Revelation 17 11-18

             Paraphrased      

(The angel continues.) 11 - “As for the beast that was and is not, it’s an eighth but it belongs to the seven {final fulfillment, seven become one?} and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings - for one hour - together with the beast{/entity/institution}. {Ten horns, kings, seats, divisions, toes-Dn2.} 13 These (ten) are - of one mind - and they hand over their power and authority TO the beast. 14 They will make war against the Lamb (Ps.2, Rev.6:3-4) and the Lamb will prevail [nikaó - prevail, subdue, overcome, conquer, from nikē - victory] for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”

     15 And the angel said to me, “The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.16 And the ten horns and the beast {political} will hate the prostitute {$ity Babble}. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour {consume, waste} her and will burn her with fire {warfare}17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”

The Rev vision is told 3times, joining at trumpet 7. The seals description-as their full effects-veils much. Vs.13:13 was by an office. A weekly study.

Revelation 17:1-10

             Paraphrased      

1 - Then one of the seven angels who had the seven (concurrent?) bowls came and said to me, “Come, I’ll show you the {meanwhile} judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of earth have committed fornication.” {I.e, powers and politicians are in bed with her.} “And the dwellers upon Earth, have become drunk with the wine of her indecencies.” 3 And then he carried me (John) away in the Spirit to a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of insulting slanders, and it had seven heads and ten horns. {A many headed geopolitical beast, Dan.7:7,19.} 4 The woman {riding the beast} was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup (to drink) full of abominations and impurities. {Drinking her effects and side effects.} 5 And on her forehead was written a name, “Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Prostitution/Sex Slavery [porné - probably from pernémi - to export for sale] and of all Earth's Abominations [bdélygma - from bdelýssō, derived from bdēō, to reek {stink to high heaven ..as the saying goes} abhorrent, detestable]”. {$ity Babylon with it’s bright but garish streets and dark alleys, with a forehead/psyche/mind of ‘mystery babble’ - all confusion. Beast & $ity, Socialism & Capitalism both gone extreme. Oligarchy, but which ends up going all armageddon at each other(? in the valley when assembled against Israel? Just a recurring question. Yet verses 12 and 16 for sure.}

     6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of saints, and of martyrs, and of Jesus.” And when I saw her I wondered greatly. 7 But the angel said, “Why do you wonder? ..I’ll tell you the mystery of the woman ($ity) and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the abyss” {of potential, which imperfect is} “and goes to destruction.” {History repeats, first was the Roman Empire later ‘Holy’ Roman Empire; then a modern last days “was, wasn’t then was again” after the 13:13 event. Which event was carried out by an oFFice.} And those upon earth whose names are not {yet} written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and will be {and will become biG, finally given breath”/life/authority especially when one from the 13:13 office lawlessly steps in}. 9 This all calls for a mind with wisdom.

     The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated. {Empires?} 10 They are also seven kings, five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while.”

     {Note - Prophecy repeats -> ‘smaller’ scope to —> full scope at culmination of history. Spiritually Babel Tower restored, all hell breaks loose, but slowly from our point of view, at least until the ‘cresting’ and culmination? Jn.15:4,5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches, abide in Me.”}

Revelation 16:17-21

             Paraphrased    

17 - The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and then a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

     18 And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was upon the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered Babylon the great, to make her drink fully the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. {Full cup of consequences.} 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven. And they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so great. {The last of “seven thunders”(?) with flashes of lightning, rumblings, and great hail. The higher and faster moisture rises, the greater the hail. Making the earth shake to and fro, Is.24:20.}
