Notes on this text (3)

1 ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُمُ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلْجَامَاتُ، وَتَكَلَّمَ مَعِي قَائِلًا لِي: «هَلُمَّ فَأُرِيَكَ دَيْنُونَةَ ٱلزَّانِيَةِ ٱلْعَظِيمَةِ ٱلْجَالِسَةِ عَلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ، 2 ٱلَّتِي زَنَى مَعَهَا مُلُوكُ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَسَكِرَ سُكَّانُ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنْ خَمْرِ زِنَاهَا». 3 فَمَضَى بِي بِٱلرُّوحِ إِلَى بَرِّيَّةٍ، فَرَأَيْتُ ٱمْرَأَةً جَالِسَةً عَلَى وَحْشٍ قِرْمِزِيٍّ مَمْلُوءٍ أَسْمَاءَ تَجْدِيفٍ، لَهُ سَبْعَةُ رُؤُوسٍ وَعَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ. 4 وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ كَانَتْ مُتَسَرْبِلَةً بِأُرْجُوانٍ وَقِرْمِزٍ، وَمُتَحَلِّيَةً بِذَهَبٍ وَحِجَارَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ وَلُؤْلُؤٍ، وَمَعَهَا كَأْسٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فِي يَدِهَا مَمْلُوَّةٌ رَجَاسَاتٍ وَنَجَاسَاتِ زِنَاهَا، 5 وَعَلَى جَبْهَتِهَا ٱسْمٌ مَكْتُوبٌ: «سِرٌّ. بَابِلُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ أُمُّ ٱلزَّوَانِي وَرَجَاسَاتِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». 6 وَرَأَيْتُ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ سَكْرَى مِنْ دَمِ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَمِنْ دَمِ شُهَدَاءِ يَسُوعَ. فَتَعَجَّبْتُ لَمَّا رَأَيْتُهَا تَعَجُّبًا عَظِيمًا! 7 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي ٱلْمَلَاكُ: «لِمَاذَا تَعَجَّبْتَ؟ أَنَا أَقُولُ لَكَ سِرَّ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ وَٱلْوَحْشِ ٱلْحَامِلِ لَهَا، ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلرُّؤُوسِ وَٱلْعَشَرَةُ ٱلْقُرُونِ: 8 ٱلْوَحْشُ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْتَ، كَانَ وَلَيْسَ ٱلْآنَ، وَهُوَ عَتِيدٌ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ مِنَ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ وَيَمْضِيَ إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ. وَسَيَتَعَجَّبُ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَيْسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ مَكْتُوبَةً فِي سِفْرِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ مُنْذُ تَأْسِيسِ ٱلْعَالَمِ، حِينَمَا يَرَوْنَ ٱلْوَحْشَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ وَلَيْسَ ٱلْآنَ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ كَائِنٌ. 9 هُنَا ٱلذِّهْنُ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ حِكْمَةٌ! اَلسَّبْعَةُ ٱلرُّؤُوسِ هِيَ سَبْعَةُ جِبَالٍ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَرْأَةُ جَالِسَةً. 10 وَسَبْعَةُ مُلُوكٍ: خَمْسَةٌ سَقَطُوا، وَوَاحِدٌ مَوْجُودٌ، وَٱلْآخَرُ لَمْ يَأْتِ بَعْدُ. وَمَتَى أَتَى يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَبْقَى قَلِيلًا. 11 وَٱلْوَحْشُ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ وَلَيْسَ ٱلْآنَ فَهُوَ ثَامِنٌ، وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ، وَيَمْضِي إِلَى ٱلْهَلَاكِ. 12 وَٱلْعَشَرَةُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَ هِيَ عَشَرَةُ مُلُوكٍ لَمْ يَأْخُذُوا مُلْكًا بَعْدُ، لَكِنَّهُمْ يَأْخُذُونَ سُلْطَانَهُمْ كَمُلُوكٍ سَاعَةً وَاحِدَةً مَعَ ٱلْوَحْشِ. 13 هَؤُلَاءِ لَهُمْ رَأْيٌ وَاحِدٌ، وَيُعْطُونَ ٱلْوَحْشَ قُدْرَتَهُمْ وَسُلْطَانَهُمْ. 14 هَؤُلَاءِ سَيُحَارِبُونَ ٱلْخَرُوفَ، وَٱلْخَرُوفُ يَغْلِبُهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْأَرْبَابِ وَمَلِكُ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ مَدْعُوُّونَ وَمُخْتَارُونَ وَمُؤْمِنُونَ». 15 ثُمَّ قَالَ لِيَ: «ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَ حَيْثُ ٱلزَّانِيَةُ جَالِسَةٌ، هِيَ شُعُوبٌ وَجُمُوعٌ وَأُمَمٌ وَأَلْسِنَةٌ. 16 وَأَمَّا ٱلْعَشَرَةُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَ عَلَى ٱلْوَحْشِ فَهَؤُلَاءِ سَيُبْغِضُونَ ٱلزَّانِيَةَ، وَسَيَجْعَلُونَهَا خَرِبَةً وَعُرْيَانَةً، وَيَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمَهَا وَيُحْرِقُونَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ. 17 لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ وَضَعَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا رَأْيَهُ، وَأَنْ يَصْنَعُوا رَأْيًا وَاحِدًا، وَيُعْطُوا ٱلْوَحْشَ مُلْكَهُمْ حَتَّى تُكْمَلَ أَقْوَالُ ٱللهِ. 18 وَٱلْمَرْأَةُ ٱلَّتِي رَأَيْتَ هِيَ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَهَا مُلْكٌ عَلَى مُلُوكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ».

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 17:15 Augustine of Hippo, Tractates on the Gospel of John (Chapter IV — 1-18)

    For that peoples are signified under the name of waters the Apocalypse of John clearly indicates to us, where, after he had been shown many waters, and he had asked what they were, was answered that they were peoples. That water, then--namely, that people--was shut in by the five books of Moses, as by five porches.
