given his power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, "who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?" there was given to him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemy; and power was given to him for two and forty months. and he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and those that dwell in heaven, he was permitted to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all the tribes, and provinces, and nations.

Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse appear'd; and he that sat upon him was called the faithful and the true: in righteousness he judges and makes war: his eyes were as a flame of fire, on his head were many crowns: and a name inscrib'd which no one comprehended, but himself: he had a vesture dipt in blood: and his name is called, the logos of God. read more.
and the armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, cloathed in fine linnen, white and clean. out of his mouth went a sharp sword, in order to smite the nations: for he shall rule them with an iron sceptre: and tread the wine-press of the fierce vengeance of almighty God. on the mantle about his thigh was this inscription, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. I saw likewise an angel standing upon the sun; and he cryed with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, "come and gather your selves together to the supper of the great God; that ye may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses, and of those that ride on them, the flesh of all that are free, and all that are slaves, both small and great." Then I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, with their armies assembled, to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
