The Judgment Of The Great Prostitute Babylon

I will explain to you the secret meaning of the woman and of the seven-headed, ten-horned Wild Beast which carries her. 8 "The Wild Beast which you have seen was, and is not, and yet is destined to re-ascend, before long, out of the bottomless pit and go his way into perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth will be filled with amazement--all whose names are not in the Book of Life, having been recorded there ever since the creation of the world--when they see the Wild Beast: because he was, and is not, and yet is to come. 9 Here is scope for the exercise of a mind that has wisdom! The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits.
