The indictment against Yahweh’s Wife and her Ultimate Redemption
 

REVELATION CHAPTER 17

 

 

 

1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls NT:5357 phiale (fee-al'-ay); a broad shallow cup came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment NT:2917 krima (kree'-mah); a crime of damnation against the Law of the great harlot NT:4204 porne (por'-nay); a female idolater who sits NT:2521 kathemai (kath'-ay-mahee); from NT:2596; and hemai (to sit; akin to the base of NT:1476); as immoveable) on many waters,

 

2 with whom the kings NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); of ruling royalty of the earth committed fornication NT:4203; acting like a harlot from idolatry which is unlawful lust and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication."

 

3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness NT:2048 eremos (er'-ay-mos); a lonesome, desolate, and solitary place,. And I saw a woman NT:1135 gune (goo-nay'); that is a wife sitting on a scarlet beast NT:2342 therion (thay-ree'-on); dangerous and venomous which was full NT:1073 gemo (ghem'-o); swelling outward of names of blasphemy NT:988 blasphemia (blas-fay-me'-ah); evil speaking, having seven heads NT:2776 kephale (kef-al-ay'); that seized and took hold of power and ten horns NT:2768 keras (ker'-as); as the hairs on the head in a figurative sense.

 

4 The woman NT:1135 gune (goo-nay'); that is a wife was arrayed in purple NT:4209 porphura (por-foo'-rah); that is a red-blue color and scarlet, and adorned NT:5558 chrusoo (khroo-so'-o); as ornamentation with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup NT:4221 poterion (pot-ay'-ree-on); of fate full of abominations NT:946 bdelugma (bdel'-oog-mah); from NT:948; that are detestable acts of idolatry and the filthiness NT:169 akathartos (ak-ath'-ar-tos); of impure demonic lewd acts of her fornication 4202 porneia (por-ni'-ah); from NT:4203; acting like a harlot from adulteress idolatry from unlawful lust. 

 

5 And on her forehead a name NT:3686 onoma (on'-om-ah); from a presumed derivative of the base of NT:1097 (compare NT:3685); that derives pleasure of notoriety was written: MYSTERY NT:3466 musterion (moos-tay'-ree-on); of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites, BABYLON NT:897 Babulon (bab-oo-lone'); of Hebrew origin [OT:894]; tyrannical, oppressive, dictatorial, autocratic, authoritarian, and full of bitterness of wormwood THE GREAT NT:3173 megas (meg'-as); fearful), THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS NT:4204 porne (por'-nay); that is a female idolater AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS NT:946 bdelugma (bdel'-oog-mah); from NT:948; that are detestable acts of idolatry OF THE EARTH.

 

6 I saw the woman NT:1135 gune (goo-nay'); a wife, drunk NT:3184 methuo (meth-oo'-o); as intoxicated with the blood of the saints NT:40 hagios (hag'-ee-os); that are sacred, and ceremonially consecrated and with the blood of the martyrs NT:3144 martus (mar'-toos); who are judicial witness of Yahshua. And when I saw her, I marveled NT:2296 thaumazo (thou-mad'-zo); from NT:2295; with a strange admiration with great amazement.

 

7 But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery NT:3466 musterion (moos-tay'-ree-on); of silence imposed by initiation into religious rites of the woman NT:1135 gune (goo-nay'); a wife and of the beast NT:2342 therion (thay-ree'-on); dangerous and venomous that carries NT:941 bastazo (bas-tad'-zo); by declaring and sustaining her, which has the seven heads NT:2776 kephale (kef-al-ay'); that seized and took hold of power and the ten horns NT:2768 keras (ker'-as); as the hairs on the head in a figurative sense.

