The Mystery of the Beast and the Woman

7

Then the angel said to me, “Why are you astounded? I will tell you the hidden meaning of the woman and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that was carrying her.

8

The beast you saw once was, now is not, and will come up from the Abyss; but it is on its way to destruction. The people living on earth whose names have not been written in the Book of Life since the founding of the world will be astounded to see the beast that once was, now is not, but is to appear.

9

This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven hills on which the woman is sitting; also they are seven kings —

10

five have fallen, one is living now and the other is yet to come; and when he does come, he must remain only a little while.

11

The beast which once was and now is not is an eighth king; it comes from the seven and is on its way to destruction.

12

The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet begun to rule, but they receive power as kings for one hour, along with the beast.

13

They have one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast.

14

They will go to war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will defeat them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are called, chosen and faithful will overcome along with him.”
