Revelation 17:1 Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: This was the fifth angel who poured the fifth vial upon the throne of the beast, \ who invited John to him, saying, Come hither; that is, to the place where he had the vision of the great whore, and her judgment from Almighty God revealed unto him, as he testified in this and Revelation 18:1-24 and Revelation 19:1-21. This great whore is called by name, mystery Babylon the great. \ That sitteth upon many waters. Which waters are expounded by the angel to the peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. \
