Revelation 17:16 Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. These ten horns are expounded by the angel. \ to be ten kings. These shall hate the whore, that is, the Church of Rome; that is, the Popedom, the priesthood, and her false idolatrous worship. And shall make her desolate and naked; that is, they shall waste the Church of Rome, take away all her revenues, which the Pope, cardinals, abbots, friars, nuns, priests, and Jesuits, have in possession. They shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire; that is, they shall utterly ruin the City of Rome, the Church of Rome, and all national papal churches, by taking away all popish lands forever.
