"These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.
And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. And the woman whom you saw is the great city which reigns over the kings of the earth."
After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for ever foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! "For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people lest share in her sins, and lest you receive her plagues. "For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. "Render to her just as she has rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. "In the measure that she has glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she has in her heart, I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow. "Therefore her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
Consideration: The Lamb overcomes all who make war with Him. God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, until the words of God are fulfilled. Another angel with great authority cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for ever foul spirit."
