  • 17:8 The beast that you saw existed once and exists no longer; it is going to rise out of the abyss, and it goes on to destruction. The people of the earth, those whose names have not been written in the book of life since the world was founded, will marvel to see the beast, for it was, and is not, and will be present again. 3
  • 17:3 In the Spirit he took me away to a wilderness. I saw a woman seated on a scarlet beast. The beast was full of names that blasphemed God, and it had seven heads and ten horns. 1
  • 17:12 As for the ten horns you saw, they are ten kings who have no kingdom yet; but together with the beast they receive royal authority for one hour. 1
  • 17:14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are the called, the chosen, the faithful." 1
