The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth.

He said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
