The angel said to me: I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast. It is not; and is about to come up out of the abyss and to go into destruction.
Here is the mind that has wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. They are seven kings. Five have fallen, the one is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must continue a little while. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goes to destruction. The ten horns that you saw are 10 kings
who have received no kingdom as yet But they receive authority as kings with the beast. These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them.
