I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the wild beast lifting her up, having seven heads and ten horns. 8 The wild beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up from the abyss, and go forward to perdition: and they dwelling upon the earth shall wonder, whose names have not been written upon the book of life from the foundation of the world, seeing the wild beast that was, and is not, although he is.
