The beast and the prostitute: 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:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication,
and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
The great whore is spiritual leader of many peoples and tongues: With whom the powerful nations of the earth have practiced pagan worship.
---
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls,
having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
And the woman had purple and scarlet clothes, ..., and had a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
---
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:
and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel?
I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
---
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition:
and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,
when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
The beast you saw is of the past, and does not exist now (when revealed to John); and shall come back from the bottomless pit (in the future), ... :
---
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
The seven heads are seven empires, where the woman has her residence. And they are ruled by seven kings: five are fallen, and number six rules
(when the revelation is given to John), and number seven has not yet come; and when he comes, he must wait a short time after the fall of no. six.
---
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
And the beast that was, and is not, he is coming back as empire number eighth, and is one of the five that have fallen, and will go into perdition.
And the ten horns you saw are ten kings, they have not received a kingdom yet; but they receive power as kings 41 years+8 months with the beast.
(One hour according to 2 Peter 3:8 is 1000 years : 24 = 41 years + 8 months.)
---
13 These (the ten kings) have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings:
and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
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.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

But it seems we must consider who was - and now is - in control over Jerusalem, so I have adjusted for The Ottoman empire.
The five fallen empires are the five first on the list below, and no six is the one "that is" when John gets the Revelation:
1. Egypt (3000 BC – 858 BC) Defeated by Assyrian invasion and succeeded by them.
2. Assyria ( 858 BC – 612 BC) Nineveh destroyed by Medes and Babylonians in 612 BC then defeated by Babylonians.
3. Babylon ( 605 BC – 539 BC) Begun by Nebuchadnezzar, ended by Medes and Persians.
4. Media-Persia ( 539 BC – 331 BC) Destroyed Babylon. Established by Cyrus the Great. Ended by defeat at hands of Alexander.
5. Greece ( 331 BC – 31 BC) Alexander defeated the Persians and established Greek world rule. Ended by Roman.
6. Rome ( 31 BC – AD 476) with “ Holy Roman Empire.” Fell to Germanic invasion.
- East Rome ( AD 476 – AD 1453) also called Byzantine Empire. Fell to Ottoman Empire. Short time between no. 6 and no 7: about 63 years.
7. Ottoman (AD 1516 – AD 1917) Declined from 1908 until dissolution in 1922.
8. UK/USA (AD 1917 – still in power) The British empire - where the sun never went down. USA got superpower status during WW2.
UK/USA established NATO in 1949, together with 10 other countries:
- Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Holland,
- Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal.
When the Berlin wall was opened 9th November 1989, NATO became dominant in world politics - and the 10 smaller countries suddenly became powerful. NATO declared some limited operations, where several of the member countries participated - including small Norway.
As stated in Revelation 17:12 the 10 kings (toes on the two feet) get power as kings for 1 hour = 1000 years : 24 = 41 years + 8 months,
according to 2 Peter 3:8. If we count from 9th November 1989, 1 hour later will be reached 9th July 2031.
The beast which once was, before John got the revelation must be one of the five that have fallen - coming back as no. 8, and going into perdition.
The only empire among the 5 first that fits as a description of UK/USA is Babylon:
- Arch of Baal in London - Erected 19th April 2016 https://www.google.com/search?ei=rg98XNyPBM6h6QTB7ZjwCg&q=Youtube%3A+Arch+of+Baal+in+London
- Arch of Baal in New York - Erected 19th September 2016 https://www.google.com/search?ei=nQl8XIevC4un6AS9vq6ABQ&q=Youtube%3A+Arch+of+Baal+in+New+York
- Arch of Baal in Washington - Erected 30th September 2018 https://www.google.com/search?ei=CA18XMDLBKmHk74P9cCxsAo&q=Youtube%3A+Arch+of+Baal+in+Washington
Remember Nebuchadnezzar's dream, where his kingdom was represented by the head of gold. The last empire represented by the two feet and the ten toes got destroyed by a stone thrown from above.
Babylonia was an Akkadian city-state (founded in 1894 BC by an Amorite dynasty) of ancient Mesopotamia, the remains
of which are found in present-day Hillah (Babylon Province) in Iraq, about 85 kilometres (53 miles) south of Baghdad.
USA overthrew the ruler of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, and delivered him to the new authorities 13th December 2003.
Saddam Hussein was condemned to death by hanging, and he was executed in the morning 30th December 2006.
