The woman on the red strange animal

Book of Revelation 17
The woman on the red strange animal
 1  One of the 7 *angels who had the 7 cups came to me. ‘Come with me’, he said. ‘I will show you how God will *punish the powerful bad woman. She sits upon many rivers. She is bad like a woman who sells herself to men for sex.

 2  The rulers of countries on earth have done bad things because of that woman also. They are just like men who have sex with bad women. The people who live on the earth have done bad things. They have learned to enjoy what is bad. They have copied that woman’s example. They are like drunks from the bad *wine that she gave them.’ note

 3  While God’s Spirit was causing me to dream, the *angel carried me away. He carried me to a country place where nobody lived. There I saw a woman who was sitting on a red strange animal. All over this strange animal, someone had written names that were not polite to God. The animal had 7 heads and 10 *horns.

 4  The woman was wearing *purple and red clothes. She also shone with the gold, valuable stones and *pearls that were all over her. She held a gold cup in her hand. The cup was full of the results of the very bad and dirty things that she had done.

 5  Someone had written this secret name on the front of her head: Powerful Babylon Mother of all the bad women and mother of everything that is bad on the earth.

 6  I saw that the woman was a drunk. She was like someone who had drunk the blood of God’s people. She had killed God’s people, because they had told other people about Jesus. When I saw her, I was very surprised.

 7  Then the *angel spoke to me. ‘Why does she surprise you?’ he said. ‘I will explain the secret of the woman to you, and the secret of the strange animal that she rides. The strange animal that you saw has 7 heads and 10 *horns.

 8  This animal was once alive, but it is not alive now. Soon it will come up out of the deep hole again and God will destroy it completely. This will surprise many people who live on the earth. They know that the animal was alive. And they know that it is not alive now. So, it will really surprise them when it appears again. They are the people whose names are not in God’s book. That book says who will live with God always. God wrote people’s names down in his book before he made the world.

 9  Here is a problem that you need to think about carefully. The animal’s 7 heads are like a picture of 7 hills where the woman sits.

 10  They are also like a picture of 7 kings. Five of these kings have stopped ruling. They are dead and another king is ruling now. The last king has not yet come. When he does come, he must rule only for a short time.

 11  The strange animal is another (eighth) king that belongs to this group of 7 kings. The animal was alive, but it is not alive now. And God will destroy it completely.

 12  The 10 *horns that you saw are like a picture of 10 kings. They have not yet received anywhere to rule. But they will receive authority as kings for one hour with the strange animal.

 13  They all have the same purpose. They will give their authority to the strange animal and they will make him strong.

 14  Together they will fight a war against the *Lamb. But the *Lamb will beat them because he is the most powerful *Lord. He is the King who rules over all other kings. And the people who go on believing him will be with him. He has asked them to follow him. He has chosen them.’

 15  Then the *angel spoke to me again. ‘You saw that the bad woman was sitting on many rivers’, he said. ‘Those rivers are like a picture of many countries and crowds of people from different family groups and languages.

 16  The strange animal and the 10 *horns that you saw will *hate the bad woman. They will destroy her and they will take away her clothes. They will eat the meat on her body. Then they will burn what remains of her with fire.

 17  God has given them their thoughts and he has caused them to agree. So, they will do what he wants. They will give all their authority as kings to the strange animal. The animal will continue to rule until everything has happened. Everything that God has said will certainly happen.

 18  The woman that you saw is like a picture of the powerful city. That city rules the rulers on the earth.’ note

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
