An angel shows John “the great prostitute,” Babylon, seated on a scarlet beast and “on many waters,” “drunk with the blood of the saints.” She represents the seductive, God-opposing world system and empire. But the angel reveals that the beast and its allied kings “will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings,” and even the beast will turn on Babylon and destroy her.
