Babylon’s Broken Throne
(yeah) John is approached by one of the seven angels who had the
seven bowls, saying
Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great
whore, displaying
She who sits on many waters,
with whom kings of the earth have committed fornication
Inhabitants of the earth,
intoxicated with her wine of abomination
MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS (oh yeah,
she sits on the waters) Her fate is sealed,
the judgment awaits John is carried away in the Spirit into the
wilderness scene
To witness a woman on a scarlet-colored beast,
oh so mean It is full of names of blasphemy,
seven heads, and ten horns
Adorned with purple and scarlet,
golden adornments she adorns
A golden cup in her hand,
full of abominations and impurities she does hold
Upon her forehead a name inscribed,
reading bold
Drunk with the blood of saints,
the martyrs of Jesus,
John marvels at her sight
Yet the angel questions his wonder,
guiding him to insight
The beast she rides once was,
is not, and will ascend again
Destined for destruction, its followers' hearts shall remain
The seven heads are seven mountains,
and on them the woman sits in mandate They are also seven
kings, of which five are fallen,
one is, another to come late
Ten horns seen are ten kings yet to receive their power They
rally around the beast,
agreeing to lend their hour These wage war against the Lamb,
but He claims victory For He is the Lord of lords,
King of kings, empowered in His decree
The waters she sits are peoples and multitudes in their expanse The
beast and kings intend her ruin,
fulfilling divine sentence The woman,
symbolized as the great city ruling earthly scene
Sways nations in deceit,
yet her downfall is foreseen
Heavenly Father, in the enigmatic depiction of Revelation seventeen,
grant us wisdom
and discernment
To recognize and resist the seductive allure of worldly powers
May we remain steadfast in our commitment to righteousness
Standing firm in the faith of the Lamb who triumphs
Keep our hearts aligned with Your truth,
and guard us against deceit
Amen
