Scripture Reading
Here is the mind of the one having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits upon them;
also they are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and another has not yet come. And when he comes it is necessary he remains a little while. And the beast which was and is not also himself is an eighth and he is out from the seven and goes into destruction.
And the ten heads which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings for one hour with the beast. These having one opinion and they give to the beast their inherent ability and authority. These will wage war with the Lamb and the Lamb will conquer them because He is Lord of those lording and King of those reigning, and the called even elect even faithful with Him.
And he said to me, “The waters which you saw were the harlot sits, they are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues.
