Revelation 17:7-14
17:7 But
the angel said to me, “Why are you astounded? I will interpret
for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
17:8 The beast you saw was, and is not, but is about to come up from the abyss
and then go to destruction. The
inhabitants of the earth – all those whose names have not been written in the book of life since the foundation of the world – will be astounded when they see that
the beast was, and is not, but is to come.
17:9 (This requires
a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains
the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:
17:10 five have fallen; one is,
and the other has not yet come, but whenever he does come, he must remain for only a brief time.
17:11 The
beast that was, and is not, is himself an eighth king and yet is one of the seven, and is going to destruction.
17:12 The
ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but will receive ruling authority
as kings with the beast for one hour.
17:13 These kings
have a single intent, and they will give their power and authority to the beast.
17:14 They will make war with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those accompanying
the Lamb are the called, chosen, and faithful.”
