1 - One of the seven angels which had the bowls, came and spoke with me (John) saying, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute/unfaithful [greek pornes] sitting upon many waters. (Key to vs-9.) 2 The kings of earth are in bed with her. And the inhabitants of earth are drunk upon the wine of her indecency.” 3 And he carried me off in the Spirit to a solitary place, where I saw a woman sitting on a red beast that was full of the names of blasphemy. It had seven heads and ten horns (Dn.7:7,19; 2:39,40). 4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was adorned with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations [the greek word includes odorous] and impurities [akathartos - unclean, impure, a - cathartos, contaminations] of her sexual immoralities [porneias]. [Ps.45:8 - “A cup of foaming wine, in the hand of Yahweh (Yhvh) is mixed with spices, and he pours it and the wicked of earth will drink it down to the dregs of it.” God made a cause and effect reality. The foam is the - side effects,  and consequences of ‘her’ murders, perversions, the selling of the bodies and lives of man (anthropos/people).] 5 And on her forehead was a mysterious name written “Babylon the Great [megas] the Mother of the Prostitutions and Abominations of the Earth”  (‘mystery babble’/all confusion?) 6 (Six is thought to be the # of man/anthropos) - And I saw the woman ($ity Babble?) was drunk with the blood of the set apart ones and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I marveled with great wonder. 7 And the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast carrying her, having the seven heads and ten horns (Dn.7:7,19; 2:39,40 and history repeats?) 8 The beast you saw (Roman Empire) then was not, but then is again (Holy Roman Empire) is about to come up out of the abyss (of potential of the straying way/imperfection) and into destruction, and all those dwelling on the earth whose names are not (yet) written in the Book of Life that is from the foundation of the world [kosmos] when they see the beast that was (a modern version, the adversary being a - changing - angel of light) and then wasn’t. Then was again. (Especially when it is given breath by the horn/seat/office pinpointed by the 13:13 event? It was, wasn’t, then after 13:13, was again.) 9 Here is the understanding of wisdom - the seven heads are seven mountains (continents? i.e. global?) the woman sits upon. 10 And there are seven kings, five are fallen, one is and one is not yet come. And when he does come, it will be for a little while.
