Revelation 17:7-11

7“WhyG1223G5101 are you so amazedG2296?” saidG2036 theG3588 angelG32. “IG1473 will tellG2046 youG4771 theG3588 mysteryG3466 of theG3588 womanG1135 andG2532 of theG3588 beastG2342 thatG3588 carriesG941 herG846, whichG3588 hasG2192 theG3588 sevenG2033 headsG2776 andG2532 tenG1176 hornsG2768.

8TheG3588 beastG2342 thatG3739 you sawG3708—it wasG1510, andG2532 now isG1510 no moreG3756, but is aboutG3195 to come upG305 out ofG1537 theG3588 AbyssG12 andG2532 goG5217 toG1519 its destructionG684. AndG2532 those whoG3588 dwellG2730 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 whoseG3739 namesG3686 were not writtenG3756G1125 inG1909 theG3588 BookG975 of LifeG2222 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889 will marvelG2296 when they seeG991 theG3588 beastG2342 thatG3754 wasG1510, andG2532 isG1510 notG3756, and yetG2532 will beG3918.

9This calls forG5602 a mindG3563 withG2192 wisdomG4678. TheG3588 sevenG2033 headsG2776 areG1510 sevenG2033 mountainsG3735 onG1909 whichG3699 theG3588 womanG1135 sitsG2521. 10There areG1510 alsoG2532 sevenG2033 kingsG935. FiveG4002 have fallenG4098, oneG1520 isG1510, and theG3588 otherG243 has not yetG3768 comeG2064. But whenG3752 he does comeG2064, heG846 mustG1163 remainG3306 for only a little whileG3641.

11

TheG3588 beastG2342 thatG3739 wasG1510, andG2532 now isG1510 notG3756, isG1510 an eighthG3590 king, who belongs toG1510 theG3588 other sevenG2033 andG2532 is goingG5217 intoG1519 destructionG684.
