又一天神隨其後而言曰：「盛極一時之巴比倫、素以荒淫之酒鴆毒天下萬國者、已見傾覆、」更有一天神隨其後、大聲而言曰：「如有拜獸及獸像、而受印誌於額或手者。將飲天主罰杯中之真霹靂酒；且將於聖天神及羔羊之前受火與硫璜之苦刑；煎燒之煙、蓬蓬上升、曠世不休。哀哉拜獸及其像、而受其名之印誌者、日夜遑遑、不得寧息。」

嗟爾天廷諸聖、宗徒、先知、今宜懽忻而鼓舞。蓋天主已予以審判、以伸爾之義矣。

手執雙鋒劍。口宣諷誦音。竭忠施天誅。群逆知所懲。世王被鏈索。冢臣加桎梏。暢行主宿命。此榮將誰屬。願爾諸聖者。款款致心曲。

爾時七持爵天神之一、來與予語曰：「來、吾欲示以大娼之處決；大娼者、即坐於諸川之上、與世間百王行淫、而使舉世之人沈湎於其淫亂之酒者也。」天神乃攝吾之神魂、入一曠野、見有一婦坐赤獸上；赤獸七首十角、渾身皆僭妄穢褻之名。婦人披紫着朱、飾金珠寶石、手執金樽、樽中滿貯淫亂眾穢、及無恥之事；額上題名曰：吾又見婦人已因暢飲眾聖及諸為耶穌致命者之血、而酩酊矣。吾對之不勝驚訝駭異之至。天神語予曰：胡驚異為？吾欲告爾以此婦及其所乘七首十角之獸之秘密。爾適所見之獸、一現即逝、又將起自深淵、終必淪胥以亡。舉世之人、凡其名自創世以來、未見錄於生命冊者、以其獸之一現即逝、而復勃興。咸將見而歎服。此中有妙義焉：七首者、即此婦所坐鎮之七山、亦即七王；就中五者已隕一尚存、一將至；及其至也、當有片時停留；而一現即逝之獸、其本身即為第八、出於第七、而歸於消滅。爾所見之十角亦十王也、至今未秉國鈞、後當與獸同享王權、亦只片晷。十王惟具一心、欲將己之權柄統歸於獸、俾合力與羔羊交戰、而羔羊終必克之。羔羊乃萬主之主、萬王之王。凡蒙召承選、忠心耿耿、而與羔羊並肩作戰者、靡有不勝。天神又語予曰：「爾所見大娼坐鎮之諸川、乃列國、兆民、萬族、重譯也。爾所見之十角及獸、終必痛恨大娼、褫其衣而裸之、且吞食其肉、而付諸一焚。凡此皆天主為促成聖謨、而使若輩一致讓國與獸、以待天主之言之圓滿見驗耳。至爾所見之婦、即統治天下萬王之大都邑者也。
