Revelation 17:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ The ten horns and the beast you saw will hate the ·prostitute [whore]. They will ·take everything she has [make her desolate] and leave her naked. They will eat her body and burn her with fire [Ezek. 23:25–29]. ¹⁷ [^LFor] God ·made the ten horns want [^Lput it into their hearts] to carry out his ·purpose [intention] by agreeing to give the beast their ·power to rule [kingdom], until ·what God has said comes about [^Lthe word of God has been fulfilled/completed]. ¹⁸ The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth.” [^CWhether symbolized by Rome, Babylon, Sodom or apostate Jerusalem, this city is ultimately the human world system ruled by Satan standing in opposition to the city of God, the new Jerusalem.]
