The Meaning of the Woman and the Beast

7 But the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the1 mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.  
8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and awill ascend out of the bottomless pit and bgo to perdition. And those who cdwell on the earth dwill marvel, ewhose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and2 yet is.  
9 a“Here is the mind which has wisdom: bThe seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.  
10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must acontinue a short time.  
11 The abeast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to1 perdition.
