poured
out

out

such

hailstones,
about
the weight
of

came
down
out
of
the

on

blasphemed

because
of
the
plague
of

for
this
plague
was
exceedingly
severe.

\par }\Chap{17}{\PP \VerseOne{1}One
of

came
and
spoke
with

saying, “Come

show
you
the judgement
of
the

who
sits
on

\VS{2}with
whom

committed
sexual

away
in

sitting
on
a scarlet-coloured

full
of

having
in

a

full
of
abominations

the impurities
of

\VS{5}And
on

forehead
a
name
was
written, “MYSTERY,
BABYLON
THE

THE
MOTHER
OF

AND
OF
THE

\VS{6}I
saw
the

with
the
blood
of

and
with
the
blood
of
the martyrs
of
Jesus.
When

saw
her,
I
wondered
with
great
amazement.

said
to

the

\par }{\PP \VS{9}Here
is
the

that
has
wisdom.

sits.

are
seven
kings.
Five
have
fallen,
the

is,
and

comes,
he
must
continue
a

that
was,
and
is
not,
is
himself
also
an
eighth,
and
is
of
the
seven;
and
he
goes
to
destruction.
\VS{12}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.
\VS{13}These
have
one
mind,

they
give
their
power
and
authority
to

war
against

will
overcome

he
is

and

kings;
and
those
who
are
with
him
are
called,
chosen,
and
faithful.”
\VS{15}He
said
to
me, “The

\VS{16}The
