13 They have one purpose—to give their power and authority to the beast.
14 They will go to war against the lamb. The lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those who are called, chosen, and faithful are with him.”
15 The angel also said to me, “The waters you saw, on which the prostitute is sitting, are people, crowds, nations, and languages.
16 The ten horns and the beast you saw will hate the prostitute. They will leave her abandoned and naked. They will eat her flesh and burn her up in a fire.
17 God has made them do what he wants them to do. So they will give their kingdom to the beast until God’s words are carried out.
18 The woman you saw is the important city which dominates the kings of the earth.”