 

8 The beast that you saw was NT:2258 en (ane); imperfect of NT:1510; as to be in charge, and is NT:2076 esti (es-tee'); remaining not NT:3756 ou (oo); any longer, and will ascend out of the bottomless pit NT:12 abussos (ab'-us-sos); from NT:1 (as a negative particle) and a variation of NT:1037; a depthless underworld and go to perdition NT:684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a); physical, spiritual, and eternal destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book NT:975 biblion (bib-lee'-on); that is a scroll of Life from the foundation NT:2602 katabole (kat-ab-ol-ay'); or conception of the world, when they see the beast that was NT:2258 en (ane); imperfect of NT:1510; as to be in charge, and is NT:2076 esti (es-tee'); remaining not NT:3756 ou (oo); any longer, and yet is NT:3918 pareimi (par'-i-mee); in the present. 

 

9 "Here NT:5602 hode (ho'-deh); in this spot or place is the mind NT:3563 nous (nooce); with intellect from a Divine source which has wisdom NT:4678 sophia (sof-ee'-ah); from NT:4680; of the highest spiritual order: The seven heads NT:2776 kephale (kef-al-ay'); that seized and took hold of power are seven mountains NT:3735 oros (or'-os); that raises itself above the plain on which NT:3699 hopou (hop'-oo); and wherever the woman NT:1135 gune (goo-nay'), and wife sits NT:2521 kathemai (kath'-ay-mahee); from NT:2596; and resides.

 

10 There are also seven kings NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); of ruling royalty. Five have fallen, one is NT:1510 eimi (i-mee'); in existence, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time.

 

11 The beast that was NT:2258 en (ane); imperfect of NT:1510; as to be in charge and is not NT:3756 ou (oo); any longer, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition NT:684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a); physical, spiritual, and eternal destruction.

 

12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); of ruling royalty who have received no kingdom NT:932 basileia (bas-il-i'-ah); of Royalty as yet, but they receive authority NT:1849  exousia (ex-oo-see'-ah), and privilege of superhuman delegated influence for one hour NT:5610 hora (ho'-rah); in an instant as kings NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); ; of ruling royalty with the beast NT:2342 therion (thay-ree'-on); dangerous and venomous.

 

13 These are of one mind NT:1106 gnome (gno'-may); in opinion and purpose, and they will give their power and authority NT:1849 exousia (ex-oo-see'-ah); of delegated influence to the beast.

 

14 These will make war with the Lamb NT:721 arnion (ar-nee'-on); that is a male Lambkin, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Master NT:2962 kurios (koo'-ree-os); as the Supreme of masters NT:2962 kurios (koo'-ree-os); as lesser supreme’s and King NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); of ruling royalty of kings NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); of lesser ruling royalty; and those who are with Him are called NT:2822 kletos (klay-tos'); by appointed invitation to be a Saint, chosen NT:1588 eklektos (ek-lek-tos'); selected as elected favorite, and faithful NT:4103 pistos (pis-tos'), and trustworthy."

 

15 Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot NT:4204 porne (por'-nay); a female idolater sits NT:2521 kathemai (kath'-ay-mahee); from NT:2596; and resides, are peoples NT:2992 laos (lah-os'); of their own populace, multitudes, nations NT:1484 ethnos (eth'-nos); that are non-Jewish, and tongues NT:1100 glossa (gloce-sah'); that was a naturally acquired language.

 

16 And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate NT:3404 miseo (mis-eh'-o); to detest to the point of persecuting the harlot NT:4204 porne (por'-nay); a female idolater, make her desolate NT:2049 eremoo (er-ay-mo'-o); as to lay waste and naked, eat her flesh NT:4561 sarx (sarx); as stripped of the skin and burn NT:2618 katakaio (kat-ak-ah'-ee-o); from NT:2596 and NT:2545; completely to the ground all of her with fire.

 

17 For Yahweh NT:2316 theos (theh'-os); the Supreme Divinity has put it into their hearts to fulfill NT:1106 gnome (gno'-may); the judicial resolve as His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of Yahweh are fulfilled NT:5055  teleo (tel-eh'-o); as a final debt paid was accomplished.

 

18 And the woman NT:1135 gune (goo-nay'), and wife whom you saw is that great NT:3173 megas (meg'-as); fearful city NT:4172 polis (pol'-is); with walls which reigns NT:932 basileia (bas-il-i'-ah); of Royalty over the kings NT:935 basileus (bas-il-yooce’); of lesser ruling royalty of the earth."
