Bible: Rev. 17:16-18; 18:16-19

17:16 The 1  ten horns that you saw, and the beast – these will hate the prostitute and make her desolate and naked. They 2  will consume her flesh and burn her up with fire. 3  17:17 For God has put into their minds 4  to carry out his purpose 5  by making 6  a decision 7  to give their royal power 8  to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled. 9  17:18 As for 10  the woman you saw, she is the great city that has sovereignty over the kings of the earth.”

Abraham Pleads for Sodom

18:16 When the men got up to leave, 1  they looked out over 2  Sodom. (Now 3  Abraham was walking with them to see them on their way.) 4  18:17 Then the Lord said, “Should I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 5  18:18 After all, Abraham 6  will surely become 7  a great and powerful nation, and all the nations on the earth will pronounce blessings on one another 8  using his name. 18:19 I have chosen him 9  so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep 10  the way of the Lord by doing 11  what is right and just. Then the Lord will give 12  to Abraham what he promised 13  him.”
