beast. And his kingdom became dark: and they gnawed their tongues for
pain.

wounds: and did not penance for their works.
16:12. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon that great river

16:13. And I saw from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the
beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits
like frogs.

forth unto the kings of the whole earth, to gather them to battle
against the great day of the Almighty God.

Apocalypse Chapter 17
The description of the great harlot and of the beast upon which she
sits.
17:1. And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials and
spoke with me, saying: Come, I will shew thee the condemnation of the
great harlot, who sitteth upon many waters:
17:2. With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication. And
they who inhabit the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her
whoredom.
17:3. And he took me away in spirit into the desert. And I saw a woman
sitting upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy,
having seven heads and ten horns.
17:4. And the woman was clothed round about with purple and scarlet, and
gilt with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in
her hand, full of the abomination and filthiness of her fornication.
17:5. And on her forehead a name was written: A mystery: Babylon the
great, the mother of the fornications and the abominations of the earth.
A mystery... That is, a secret; because what follows of the name and
title of the great harlot is to be taken in a mystical sense. Babylon...
Either the city of the devil in general; or, if this place be to be
understood of any particular city, pagan Rome, which then and for three
hundred years persecuted the church; and was the principal seat both of
empire and idolatry.
17:6. And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with
the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And I wondered, when I had seen her,
with great admiration.
