Revelation 17:8

---

← Revelation 17:7	Revelation 17:8 (KJV)	Revelation 17:9 →
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.	The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.	And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
