Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot |
|
|
1 |
sitting on many waters, --Rev 17:1 |

with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, |
|
|
2 |
and became drunk with the wine of her fornication, those inhabiting the earth. --Rev 17:2 |

and precious stones |
|
|
4 |
and pearls, |
|
|
4 |
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. --Rev 17:4 |

|
|
8 |
and is about to ascend out of the abyss |

and go into perdition. |
|

those whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, |

|
13 |

|
16 |
these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked. |
|
|

|
16 |
|
and burn her with fire. --Rev 17:16 |
